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.

    Worth still holding onto Ziyech? Will he be out for long or should I ship out?

      I'm selling for Salah next week, although it would require a hit or two to shift him xD

  3. Aidan269

    My masterclass free hit back three of Zouma, Chilwell and James has been a masterstroke

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

      Why would u do a free hit and get players facing leeds

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

        Had only 9 playing and nobody in my mini league had more than one Chelsea defender. Went for differentials to catchup

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

          negative differential to lose more 🙁

  4. Right In The Stanchion
    • 6 Years

    Werner > Bamford easiest transfer of the season.

  5. Captain Vantastic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Jota not starting then?

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years

      Hmm isn't match tomorrow?

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6. Party time
        5 years, 4 months ago

        He could still haul from the bench so it isn’t a big deal

      • Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Good option for next week if so

      • Fudgy
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        he will start surely

      • dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Why?

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

      At least LR didn't captain Werner again. I'm sure he was very tempted this week

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

        Who dis he captain? KDB?

    8. Lord of Ings
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Jota out for tomorrow? Sources? Also
      Sell ziyech for:-
      1)Jota
      2) grealish
      P.s:- have no pool cover.

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

        Don't worry about Jota, can score off the bench.
        Grealish

      transfers next week are tricky

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

        Not if you have Ziyech

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Or Foden. Or Werner. Mine have never been easier tbh.

    11. Champions League Varane
      • 7 Years

            1. Party time

            3. EmreCan Hustle
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              I'm doing Bowen to Salah.

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

                Pity Bowen didn’t get anything today. So dangerous in the first half.

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

              Sterling to salah and keeping kdb

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

              No Ziyech to Salah and having both

            6. Revival
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              That's my plan

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

              No. Ziyech to Salah to have this midfield:

              Salah Sterling Bruno Son Grealish

              1. Botman and Robben
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Dream midfield.

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

                  Hope it produces some green arrows. Will have 0.4 ITB to upgrade Sterling to KDB if needed.

                  That’s been my midfield for a while

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

            Bruno 45mins 1 assist and on for 3bp what the...

            Ways to get Salah (ful) next week:
            A. KDB > Salah FT
            B. Werner Vardy Burke > Salah Bamford Watkins/Adams -8
            C. Go without Salah and roll FT, have Jota

              • 12 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              probably Bruno

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

              Bruno for me

            6. 1zverGGadeM

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years

              Bruno at home KDB away ... which stats better? That's what I will go, no other reasons strong enough

            8. Revival
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              KDB - big game player. Just look at his record vs other so called big 6 sides

            9. Rinseboy
              • 14 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

            3 - Giroud (27)
            2 - Bamford (26)
            1 - Phillips (22)

            I have just enough money to get Jota and Wilson for -4 (James Rodriguez and Brewster out). Shall I do it today? Is Newcastle's game taking place next gw? Jota won't rise until Monday?

              A truly iconic film. Great performances Martin and Candy and a very subtle laugh a minute. Cheesey yank ending though. 😉

            Is any of below options worth -4?

            A. Ziyech + Son => Salah + Souček
            B. Ziyech + Vardy => Salah + Watkins/Bamford

            1. Botman and Robben

              I'll do B with Bamford unless something unexpected happens this week (have Watkins too)

                • 8 Years

            B) Son, Hamez to Salah + any mid below 7.6

              rightly so, Chelsea scored 6 goals from corners in just 10 games

                Would have been nice if they were on corners as well tho

            Any idea if Jota is out completely or just benched?

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

              No one knows. Its all speculation

                just a twitter rumour that he's benched. hardly suprising if he was.

                  Yeah it wouldn't be a shock. But I'd like for it not to happen.
