Timo Werner (£9.5m) is back in the Chelsea line-up following his midweek rest in the Champions League.

The former RB Leipzig forward is deployed on the left-hand side of the attack again, this time supporting Olivier Giroud (£6.7m) who found the net four times against Sevilla.

That sees Tammy Abraham (£7.2m) drop to the bench while Hakim Ziyech (£8.3m) provides width on the other flank.

Kai Havertz (£8.3m) and Mason Mount (£6.8m) are in central midfield with N’Golo Kanté (£4.9m) while the back-four lines up as we have come to expect on Chelsea’s recent run of three clean sheets in four.

Ben Chilwell (£6.2m) and Reece James (£5.2m) are the left and right full-back respectively, stationed either side of Kurt Zouma (£5.6m) and Thiago Silva (£5.5m).

Leeds are as we would expect them as well. Marcelo Bielsa has gone with a 4-1-4-1 formation once again with what looks like Stuart Dallas (£4.5m) in a central midfield role and Ezgjan Alioski (£4.4m) at left-back, considering wingers Jack Harrison (£5.5m) and Raphinha (£5.4m) are both in the starting line-up.

Chelsea XI (4-2-3-1): E Mendy; Chilwell, T Silva, Zouma, R James; Mount, Kanté, Havertz; Werner, Giroud, Ziyech.

Leeds United XI (4-1-4-1): Meslier; Alioski, Cooper, Koch, Ayling; Phillips; Harrison, Dallas, Klich, Raphinha; Bamford.

    Need a Salah brace tomorrow and a benching against Fulham just to throw a little chaos in to these sweet swapping premiums strategy.

    Anyone doing hockey-cockey with Salah and KDB? Switching them out and in for the next 2?

    1. CBonci

      I am considering it

      I’m worried about a KDB benching for West Brom annoyingly

      Find a way to have both

        No way to have both in my team. Happy with Jota, Fernandes, De Bruyne and Grealish in a 3-4-3 and impossible to make a 5 man midfield - I'm considering doing the move after making the funds last week for it.

      Need both imo

      Was about to and then Ziyech went doon.

    Ziyech to Jota a lock in? Have Salah.

      Pulisic a better differential.

    Hi all

    Not really a blockbuster move but

    Lamptey > Dallas 1FT?

    Yay or Nay?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Lord no . . why on Earth??

    2. St Pauli Walnuts

      Nah, I have Lamptey and am looking to have Dallas too

    I didn't watch the match tonight but how did Fernandes get 3 bps with a single assist and 45 minutes played in a 3-1 win? Did he create a lot of chances?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Nobody has any idea how the bonus system works any more. He was on the field in the second half and did get an assist.

    2. Klaren
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Sorry 2 bonus apparently, not 3 but still, 31 bps does seem quite high.

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Apparently he created the most open play chances in a 90minute match this year in just 45 minutes so i guess that's why.

        1. Klaren
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          I see, thanks!

    3. Zimo
      • 7 Years

      He has 2 now
