Tammy Abraham (£7.3m) has been tasked with leading the Chelsea line for their Gameweek 3 trip to West Bromwich Albion.

After impressing midweek, the former Swansea City loanee makes his first Premier League start of the season in what looks to be a 4-2-3-1 formation named by Frank Lampard.

That suggests a slightly wider role for Timo Werner (£9.5m), who is capable of operating as a left-winger, while Kai Havertz (£8.4m) gets his first chance to play number 10 in a league match since arriving from Bayer Leverkusen.

Meanwhile, Abraham coming into the team has forced Jorginho (£5.1m) to the bench, which should make for interesting viewing if Chelsea win any penalties this afternoon, as the Italian has taken two since the start of the season.

In defence, Reece James (£5.1m) continues to silence the naysayers worried about rotation, as he starts ahead of Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.9m) for the third match in a row.

His Fantasy credentials are boosted by a Premier League debut for Thiago Silva (£5.5m), although Willy Caballero (£4.9m) makes one last start in goal as Edouard Mendy‘s (£5.0m) came too soon for involvement in Gameweek 3.

Matheus Pereira (£6.0m) remains the only asset of slight Fantasy worth in the West Bromwich Albion side.

The mid-priced midfielder is the most popular among Baggies starters but is only owned by 2.5% ahead of a testing meeting with Chelsea.

West Bromwich Albion XI (5-4-1): Johnstone; C Townsend, O’Shea, Bartley, Ajayi, Furlong; Diangana, Sawyers, Livermore, M Pereira; C Robinson.

Chelsea XI (4-2-3-1): Caballero; Alonso, T Silva, Christensen, R James; Kanté, Kovačić; Werner, Havertz, Mount; Abraham.

    Havertz > Mount?

    I was looking forward to Chelsea scoring big against Leeds as well, but can't see this Chelsea team coping with the press and movement from Bielsa's side.

      Mount took his short early & to Johnstone's right who was probably expecting him to go more central before shooting

  7. Manani
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Johnstone had a computing error in his system for that goal

  11. KGFC

  12. Over Midwicket

    James on all corners. Love it.

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Dreadful at them

    2. DandyDon
      6 years, 28 days ago

  13. Ze_Austin
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Still no draw this season

  14. Free Hat
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Crosses mostly are alright, but James corners are pretty awful this game.

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Yeah I was thinking the same

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Doesn't help that our best aerial threats are Giroud & Zouma, who are both not on the pitch.

  15. Ser Davos
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Would love to see a Mount bandwagon

  16. TheDragon
    6 years, 28 days ago

    1. Egg noodle

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  18. Hybrid.power

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Afraid not

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      6 years, 28 days ago

      What’s that?

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      6 years, 28 days ago

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Yes, After you put them in the washing machine

    6. Zimo
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Maybe wolves and liverpool. The rest i don't trust

  19. The Big Fella
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Well that answers my question about whether I should bring their new keeper in for £5m.........

    1. Check out my Umtiti's
      6 years, 28 days ago

      You should consider getting gonorrhea instead

      1. The Big Fella
        6 years, 28 days ago

        I got that for free from your mum mate - why would I pay twice?

        1. Bartowski
          6 years, 28 days ago

          If you got if for free, why would you subsequently be paying twice?

          1. Diedhiou See That?
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            6 years, 28 days ago

            Logic

            1. Bartowski
              6 years, 28 days ago

              I've just always been fascinated by the economics of gonorrhea, that's all.

              1. The Big Fella
                6 years, 28 days ago

                I got the clap for free, I had still had to pay her for her "time" though. Everybody does.

          2. Check out my Umtiti's
            6 years, 28 days ago

            Hahaha fail. Try harder

  20. DandyDon
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Surprised to not see Chilwell on the bench after his cup cameo. Any injury update there?

    1. ivantys
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Frank probably thinking it's just WBA, Alonso can handle it.

  21. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Get some god damn goals Werner

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      6 years, 28 days ago

      He won’t

    2. dshv
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Please

    3. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Werner doesn't look like scoring at all

  22. Says
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Chelsea waking up a bit.

    4-1 final score.

  23. Egg noodle
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Mount + Azpi? Oh the luls

  24. Rainer
    6 years, 28 days ago

    If James holds that BAP 😆

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 28 days ago

      He's been so poor - points

  25. Keep Calm and Play On
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Abraham is woeful

    1. Rainer
      6 years, 28 days ago

      You rate him that highly?

      1. Keep Calm and Play On
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Haha all he is doing is running into the same channels as Werner bringing defenders with him, doesn’t even challenge aerial balls...just terrible if Frank can’t see that Giroud needs to come on

  26. ManofKent
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Mount has been their best player

    1. Keep Calm and Play On
      6 years, 28 days ago

      He was very good for us last season too

  27. TyroneGAA
    6 years, 28 days ago
