Timo Werner‘s (£9.3m) double-figure haul in Gameweek 5 has earned him a second successive Premier League start as Chelsea’s centre-forward.

The German international spearheads a front-three once again, this time as they travel to face Manchester United, who have conceded nine goals in two matches at Old Trafford this season.

Frank Lampard has gone with Christian Pulisic (£8.3m) and Kai Havertz (£8.4m) either side of Werner, which means Mason Mount (£6.9m) finds himself on the bench.

After two successive benchings, Reece James (£5.0m) is back in the team, operating as a right wing-back in what looks to be a 3-4-3 formation.

Ben Chilwell (£5.7m) keeps his place in the team to fulfil the according left-sided role, while Kurt Zouma (£5.0m), Thiago Silva (£5.5m) and Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.9m) staff the back-three.

Fresh from a week on the front pages, as well as the back, Marcus Rashford (£9.5m) starts up-front again for Manchester United, with Anthony Martial (£8.8m) serving the second of his three-match suspension.

Daniel James (£6.3m) and Juan Mata (£5.9m) provide the width either side of Bruno Fernandes (£10.5m) in attacking midfield while Paul Pogba (£7.8m), Mason Greenwood (£7.2m) and Edinson Cavani are the options on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s bench.

Despite a promising midweek performance, Axel Tuanzebe (£4.5m) is among the substitutes, Harry Maguire (£5.4m) and Victor Lindelöf (£4.9m) the preferred options at centre-back.

Manchester United XI (4-2-3-1): De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelöf, Wan-Bissaka; Fred, McTominay; D James, B Fernandes, Mata; Rashford.

Chelsea XI (3-4-3): E Mendy; Zouma, T Silva, Azpilicueta; Chilwell, Kanté, Jorginho, R James; Pulisic, Werner, Havertz.

    Tuanzebe is very unlucky not to start after his midweek performance but it's probably the right decision given how long he's been out for.

    1. JBG
      6 years, 17 days ago

      He was very tired, OGS said before the match.

    2. FPLHaggis
      6 years, 17 days ago

      After 10 months out his legs will be in bits, pro footballer or not. His time will come based on that performance.

  2. Jafooli
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Everyone gangsta until Lasana Traore enters the chat....

  3. SHOOTER MCGINN
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Can't see this being anything other than a draw. Probably 1-1.

    1. Flair
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Should be low scoring for sure, 6 pointer for both teams

  4. FPL Daniel
    6 years, 17 days ago

    How many CSs will Liverpool get in the next 5 games, what you think? Talking about after the Sheffield game?

    1. Flair
      6 years, 17 days ago

      2-3

  5. Begbie.
    6 years, 17 days ago

    What minute do we reckon Bruno will get his penalty?

    1. Flair
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Never

      1. Begbie.
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Lol. Good one! 😆

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Will get one on 34th and another on 76th

    3. ivantys
      6 years, 17 days ago

      0, hasn't conceded any this season

  6. faux_C
    6 years, 17 days ago

    How on earth does Zaha have 29% ownership?

    1. Fred54
      6 years, 17 days ago

      FPL > Transfers > Sort by Total Score > Sort by Mids.

    2. I Must Break You

      6 years, 17 days ago

      Fixtures

    3. djoker_nole
      6 years, 17 days ago

      same way Grealish has 27%

    4. Defcons are for Kinnear
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Early WC. He's been near the top from GW1 for mids

    5. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Penalties
      Classified mid playing striker
      In form

      This should not be surprising unless you are playing last year's game.

    6. George Sillett
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Because 29% have bought him ?

    7. Sun Jihai

      6 years, 17 days ago

      Cheap
      On penalties
      In form
      Nailed

      1. Pep bites Kun
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Yep, that's it

      2. circusmonkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Just played Fulham, should have done it myself.

      3. FourLokoLeipzig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 17 days ago

        On form? He was awful last week, and seems very hit or miss this season. On the upside, he seems to have a happy knack of keeping the points ticking over, but that’s partly down to pens... which he may have lost? I’m not convinced

  7. ClassiX

    6 years, 17 days ago

    Frank looking like The Edge from U2.

    1. Fred54
      6 years, 17 days ago

      I tried Googling U2 songs for a cheap joke but I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

      1. how now brown cow
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Could you not find One?

      2. Begbie.
        6 years, 17 days ago

        That's Bad.

      3. Hulk Smash
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Brilliant

      4. Jafooli
        6 years, 17 days ago

        😀

    2. Pep bites Kun
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Without the hat?

      1. BeaversWithAttitude
        6 years, 17 days ago

        That joke's a right Lemon!

