Ziyech’s FPL ownership and price on the rise as new-look Chelsea find their rhythm

Chelsea 4-1 Sheffield United

  • Goals: Tammy Abraham (£7.2m), Ben Chilwell (£6.0m), Thiago Silva (£5.5m), Timo Werner (£9.4m) | David McGoldrick (£5.3m)
  • Assists: Hakim Ziyech (£8.1m) x2, Mateo Kovacic (£5.3m), N’Golo Kante (£4.9m) | Sander Berge (£5.0m)
  • Bonus: Ziyech x3, Abraham x2, Werner x1

Chelsea came from behind to beat Sheffield United with a performance that ticked many a Fantasy box.

All four of the home side’s goals involved summer signings and the victory underlined the impression that coach Frank Lampard is finally finding the right balance in his team, from Abraham to Ziyech.

Double Bubble

One of Lampard’s key moves has been to find room for both Tammy Abraham (£7.2m) and Timo Werner (£9.4m) in the starting XI.

Saturday’s result meant Chelsea have won three games and drawn one, scoring 14 goals and conceding four, when the duo start together in the league.

Lampard talked about the pair after the midweek win over Rennes in the Champions League in which they also both started (and scored):

When we brought in players in attacking areas we brought in players who are versatile in their nature, Timo playing on the left for instance. The qualities Tammy can bring to the team are never lost on me.

Werner’s ownership has been yo-yoing this season, with the trend upward at present. He’s now in 23.6% of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) squads, with 25,000+ new managers buying into him ahead of the international break.

The 2.2%-owned Abraham remains the differential pick of the two, which is hardly surprising when he’s started just the four games to Werner’s eight in the league this season. But he’s produced  two goals and two assists from those matches.

And the pair’s threat is so strong that Lampard could be tempted to view them both, and not just Werner, as nailed-on starters.

Midfield Merriment

Maximum bonus points and a double-digit haul went to Hakim Ziyech (£8.1m) – for the second straight Gameweek.

He’s now amassed 25 points from his first two starts in the league and his ownership is ballooning.

He went from 114,819 to 624,213 FPL managers on the strength of his goal and assist against Burnley in Gameweek 7 and he’s already top of the transfers in for Gameweek 9 thanks to his brace of assists against Sheffield United.

Small wonder that Lampard was gushing in his post-match praise:

He exudes confidences in how much he wants to receive the ball and be the important player. He also has great work ethic so he is a complete player. He’s been a big plus and I expect there is a lot more to come from him.

It’s only been two full games, but there’s a strong sense that it is Ziyech, and not the self-isolating Kai Havertz (£8.3m), who could be the key player when it comes to Lampard finding the right balance in his team:

The balance of the team felt great. There were so many good things in what we were creating, we scored two goals from set pieces. I don’t want to get too carried away but I’m happy.

Not getting carried away should be the theme for FPL bosses as well because Chelsea’s next six matches are probably not as easy as they might appear on FPL’s Fixture Difficulty Rating.

A Gameweek 10 visit from Spurs and games against an obdurate Wolves and this season’s surprise package West Ham all look tricky, but Ziyech is making an incredibly strong case for inclusion anyway.

Defenders On The Attack

The second most-bought defender ahead of Gameweek 8 was Chilwell, who scored his second goal in three home matches.

That appeased the 324,298 new owners who were hoping for a fourth clean sheet in the last five league fixtures from Chelsea.

Considerably fewer managers enjoyed Thiago Silva‘s (£5.5m) first attacking return for the Blues, but those goals underlined the potency of Lampard’s defenders.

The most popular defensive transfer for the Gameweek was Kurt Zouma (£5.3m), who was brought in by more than half a million managers on the back of the Blues’ new-found defensive stability and the centre-half’s three goals this season.

Thanks to Silva’s strike, all four of Lampard’s regular backline have now scored.

Zouma leads the way for goals among defenders and Chilwell is second (he also has two assists), while Reece James (£5.0m) is the other to have found the net, with an assist to his name from his six starts as well.

Small wonder that three of that back four are now in the top 10 for both points and ownership among FPL defenders, with Thiago (3.1%) the only outlier (and differential).

