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.

    Zouma grab one more my son

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Aye!

  2. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Chelsea may play with 10 men

  3. Bushwhacker
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Think what Bielsa could do with the United squad . . . .

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Omg sack Ole now

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Should've never been appointed. But long as Woodward keeps paying the officials he'll be OK.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Might have to sell a few of the squad if he wants the effort some Leeds ayers out in.

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Leeds vs Man Utd in GW14 will be tasty

    4. Alexis Nonsense
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I've always wondered why this great manager never get picked up by a big club

      He clearly deserves a shot at a big title

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        65 now

  4. Nas

    5 years, 3 months ago

    How do I still not have a Chelsea defender? Watching their games is a mini torture without one of them. Solid defensively and offensively. Unfortunately I don’t have a free transfer to use on a defender in the next couple of weeks either

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      You did see they conceded almost straight off the bat right?

      1. Nas
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Doesn’t matter. This is the most contained I’ve seen Leeds this season. For once bamford didn’t have a hatful of chances to waste. Mendy barely had any saves to make. This defense is solid. And full backs on some set pieces, always bombimg forwards, zouma on corners...

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

    If Dias had scored today life would have been easier

  6. Davros
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Happy with my Kane+ziyech to Bamford + KDB so far. Wish I’d done it sooner

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      So far . . .

  7. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Robbo, Ziyech, Richarlison -> Dallas, Salah, Wilson

    For a hit?

    1. Davros
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Robbo ahead of Fulham?
      Dallas will rise tonight

      1. Slitherene
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Salah vs Fulham more important, no?

  8. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    3 - Zouma, Bamford (30)
    1 - Phillips (28)

    1. dark91
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Zouma to get winning goal bonus and clinch those 3 points alone?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Already counted.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Hope Bamford keeps the 3.

    3. Ode
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Please hold

    4. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I would love this

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Would actually mean four of my five players got max baps tonight.

        1. Boss Hogg
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Max Baps is my pornstar name.

          1. sminkypinky
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Bu dum tshh!

    5. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Bamford gets three because he's only touched the ball once?

  9. Simon69
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Vardy, Hamez, Stephens > Salah, Jota, Brewster worth a -8? Move to 3-5-2

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Jota not nailed on

      1. Chalobah's Witness
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Jota nailed as hell!

        1. Chenku╰☆╮
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          He is benched for tomorrow

          1. Simon69
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Leaked 11?

            1. Chenku╰☆╮
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Yes

          2. Bushwhacker
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Eh? He was pulled off on 68 minutes midweek . . .

      2. Simon69
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Can't see Klopp dropping him tbh.

        1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          We will see. Don't think they can all 4 (Salah, Mane, Firmino, Jota) at the same time all the time.
          Out of those 4 Jota is the most junior. When all are fit, he will get least minutes in my opinion.

          1. Simon69
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Still when he's scoring so consistently its hard to see him being dropped vs Fulham.

  10. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Rodrigo is a decent player

  11. dark91
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Leeds are such a treat to watch. It is a shame the results are not in their favour most of the time though

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Manager and tactics >>>>>>> quality of players

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        False.

        A manager can add up to 15% to a team.

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Not 16%?

  12. Flair
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Two more saves and I break even on Martinez -> Meslier, did not expect that one!

  13. Gudjohnsen

    Average?

    dallas has been useless tonight

  15. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Great defending by James. TAA would never do that.

    1. Flair
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      TAA is a perfectly fine defender.

    2. Begbie.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      You can tell Chelsea fans are jealous of TAA. They never stop talking about him.

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        He’s a winger not a fullback

  16. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    this Chelsea defence is quality, they've kept Leeds very quiet

  17. Hect.OR 98th
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Will be shipping Kane or Vardy for next week. Get Wilson or Bamford? Wilson has had a rest and has slightly better fixtures so leaning towards him.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      a rest but won't have trained much, I think they could come back rusty rather than rested

    2. Meinhoff
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Bamford

    3. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers both

  18. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    This Leeds team have got an impressive range of hair.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      You could say its top knot(ch).

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        That actually deserves a standing ovation.

      2. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Hard to pull out a man-bun-pun but you pulled it off.
        Well played Sir.

  19. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Ziyech and Chilwell to Salah and 3.9(-4)?

    Martinez
    James • KWP • Dallas
    Salah(C) • KDB • Bruno • Son • Grealish
    DCL • Bamford
    (Steer / Masuaku / Brewster / 3.9)

    Really want Salah(C) and that’s the best way to get the funds I think

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Why get rid of chilly?

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        It’s either Chilly, Grealish or DCL. Who would you sell?

        1. George Agdgdgwngo
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          None. I have that midfield with chilly and james at the back

  20. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kept Werner because of many chances missed the last few GWs, now it's too annoying he'll need to go ... Bamford welcome, better late than never!

    1. Flair
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Will probably score vs Everton

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