        1. Pep bites Kun
          6 years, 17 days ago

          I'd like to class it as a prize lemon 😉

  8. George Sillett
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Brosstan absent today after his ridiculous childish outburst last night ?

    1. Hulk Smash
      6 years, 17 days ago

      What did I miss?

      1. George Sillett
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Had a tantrum because Bamford scored 3 and Grealish blanked. It was pathetic akin to a 5 year old child.

        1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
          6 years, 17 days ago

          Nothing out of the ordinary

          1. George Sillett
            6 years, 17 days ago

            Kind of stuff you learn to expect from his limited capacity.

    2. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Never stopped him from showing up before

    3. THE Wild Rover
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Why can’t people see that he doesn’t mean a word he says? Like Fudgy, he is just an attention seeker who would get bored and clear off if everyone ignored them.

      1. George Sillett
        6 years, 17 days ago

        He considers himself to be amusing which is concerning.

        1. beric
          6 years, 17 days ago

          Its all just so repetitive and predictable. Really weak trolling

          1. George Sillett
            6 years, 17 days ago

            Yes he's sh1te at it too.

      2. JIMMY TUGGINS
        6 years, 17 days ago

        I'll never be convinced that Fudgy is intentionally trolling even if he admits to it himself.

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      6 years, 17 days ago

      He was here earlier tonight, making a fool of himself as usual

    5. DandyDon
      6 years, 17 days ago

      I think I might have had a similar tantrum if I’d brought in Grealish for a -4 like I’d planned. Luck on me so far as missed a deadline for first time ever and Rodriguez recovered from his injury. Wouldn’t be surprised if Jimi out scores Kane tomorrow to!

    6. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 17 days ago

      I wonder why he bothers playing this game since it's apparently 100% luck according to him. Coincidentally that's exactly what people who lose at poker -- or really any game of probabilities -- say.

      1. George Sillett
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Probably so that he can come on here constantly wumming and moaning to entertain his tiny brain. The only person he makes a c0ck of is himself.

  9. Fred54
    6 years, 17 days ago

    What minute do we reckon is the best minute to canvass the guess of the Bruno penalty?

    1. how now brown cow
      6 years, 17 days ago

      I was wondering what minute you'd ask this.

  10. ace3.1415
    6 years, 17 days ago

    What happened to telles?

    1. LegendMoon
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Ole been a bad boy, mums put him on a telle ban

  11. sandman58
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Long term Grealish or Zaha??

    1. Gobigorgohome
      6 years, 17 days ago

      both

    2. AzzaroMax99
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Zaha

    3. Begbie.
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Zaha

    4. Shark Team
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Grealish will have a great run of form when Villa has a great scoring run(I think gw9-14)

    5. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 17 days ago

      I still think Grealish. He easily should have matched Zaha this week, and is more consistent. I don’t think there will be much in it though

  12. djoker_nole
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Watching this after the Clasico and feels like a diff sport altogether

  13. Chucky
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Those with Jorginho and Bruno should sit back and enjoy the peno show... guaranteed points and baps...

    1. Jafooli
      6 years, 17 days ago

      😎

      😛

      :peno:

      1. Chucky

  14. afcblegend

    This is absolutely dire

    1. THE Wild Rover
      6 years, 17 days ago

      You must be watching a better game than me

  15. pemell
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Anyone knows if Agüero was subbed because of an injury?

    1. Joey Tribbiani
      6 years, 17 days ago

      yes

      1. pemell
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Thanks

      2. pemell
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Hopefully back til next fixture

    2. CloudSky
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Yes, hamstring.

    3. THE Wild Rover
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Hamstring

    4. pemell
      6 years, 14 days ago

      Talks are he is out for some time

    5. pemell

      Okay+thanks

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Boring game

    1. Jafooli
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Playing hide & seek with yourself?

      1. Piggs Boson
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Nah, frisbee: https://youtu.be/i9DjUs4e2gs

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Could do with a nice 1-1, no hauls.

  17. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Telles not in the squad?

  18. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Chelsea keeping a CS today, sorry for benching you James 😀

  19. Stupendous
    6 years, 17 days ago

    If Pulisic blanks today then Puli and Brewster to Zaha and Bamford seems a no brainier!

  20. Brosstan
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Hard to put into words how much a absolutely loathe the cretin Vicente Guaita..

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 17 days ago

      One rare occasion that I agree with you.

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Why?

    3. ivantys
      6 years, 17 days ago

      I'm considering Guaita to Leno or Mendy, rarely I would use a transfer on a keeper.