Sheffield Of Bad Dreams

One point from eight matches, just four goals scored and zero clean sheets kept, the Blades are the bluntest of weapons at the moment.

Manager Chris Wilder was as honest as ever with his assessment of his team:

At times my teams are naive. It’s irrelevant. We have given away some poor goals. I think we have to look at ourselves.

It’s fair to say few Fantasy managers are looking at his players.

David McGoldrick‘s (£5.3m) second strike of the season meant he’s now been involved in half of the side’s goals.

But his strike partner, and the Blades’ most popular asset in FPL, Rhian Brewster (£4.5m and 6.7%), had a wretched time of it at Stamford Bridge.

Brewster’s undoubted promise, and cheap price tag, has persuaded a decent chunk of FPL managers to have him as their third striker.

Based on his complete non-involvement on Saturday, even at £4.5m he’s a waste of money.

As for the Blades as a team, the 431 shots they conceded last season was bettered by only seven teams. This year’s total – 120 – is the league’s second worst.

Never a team to create many chances, unless they can sort out their defensive issues, their players will remain a major Fantasy no-no.


Chelsea XI (4-3-2-1): Mendy; James, Zouma, Silva, Chilwell; Kante, Kovacic (Jorginho 71′), Mount; Werner (Giroud 87′), Ziyech; Abraham. 

Sheffield United XI (4-4-2): Ramsdale; Baldock, Stevens, Basham, Egan; Lundstram, Berge, Lowe, Norwood (Osborn 62′); McGoldrick, Brewster (McBurnie 63′).

    The goalkeeper Arsenal sold to Villa during the transfer window now has more Premier League clean sheets at the Emirates this season (1) than the entire Arsenal defence between them.

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Is anyone sticking with Jrod for next few fixtures? Already own DCL, wondering if I should jump to Ziyech (no attacking Chelsea coverage).

    Too many Villa players already or I would go to Grealish, need a few weeks to reshuffle.

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'm in a similar situation. Need to reshuffle my team. Too much money in defence.

    2. GAMBIT
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd give him Fulham at least and then judge after that

    3. Ginola
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’m in the same boat. Think it makes no sense to get rid before ful and LEE, especially now they’re at full strenghth again.

    4. The Mantis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah I'm sticking for the next GW, don't want to take a hit to take him out

    5. stu92
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks guys, think I’ll hold for another week.

    Martinez
    Robertson Chilwell Dallas
    Salah Son JamesR Grealish Foden
    DCL Kane

    Forster Saiss Brewster Ferguson

    2 FT, 0.0 itb

    What to do with my 2FT?? Or maybe just use 1FT and roll the other one for now ?

    1. Chelsea91
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Saiss and Foden out?

    2. stu92
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Certainly Saiss out, too expensive to be sitting on the bench. You could go down to a Targett/4.5 and use the spare cash to upgrade Foden or go James>Ziyech (although I’d hold for another week or two on that one)

  4. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Think I'm settled on this WC team.

    Martinez Steer
    PvA Lamptey Taylor
    KdB Salah Bruno Berge
    Vardy Richarlison Watkins
    Soucek Justin Lewis

    Rip it apart?

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Got to have chilwell on wc in my opinion

      Don’t like the berge

      Only 2 issues for me

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Berge rotates well with Soucek & Lewis.

      2. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Why? Have you seen Chelsea’s fixtures over the next few months?

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Use Brighton’s sub keeper in case you want Grealish at some point

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks!

    3. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I like it actually, though I'm also on WC and have a completely different team currently.

      Martinez
      Dias, Cancelo, James
      Salah, KDB, Ziyech, Grealish, Jota
      Werner, DCL

      4.0, Lamptey, Kilman, Brewster

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Too many double ups

        1. jomikijiq
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          It doesn't matter at all for me, as we should consider every pick individually

          i.e.
          do I think Salah is a good option? yes
          do I think Jota is a good option? yes

          so there's no reason not to have both

          1. Slitherene
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            City Double up?

            1. jomikijiq
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              It's the same really.
              Both are just better options than others at that price - Maguire, Bellerin, Semedo, Cresswell, whoever.

  5. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    A. Play Foden
    B. Foden to Ziyech or Rashford for a hit?

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Similar boat, foden looks to have lost guardiola’s trust for now.

