Dugout Discussion

Kane aiming to extend eight-game run without a blank as Rodon starts in defence

Perhaps the most eagerly anticipated fixture of the weekend sees Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur clash at Stamford Bridge.

Kick-off in west London is at 16:30 GMT.

There are no real surprises in terms of team news, with both managers making just one change apiece from the sides they sent out in Gameweek 9.

Frank Lampard’s sole alteration was widely anticipated, with Thiago Silva (£5.5m) replacing Antonio Rudiger (£4.5m) at the heart of the Blues’ defence.

The fit-again Christian Pulisic (£8.2m) is back among the substitutes, alongside Kai Havertz (£8.3m).

Jose Mourinho’s only tweak to his line-up was an enforced one and also comes at centre-half, with Toby Alderweireld (£5.4m) ruled out with a groin problem.

Premier League rookie Joe Rodon (£5.0m) gets the nod over Davinson Sanchez (£5.3m) to partner Eric Dier (£4.9m).

There is plenty of interest in this one from a Fantasy Premier League perspective, with Harry Kane (£10.9m) and Son Heung-min (£9.5m) the second and third most-owned players in the game.

Five of Chelsea’s starting XI, including three of their back four, also boast double-digit ownerships, with Ben Chilwell (£6.1m) the most popular option among that quintet.

Kane was, in fact, the most-sold forward of Gameweek 10, with just over 200,000 Fantasy managers offloading the England international despite his impressive run of form: not since the opening weekend has the Spurs striker blanked.

Chelsea XI: Mendy, James, Zouma, Thiago Silva, Chilwell, Kante, Kovacic, Mount, Ziyech, Abraham, Werner.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Aurier, Rodon, Dier, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele, Bergwijn, Son, Kane.

    Ziyech looks off today

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years

      Looks off from my team today also...

      Shame, he tore Spurs to bits for Ajax in the Champs League...

    Giroud would have done better with those crosses into the box.

  3. DAZZ

    Ziyech has not been good on the eye.

    Absolutely fuming that the Scout Picks lured me into the garbage pick Ziyech last week. Im never again reading that dross article made up of the opinions of the likes of David Munday and other """"""""""""pros""""""""""". Shame on me for not realizing this earlier and falling for a horrible recommendation.

      You read that and go off scout picks and you’re not a casual?

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I usually never do it, I had too much to drink and made an awful friday night transfer. A massive mistake like Im saying and yes, a rare casual move which is why Im so mad.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Ahh ok, easily done

    2. Pukkipartyy

      Is he been so poor? Some games he is just too good.

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Pick your own team ftw.

    4. WVA
      • 7 Years

      Haha the sooner people realise this game is now 100% luck the better

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

        this and just enjoy

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

        Picking Ziyech is just awful, nothing to do with bad luck.

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

          Why did you pick him then! To be fair he looked a decent pick when he was in everything

          1. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Because I was hoodwinked by the massive hype for him on here topped off with glowing review in the scout picks article.

            1. ragonian
              • 10 Years

              You do know nobody knows the result of a match before it’s played right?

      Make your own decisions

      Stop whining about Ziyech. It's all I see you post about. He's easy to remove.

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Im whining to counterweight all the shite advice you get on here from people who rate him for some reason

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

    Poor Giroud

  6. seanie3
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Can take another -12 and get this team:

    Martinez

    James - Chilwell - Ayling (Lamptey, Dunne)

    KDB - Salah - Fernandes - Jota (Bissouma)

    Vardy - Watkins - Brewster

    So silly yet so tempting.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Will be kinda similar to mine for a -8

      Martinez
      James - 4.6 Def - Chillwell
      Soucek - KDB - Bruno - Son - Salah
      Bamford - Vardy

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

      No moves are worth -12

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not if you look only one gmwk

      2. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Disagree mate, can work out very well long term.

    3. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bamford over Brewster*

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  24. JBG
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This will end 0-0 won't it? Lampard learning how to play against top 6 opponents from Mourinho.

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No it won't. I have triple Che def. They will concede.

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

      I wouldnt be surprised, but can see a 1-0 Chelsea win

  25. seanie3
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

  26. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Two absolute non YC fouls from James and ziyech

  27. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ziyech being frustrating!

    Plan to drop him GW12 anyway.

    Meh

  28. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years

    Chilwell on for full baps.

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

      hi5

  29. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ndombele's ability to get out of tight spaces is amazing.

  30. NULL-X-VOID
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    the ref wants to see the FPL world burn.

    But tbh this ref is obviously biased.
