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.

    Chelsea side is scary, so much power

    1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      They have to concede andit had to be Bamford..

  2. TorresMagic™

    Bonus race is crazy

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

      Zouma 3 more from winning goal?

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        Already added

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

      Final?

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Mount 3
      Bamford 2 ?

    4. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Oh bugga.

  3. Starskyb
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Worth getting Zyiech out quickly to save his 0.1 drop and get Salah in before he rises 0.1 even though salah not played?

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Hmm no. Salah could get injured

    2. Budweiser
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      You'll look pretty stupid if something happens to him

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

        Yeh, that is my obvious concern but with the big jump between them, I'm also worried I'll get priced out. I'll probably just hold as long as I can afford to and keep an eye on ownership.

    3. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Do people never learn?

  4. Twisted Saltergater
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    So, Ziyech to Pulisic a no brainer?

    1. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      I said this a couple of pages back and was shot down.

      He was top of everyone's shopping list at the start of the season.

      Great differential?

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

        Not on the right he’s not

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 12 days ago

          He played on the left. Werner moved over to the right.

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

            But will that be the case next week?

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • 16 Years
              5 years, 12 days ago

              Might be, don't know. He crossed for Pulisic from the right so looks like he can play there.

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

            And they started with him on right after the sub

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        Yep, agree. 0.3m Black Friday discount at the minute, too.

    2. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      And then back next week for the third time this season, amirite?

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        not owned him yet! Looks like Ziyech has a hamstring tweak so that's 2 weeks out minimum.

  5. Elly88 > KTR (Kevin The …
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    I like Werner even if he has not scored. Fan here.

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Seems like a real team player.
      Germany seem to produce lots of this type of ego-free footballer.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Effortlessly goes up through the gears.

  6. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      too bad he is injured now. owners would have kept hoping for returns.

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        Was always going this week

  14. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Awful from Chilwell. If he isn't returning points every single match I don't want him..

    1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Lol

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years

  15. FCSB

    Will Bamford end up with 3 bps?

    1. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Zouma gw goal so I don't think so...

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      I surely hope so

  16. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Very entertaining games today 🙂

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Agree, football is back 😛

  17. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Leaked Liverpool team from the same source who has had it correct 3 out of 3
    Kelleher
    Neco
    Fabinho
    Matip
    Robertson
    Henderson
    Gini
    Curt
    Salah
    Mane
    Bobby

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Tbf he picked Adrian.

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        Adrian was a very late injury I think. Released the team before.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Ok, Jota is benched when he's needed

    3. Orion
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Jota?

    4. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Looks good
      Makes sense to give Jota a breather and also vs old team

    5. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Can't be right, doesn't have Jota starting.

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        Hope it’s wrong as have Jota but this guy hasn’t been wrong so far

    6. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Hope Neco starts

  18. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Bamford 9 pointer lovely

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      That's a joke and I'm a Leeds supporter.

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        Was on the pitch for 90 mins, touched the ball once, went in net.

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

    Ziyech injury look serious?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      yeah, hammy by the look of it

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

        thanks. classic FPL, got him for a hit few weeks ago for Podence and Podence outscored him

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Hammy, seems a bit fragile, I'd get rid.

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

      Not really but hamstring so expect a few weeks out

  20. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Zouma James doubleup works out afterall.

  21. ivantys
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    And people were thrash talking saying Lampard's a bad manager

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

      Amazing what spending hundreds of millions on a squad that already cost hundreds of millions can do, eh?

      1. ivantys
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        LiVARpool's squad are from their academy right?

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 12 days ago

          At the moment? Yeah....some games.

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      He's so dour though.

  22. Feloh
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    No baps for James and Zouma the only thing worth celebrating.

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

      This is wrong

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        Agreed

  23. F4L
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Has Werner always been this wasteful in front of goal?

  24. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    As a Leeds fan there is no way Bamford should be any where near the bonus points.

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Problem off the system. No shots off target and you get bonus whilst Salah doesn't if he scores only one.

  25. GE
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Kean Bryan at Sheff Utd (def) nailed at 4.0?
    Mitchell -> Kean Bryan tempting!

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Nope

  26. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Need to sell one of Chilwell, Grealish or DCL to get funds for Ziyech to Salah(C). Which one?

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

      I know Chilwell is to a 3.9 but who would Grealish and DCL be to?

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        5.7 for DCL or 5.5 for Grealish. I’m reluctant to sell Chilly but it looks like it’s the only option

  27. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    3 - Mount (30)
    2 - Bamford, Phillips (29)

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      noice

    2. TorresMagic™

    3. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Nooo

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Fair. Mount was MOTM imo.

    5. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      WHAT? LOL.

  28. turd ferguson
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    How many bonus for Bruno?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      3

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Laughably.

  29. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Is that some kind of joke?
    Bamford and Philips on wrong side of 3-1 defeat and considered for BAPs??

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

      PURE JOKE

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        No shots off target... System error imo.

  30. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Huge dilemma: who to ship out to fund Salah: Werner or DCL

    Have to stick to original plan and say goodbye to DCL right?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Obviously Werner as he is horrendous