      Ziyech feels the better long term pick, rashford gives you a potential captain

    2. Red Dog
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Ziyech seems worth a -4
      Rushford apparent shoulder injury, as with all moves wait for IB

    3. Old Gregg
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I have foden. It's time to ship. But you know he'll start the next game

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        And then all the nice fixtures

  6. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    So Townsend and Jimenez have fallen in price for me overnight? Sell now or risk another price drop? How likely is the latter?

  7. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on plan below:

    Son to Bruno as a one week punt, followed by Reguilon Bruno Kane to Cancelo KDB Vardy -4 the week after?

    2FTs, 1.6ITB

    Martinez
    Robo/Reguilon/Chilwell
    Salah/Son/Hamez/Grealish
    Kane/DCL/Bamford

    Martin/Kilman/Mitchell/Stephens

    1. Old Gregg
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      decent moves.

      literally one week punt on Bruno. No plan to keep longer

      1. Old Gregg
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I forgot the?. thinking what to do myself. Bruno/Kdb

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Keep Bruno, he's incredible and amazing away from home

  8. No Professionals
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    There should be a number of questions and replies ticker next to everyone’s name on here, so that you can target helping those that help others.

    Bugs me the number of people who ask questions but you never see reply to others.

  9. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Have this team with 2.6 ITB.

    Martinez Steere
    James Dallas Lamotey Coufal Mitchell
    Salah Sterling Son Foden Podence
    DCL Martial Bamford

    Where should I use the FT and cash:

    1) Son to Bruno in GW9 and Martial to Vardy in GW10
    2) Podence/ Foden to Ziyech
    3) Foden to Grealish in GW9 and Martial to Vardy in GW10
    4) Foden to Soucek and Bamford to Vardy

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      2 looks like the best upgrade

  10. Le Bluff
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    On wildcard, and Watkins + 1.4m or Grealish looks to be a difficult decision?

    Grealish the better player and FPL asset, but that 1.4m goes a long way.

    Essentially what I'm looking at is:

    A) Antonio (if fit) and Grealish
    B) Watkins and Ziyech

    I think most will say B because of this weekend's scoring. Thoughts?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A by a long way

      1. Le Bluff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not sold on Watkins and Ziyech?

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I’ve got both on WC but would rather Grealish if I had to choose one. Antonio better than Watkins imo

    2. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think both grealish and ziyech is worth having in a wildcard team

      1. Le Bluff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        But how do you fit them in alongisde KDB/Salah/Bruno etc?

        3-5-2 not an option for me either because of the value up top.

        1. drughi
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          well if you are set on having all those big hitters its tough but I would leave on of them out as grealish and ziyech present great value and you can have werner and kane up top or vardy for example

        2. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          What’s your front line look like?

          1. Le Bluff
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Current draft is this:

            McCarthy / 4.0
            Chilwell / R James / Cancelo / J Lewis / Kilman
            Bruno / Salah / KDB / Grealish / 4.4
            DCL / Bamford / Antonio

            1. Pukki Blinders
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Think that defence will cause you major problems with rotation etc. Dont like Chelsea defence double up beyond this week also

              1. Le Bluff
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Yeah I'm not sold on it yet either. Hard to know what defenders to go for! I don't mind the double-up because of how attacking James looks, but I could easily change my mind on that.

    3. Karan14
      • 7 Years

      A

      1. Le Bluff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks, Karan. Interested to get your thoughts as to why? Something is holding me back from Ziyech - whether it's rotation during Chelsea's busy schedule, or that he might be a 'assisting the assister' type of player

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Grealish is definitely the man to own from Villa. Antonio I like over Watkins because he's more of a talisman for West Ham and confirmed on pens.

          Ziyech looks a great option too imo. Creating a lot of big chances and I disagree he will be assisting the assister as most of the chances he creates are pretty direct in the box.
          He will get some goals from outside the box too and he's slowly taking over all set pieces.

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It's not a difficult decision.

      Get Grealish. And then if the team allows/you need a cheap striker slot, pick up Watkins.

  11. drughi

    Thought arsenal were looking more solid at the back so brought in bellerin and then 0-3 lol, play ayling or bellerin next gameweek ?

