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.

    Cleanies are a thing of the past.

      This feels like the antithesis of the first couple of weeks after lockdown.

      1. Zimo
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Seriously what happened

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

          Penalties.

    2. sunzip14
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Southampton will disagree...

    3. Hattrick Harry
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Not for WBA

    4. Pep bites Kun
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Ah, early season always cleanies are in short supply. Give it a few more gws and teams will mould

    That Chelsea kit looks like something my young daughter would have designed before she started to develop any taste.

    1. Ser Davos
      6 years, 28 days ago

      In the voice of Silvio Dante, "deesgusting".

      Love WB's kit

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

        Yeah, it's nice. Probably looks nicer next to that abomination.

    2. Tempestic
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Looks like they ran out of ink printing the palace kit

  4. The Train Driver
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Imagine being a Werner and Trossard owner this gw...

  5. FPL Daniel
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Come oooooonnn Turbo Timo

  6. Flair
    6 years, 28 days ago

    I should have a goal and assist already, how bad can this get

  7. Roy Hudd
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Werner crossbar (145th repeat)

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

    Must be almost full-time surely 😉

  9. Fred54
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Who provided the assist for Werner crossbar chance?

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

      Mount

      1. The Train Driver
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Nope, Haverts..

        1. The Train Driver
          6 years, 28 days ago

          Mount, my bad..

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

          Wrong...Havertz passed to mount

    2. Begbie.
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Mount

    3. ivantys
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Mount

    4. The Mandalorian
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Mount

    5. Von Lipwig
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Mount. Looks dangerous

    6. Zimo
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Mount i think

    7. Gunners in Haaland
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Havertz?

      1. FPL Daniel
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Mount. Havertz with the hockey assist

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

    Werner in this role with Giroud holding up the ball allowing him to run behind could be gold the second half

    1. Nomar
      6 years, 28 days ago

      For £9.5m, though, his current output isn't cutting it for me.

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

        It’s still early but I agree, if he doesn’t impress this GW he’s out for Jimi or Ings

      2. Hattrick Harry
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Giroud is cheaper than 9.5

  11. Bartowski
    6 years, 28 days ago

    No one even gonna mention that Werner just hit the woodwork?!

  12. Begbie.
    6 years, 28 days ago

    West Brom look poor defensively though. Ings captain next week could be a great shout.

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

      With SOU's defense maybe Pereira is as good an option for Captain - could be goals flying in from both sides.

      1. have you seen cyan
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Saints will surely have had a kick up the behind following last weeks result, thats what happened when Leciester smashed them. I expect Saints to be better at the back now, Forster might come in as well at some point

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Youve just noticed?

  13. sunzip14
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Mount should have just rolled the ball

  14. EmreCan Hustle
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Morning shows the day 🙁

  15. Ze_Austin
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Remember that old ad on YouTube where Ronaldinho kept kicking to the crossbar and getting the ball back, from like nearly a quarter-pitch away?

    Today's been a fun reminder

    1. Joey Tribbiani
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Joga Bonito.

    2. Zilla
      6 years, 28 days ago

      First YouTube video to hit 1m

  16. have you seen cyan
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Tammy will get a goal I think, Werner assist lol

  17. Andy_Social
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Should've captained the woodwork this week. Must be on for maximum baps.

    1. Bartowski
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Terrible post.

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Sets the bar pretty high

    3. Yankee Toffee
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Two guys walk into a bar...

  18. seewhyaxe
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Crossbar seems bigger these days

    1. Ze_Austin
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Mou's midweek complaint springs to mind

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

    Chelsea are scoring today, I just hope James is involved somehow

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

    Why is Lampard disrespecting Azpilicueta like that?

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

      No idea, he should start over Alonso imo

    2. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 28 days ago

      He was injured and practically didn't have a preseason

  21. Gudjohnsen
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Werner pulling a Shevshenko, Torres, Higuain, Kezman and Crespo all in one.

    1. Vazza
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Haha

    2. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Crespo was great he scored many goals. Torres won so many trophies too

      1. Gudjohnsen
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Crespo was great at Parma, Milan and Lazio

        Chelsea not so much

    3. Royal5
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Add Morata

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

        Wow, it hasn't even been that long and I've already forgotten about him

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

        Nah he would have been offside

    4. how now brown cow
      6 years, 28 days ago

      The new Chris Sutton

  22. FPL Daniel
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Turbo Timo trying again

  23. Salah(c)
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Werner to kane for a hit?

    1. Salah(c)
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Before price changes

  24. LewanGOALski
    6 years, 28 days ago

    too good draft to resist hitting the WC button

    Martinez - 4.0
    Semedo - Saiss - Coleman - Lamptey - Mitchell
    Salah - KDB - Sterling - Barnes - 4.5
    Jimenez - Maupay - Mitrovic

    1. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Perfect

    2. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 28 days ago

      It's decent

    3. Tinkermania
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Too much Wolves

    4. Siva Mohan
      6 years, 28 days ago

      go for Coleman or Digne for attacking returns only .. they wouldn't keep a CS with Mina and Pickford whatever the fixture

  25. Begbie.
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Mount or James are definitely getting attacking returns here. WBA left hand side is so poor.

  26. Flair
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Kovacic is crucial to that Chelsea attack

  27. FPL Daniel
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Mount doesn't know his role. Plays in so many positions and looks kind of lost

    1. Pukki Blinders
      6 years, 28 days ago

      You won’t see him for much longer when Puli and Ziyech return

  28. Gudjohnsen
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Werner to Jimenez for free?

    1. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 28 days ago

      I am trying to have them both

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Has the game finished ??

    3. Flair
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Calm...

  29. Flair
    6 years, 28 days ago

    West Brom defense is absolutely dreadful, wow.

  30. ivantys
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Tammy will score when someone FPL irrelevant passes to him.
