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.

    Could use some input:

    Keep/Buy, Hold or Sell/Avoid?

    A. Bruno

    1. Muller Reus Corner
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Keep Bruno and Sell Martial, that’s what I’m planning anyway

  6. DAZZ
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Timo’s gone, tonight. This isn’t good enough for 9.5M.

    1. Nomar
      6 years, 28 days ago

      He should have been on the CHO's spot for that goal, not the other way around, imo.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  20. Right In The Stanchion
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Werner could still grab a brace

    1. Planet Jo
      6 years, 28 days ago

      More likely to wear one on his teeth

    2. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  21. Rainer
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Thiago Silva one of the worst Prem debuts ever.

    1. ELTACTICO
      6 years, 28 days ago

      No chance.

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

      Did you see Havertz?

  22. Yank Revolution
    6 years, 28 days ago

    I sold Werner for a hit this week and was questioned about it here of course ("But they have West Brom next, arent you nervous?") I replied, not in the slightest and Chelsea looked very weak vs Pool...

    Dont fixture chase, (especially just one match) people! It rarely ever turns out how u think it will. Form over fixtures, always.

    1. Nomar

          I think I saw he's in the frame to fall tonight though, according to FPL stats, which *would* make him 4.4? (unless I mis-read)