      I dont think moving Rash out before a nice fixture run is a great idea, move to Bruno seems a little sideways

    The last two times I've sold Son he's gone BIG! Most recently I sold him for Bruno GW2 and we know what happened next. I'm thinking of the same transfer again?

    Son > Bruno?

    Martinez
    Lamptey KWP Coufal
    Salah Son* Grealish Zaha
    Kane Vardy DCL
    Steer Justin Stephens Mitchell

      Makes sense, but that might not pay off in points :/

    On my WC. Do people think Mitchell will keep starting place when fit again?

    1. Chelsea91
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      no

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No

    When is best to wildcard if still have?

    Happy with midfield and attack, defence is:

    Mcarthy Button
    Mings TAA James KWP Mitchell

    Would you wildcard to improve that have 1.2 ITB

    1. No Professionals

      No chance

      If you’re happy with mid n attack I’d save a bit longer

    Already missing football :sobs:

    Ngl, pretty close to packing it in:

    Martinez
    Robertson*, Chilwell, Lamptey, Saiss**, Mitchell**
    Salah, Son, Grealish, Foden***, Podence ***
    Werner, Jiminez*, Brewster

    * = waste of money
    ** = dropped
    *** = worst fpl options ever - what were you thinking?!

    2FT and 2m itb.

    Taken the Jimi drop now, may as well give him Soton at home. But at a complete loss over what to do here.

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Foden to Ziyech and Saiss to Coufal

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Southampton look quite solid and Jiminez not know for hauling - given what you have in the bank, why not look to downgrade Jimi to a 6m-7m and upgrade one of Foden/Podence?

    Frustrating season. Hovering around 2m when top of my cash league is the type who plays bench boost with only 2 fit players. Wildcarding:

    Martinez (steer)
    Coufal, Kilman, Cancelo, Justin, Mitchell,
    Salah, KDB, Bruno, Ziyech, Soucek
    Jesus, DCL (Brewster)

  26. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

    Podence to Ziyech gives me this. Looks ok?
    Or should I do Son to Bruno in GW9 and Martial to Vardy in GW10?

    Martinez Steere
    James Lamptey Coufal Dallas Mitchell
    Salah Sterling Son Ziyech Foden
    DCL Bamford Martial

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Ah another Podence/Foden sucker. How are you holding up?

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Really bad. Have been losing rank ever since that dynamic duo came into my team!

        1. Booked4Dissent
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I just got rid of both on wildcard. I can accept the rotation, but not when I have no bench

  27. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years

    Which moves seem better?

    A. Robbo son > vestegaard kdb
    B. Kane son > kdb Watkins

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

  28. fpork

    Got 2FT. Would you consider Son->Fernandes this GWand Fernandes->KDB next GW? Or should I do Son->KDB directly and have extra room for transfers going forward?

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I doubt you're going to want to shift Bruno after a week!

      Straight to KdB if you're set on him

      1. fpork
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Honestly, I think he may blank several games going forward, and especially a game like WBA where everyone expects him to explode.

    2. MARVELLUS
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I am thinking the exact thing. But might do the Bruno thing and captain him for one week then sell. I don't normally like doing transfers for one week though.....

      1. MARVELLUS
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        The extra thing for me is I will do Robbo to a City defender to afford it, and prefer having Robbo this week.

  29. Mr. O'Connell

    To any sucker who has held foden since week 3. He will obv be benched for the spurs game, but then theres 2 juicy fixtures to follow. Havent we been punished enough? 2 hauls around the corner?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      2 hauls or 2 benchings take your guess

    2. Camzy

      This is assuming he even gets in the team. City are cruising in the CL now. They will field their strongest XI in the league and it looks like Torres has won that slot. Mahrez is also an option. There is odd rotation risk and then there's not in favor. The former is okay with high potential, the latter is not.

    A) Son and kane - KDB and vardy
    B) son and R.James - KDB and coufal
    C) Kane and Bissouma - KDB and brewster
    C) son, Kane, bissouma - KDB, grealish, Antonio
    D) WC - more aggressive, lose James, Ayling, Mitchell Son, Kane

    Mccarthy button
    Chilwell James ayling Taylor mitchell
    Mané Bruno son soucek bissouma
    DCL Kane Bamford