    4. George Sillett
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Happiness personified as usual.

      1. Brosstan
        6 years, 17 days ago

        We are like two drops of water slouchy 😉

        1. George Sillett
          6 years, 17 days ago

          Drip drip drip...........

    5. DandyDon
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Just put in the fulham keeper...3pts last 3 games!

    6. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      6 years, 17 days ago

      And there he is

  21. FPL Daniel
    6 years, 17 days ago

    United were absolutely dominating start of the game now there is some balance.

    1. ivantys
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Hardly dominating when they had no shots

  22. Begbie.
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Everything about Bruno is so annoying.

    1. Fred54
      6 years, 17 days ago

      I can't get over the fact he looks Mir Puri,

      (Be amazed if anyone know what I'm talking about..)

  23. The Train Driver
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Probably been said today but Lassina Traore 5 goals and 3 assists today. Oh my!

    1. Begbie.
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Is it just me or does a player called Lassina Traore burst onto the scene every 5 years or so?

      1. how now brown cow
        6 years, 17 days ago

        That was lucina - "the big tree"

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Wish that was a PL match.

      5 goals, 3 assists would have been good for 34 points!

      1. HippY
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Kane doesn't play until Monday

  24. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Ful vs CP was actually very exciting match!

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 17 days ago

      OGS and Frank L can both live with draw?

  25. FPL Daniel
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Can Bruno score 300 pts this year?

    He is at 7 ppg * 36 games = 252, if he plays 38 games its 266 and with some bonus penalties he is going for the 300 no?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 17 days ago

      1 pen per game = 190 points alone.

      1. Das Boot
        6 years, 17 days ago

        lol

    2. FPL Daniel
      6 years, 17 days ago

      If he averages 8ppg * 36 games = 288 and if he plays 38 games we have 304 pts

      1. Das Boot
        6 years, 17 days ago

        So are you actually suggesting that if he gets 2 points one week he will bounce straight back the next week with a 16 point score?

        Behave yersells

        1. Das Boot
          6 years, 17 days ago

          or 14 points even

    3. The Mandalorian
      6 years, 17 days ago

      It's possible

  26. Shark Team
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Bruno offers a great gw9 captain choice but it's just too hard to sell Son even with those fixtures... Do you agree?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Too early to comment

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Son isn't the makeweight. Easy solution. Ditch someone else.

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Dan James and mata as wingers or outside forwards isn’t working

    1. Jafooli
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Ole at the wheel....

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Very surprised to see James starting

        Ole trying to recreate the 4-0 but James just isn’t good enough

        1. Jafooli
          6 years, 17 days ago

          Imagine having Poggerz on the bench and starting James & Mata 😮

        2. Das Boot
          6 years, 17 days ago

          I very much doubt it. United were under the cosh for a good part of that game, 4-0 Flattered them enormously

  28. AzzaroMax99
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Guaita to Martinez is a no-brainer?

    1. Costa in Wengerland
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Yes

      1. AzzaroMax99
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Thx.

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      6 years, 17 days ago

      I'd be tempted with Fabianski

      1. have you seen cyan
        6 years, 17 days ago

        oh yea or Fab, he looks like he might be ok

    3. have you seen cyan
      6 years, 17 days ago

      No, as much as it pains me. Guaita still has decent fixtures and after the Villa show yestrday, im not convinvced Martinez is a good option either. Idk what to do so I guess I stick, or I look for an odd replacement like Lloris or Leno

      1. AzzaroMax99
        6 years, 17 days ago

        But he still had 6 saves.
        3 weeks in a row Guaita can't get more than 2. Awful defending too.

        1. have you seen cyan
          6 years, 17 days ago

          yea idk, im worried I switch to Martinez and then in a few weeks I'll feel the same about him..
          I doubt anyone is having much luck with keepers or defenders at the moment, it is annoying but just not convinvced by anyone at the moment to warrant switching

          If you dont know what to do then stick, is the FPL logic I normally use

    4. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 17 days ago

      I'd use that transfer somewhere else at the moment given both have good fixtures coming up

      1. AzzaroMax99
        6 years, 17 days ago

        I will wait few days anyway, but probably will sell Guaita if no other issues. Have Mitchel also.

    5. Brosstan
      6 years, 17 days ago

      No I hate his guts but never spend a transfer on GK. Made that mistake when I transfered out Pope after a poor run of games last season

  29. ivantys
    6 years, 17 days ago

    James stealing Chilwell's set pieces

    1. Fred54
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Reece James bencher here. No idea what to do with him. I only kept because there wasn't really anyone I wanted this GW.

  30. TomSaints
