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.

      1. Black Knights
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        No-one has an EO of more than 90% this week so you’ll gain if you own.

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          Cool. Good to know. It’s all very techno confusing:)

      Holy trinity off to a great start. Just Salah left now.

      1. Flair
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Rumours are that he'll be benched. That would be absolutely gutting but very possible.

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          Bruno was benched remember? 😆

        2. MagicMessi
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          Where did you hear that?

          1. Black Knights
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 14 days ago

            A local correspondent with the Times. RetweetEd by a few LFC fan tweets.

        3. DGW Sane TC Fail....
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          i think i would take a benching to make him nailed for Fulham.

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

              • 5 Years
              5 years, 14 days ago

        • 9 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        1. JBG
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          Hope so

        2. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          Cancello was the pits! Be lucky if he plays a game again. Good move regardless

      7. Salarrivederci
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Looks like a green arrow despite Bowen & Cresswell right?

        (K(DB, Fernandes, Bowen, Cresswell

        Yet to play:

        McCarthy, Chilwell, Lamptey, Robertson, Son, Bamford & Vardy

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          1. Salarrivederci
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 14 days ago

      8. Ronny Sandstone
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Who scores better for the rest of the season...

        Cheers.

        1. Nice to Finally Michu

            • 11 Years
            5 years, 14 days ago

            • 9 Years
            5 years, 14 days ago

        1. Rainer

          1. Amey
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 14 days ago

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          Small chance, but looks final

      11. It's Fergie Time
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        United 2pts from top of the table, Ole is a genius

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          Said no one. Ever

          1. Zimo
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 14 days ago

            But he just did so you're wrong

            1. RAFA THE GAFFA
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 14 days ago

              He did become a genius? Ah ok, I must have missed that

      12. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        James - CHECK
        Chilwell - CHECK
        Ziyech - CHECK

        6 points locked 😎

        1. DGW Sane TC Fail....
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          where's the positivity 🙂

        2. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          Chilwell, James, and Bamford in this one.

          It will have to be some serious points dodging not to get at least one return here...

        3. Botman and Robben
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          2
          2

          I count 5.

            • 10 Years
            5 years, 14 days ago

            Make it 4:
            1
            1
            2

      13. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Bidenesq performance from Bruno really.

        1. HashAttack
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          At least Bruno actually got onto the pitch ... 3 BAPS for hiding in the basement would have been unbelievable

          1. Ógie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 14 days ago

            Both reported to have leg injury's too.

            Who knows fpl towers could overturn it yet. 😉

      14. F4L
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        That's a very attacking line up from Chelsea, will be goals in this.

      15. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Mendy Dallas and bam in this one, do or die for the game week!

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          Dallas, Bamford, James, Ziyech!

      16. jason_ni
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Finally a good gw, 47 fom 4, zouma and James up next, benched bamford, so knowing my luck, he's due a brace to wipe out the double che cs!

        1. Utopsis
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          Great point scoring - which 4? KDB(C), Soucek(?), Sterling and?

          1. jason_ni
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 14 days ago

            Kdb capt, cancelo, Bruno, DCL.

            Cancelo was a relief to see him start!

            1. Utopsis
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 14 days ago

              Nice - smashed it!

        2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          KDB (C), Bruno, DCL & Dias?

      17. HippY
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Ughhh, it's just occured to me my midfield is going to be the definition of template next week after Hamez to Grealish.

        Salah KDB Jota Bruno Grealish - it feels like a differential is required. Anyone else other than Grealish who's nailed on with good fixtures?

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          That's not template. Most don't have all of the big 3.

        2. ClassiX
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          JWP?

        3. jason_ni
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          Grealish will be essential with the 2 double gws coming up.

        4. GENERATION X
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          Template for a reason

          1. HippY
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 14 days ago

            I guess so! Really wanted Hamez to return today as I still think he could perform well in FPL despite the upcoming fixtures. Grealish fixtures are just too good to ignore though

        5. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          This IS differential

        6. Zimo
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          Isn't template Salah KDB Bruno Son Grealish?

        7. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          I will have Salah Sterling Bruno Son Grealish. Sterling the differential!

        8. My heart goes Salalalalah
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          Son might upset the trend

          1. HippY
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 14 days ago

            I had both Son and Kane and enjoyed every minute of it. I've ditched them both and not regretted it at all....yet

      18. Wirtzle Gummidge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Cheers for the parting gift Rashford but you're out for Salah.

        Holy trinity here we go

      19. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        DCL and Hamez to Giroud and Jota done!

      20. Flair
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        Will Leeds score? No idea

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          2 at least 😛

        2. Zimo
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

      21. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        44(-8). 7 players to go. Let's do this!

        1. HippY
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          Congratulations!

          49(-4) with 6 to go, feels good doesn't it! 😀

          1. Zimo

        Might just Captain Bruno for the rest of the season. He’s going to break all the records isn’t he

        1. Zimo
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          Sure but Salah next week

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 14 days ago

            True. After that then 🙂

      23. Nightcrawler

        5 years, 14 days ago

        41 from 3. Nice start

        Chilly zouma bamford next. Very little chance that theyll all fail

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          Insane start!

          KDB (C) Bruno and DCL?

          Same for me but Cancelo instead of Bruno. Same 3 in the Chelsea game too after doing Wilson > Bamford this week. Not sure what outcome I want here ...

      24. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        34 from 4, captain to play. Very pleased!

          who's your cap?

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 14 days ago

            Who do you think 😉

            If no show then Sterling

            1. Chucky
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 14 days ago

              kane again 😯 should have gone with the crowd this week...

              1. Scapegoat Salah
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 14 days ago

                If I knew for sure he’d start I would have capped Sterling, don’t own KdB

        2. Botman and Robben
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago

          You capped yourself?

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 14 days ago

            Correct, I think he either starts or no shows

      25. Utopsis
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 14 days ago

        What was I thinking playing Cresswell over Soucek? 🙁

      26. Rolls-Royce

        5 years, 14 days ago

        Was Werner being deployed at center back in previous games? 🙄

        1. JBG
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 14 days ago
