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.

    Does Ziyech + Vardy + Podence to Salah + Grealish + Brewster for a -4 make sense?

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Looks good on Friday.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Hahaha! I know what you mean. Have been planning those moves for quite some time now!

  2. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    How does this look for 12?

    Ederson
    Chilwell James Targett
    Salah(c) KDB Bruno Grealish Jota
    DCL Bamford

    Forster Brewster Neco Coufal

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      quite good

    2. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I think this front 8 will be the target for many

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

      V good

    4. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Good but Spurs will be back on the radar in GW14

    5. Squib
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I like it. Although I think there is better value in cheaper keepers.

      I am risking weaker defence and poor bench but have this:

      McCarthy
      James Balbuena Targett
      KDB Salah Bruno Grealish Son
      DCL Bamford

      Brewster CTaylor Mitchell Nyland

  3. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Werner needs to score in the next half otherwise it's curtains

  4. Aidan269
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Own Sterling and Torres. Just Robertson from pool. Torres to Jota for free is a no brainer tonight isn't it?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Before Pool play 2 games?

      1. Aidan269
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Jota might rise tonight so couldn't afford it then. Appreciate you'll be biased with your name

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Not a Pool supporter, certainly a risk.

          1. Aidan269
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            I meant the Torres being in your name part

                I know I know. The OG

        2. Nice to Finally Michu

          🙄

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

    No Jota no problem

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      At least Mo can be the selfish one now ehehe

  6. Sloane426
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Jota out for tomorrow. Bad luck continues.

    1. The Final Boss
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      What??

  7. Begbie.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Jota benched tomorrow, plays midweek, benched next week at Fulham? Stuff of nightmares 😮

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      No need to play in midweek though

      1. Begbie.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Agreed but the usual front 3 if they start tomorrow also won't play midweek so someone's gotta play.

        1. Dirty Harry
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Shaq / Origi / Minamino

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

      Wouldn't be surprised if the entire front three got rested midweek

    3. LSK
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe Klopp is benching them one at a time in the league? Mane last week. Jota this week. Salah to be benched vs Fulham?

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Salah got pulled 64 in Brighton

  8. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Guys ziyech pp 8.0 cp 8.3 sp 8.1, so a drop means my sp would be 8.0m?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      8.1

      1. The Final Boss
        • 8 Years

  9. Aidan269
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Torres to Jota, or Sterling and DCL to Salah and bamford for a - 4?

  10. ZAMUNDA
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Not watching, is ziyech injured? And how bad it is?

    1. Sarri-ball

      Hammy

  11. Sarri-ball
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Ziyach out was always the plan 6.2 to spend

    A) JWP
    B)NETO
    C) BARKLEY (IF FIT)

  12. Dybala10
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Glad that Ziyech injury has given me the excuse to move to Jota.

  13. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Werner is straight out my team if he doesn’t return second half, who would you replace him with?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Same here, Wilson

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Kane

      1. Fudgy
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Im selling Kane...

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          1. Fudgy
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            :mrgreen:

    3. jomikijiq
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Bamford

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      DCL & Bamford are the 2 standout strikers for me atm.

    5. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Bamford

  14. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    This can't happening.I kept Ziyech for this game and now he is injured...Never never lucky in this game.

  15. Budweiser
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Would you do Sterling to KDB if no other fires to put out?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Roll the FT. Keep Sterling for the derby

    2. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

    3. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years

      yes

  16. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Did the top 10k ignore Kdb(c) or wat? I'm on 49 frm 5 already..

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Son + Kane still dominating there probably

    2. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      The top 10k at the start of the GW did ignore him.
      Many of those are no longer up there 🙂

  17. mojoindojo
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    DCL or Bamford?

    1. jomikijiq
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Bamford has better fixtures now

  18. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    That FPL_bond guy needs to be banned. Not fair releasing team news a day early like that. Same happened 2/3 years ago with Anfield express

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Bit harsh calling for a ban

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Millennials need to learn that Twitter is not factual

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        He has got the team news right 3 times in a row.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Wrong GK?

          1. Qaiss
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            No one would have predicted Minamino, Phillips and Williams for Brighton away correctly.

  19. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Jrod Ziyech out worked better than what I thought

  20. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Werner & Grealish > Bamford & Fernandes? Thoughts?

  21. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Where was the triple up article before I WCd ziyech Werner and triple Villa in?

  22. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    anyone else getting in TAA for Fulham, assuming he is ok

  23. Fudgy
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    😆

  24. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Early thoughts on Kane&Ziyech to Bamford&Salah-4?

  25. Disco Stu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Ziyech >

    A. Jota

    or

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Grealish

      1. Disco Stu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Or Ziyech and Vardy > Salah and Bamford for a -4?

        1. jomikijiq
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I'm looking at the same moves currently

    2. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      B if you can stomach wishing such a douche to do well

      1. Disco Stu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I have plenty of them on my team. He would fit right in.

    Chilwell goal in second half and top 100K here we come. Come ooooon Chilly

    1. Fudgy

      He looks so hungry

  28. Ronnies
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Worth a -4 ?

    Cancelo, Brewster > Targett, Bamford.

    Thanks.

  29. Silecro

    So...Mahrez owners, are we keeping him going forward?

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Haha no. Salah in

    2. Disco Stu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Have to now because I have to replace Ziyech

    3. jomikijiq
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, for the next 4 at least

  30. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Ziyech and DCL to Grealish and Giroud for a hit?

    1. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Why the need for a hit? Can't you just go Ziyech to Grealish and wait a week to see if Giroud plays again.
