Kurt Zouma‘s (£5.8m) Fantasy Premier League stock has taken another dip in Double Gameweek 19 following Chelsea’s latest team-sheet.

The centre-back has been left on the bench for a second Premier League match in a row, much to the chagrin of his 20.5% ownership.

As things stand, only three defenders are selected by more managers than Zouma but a third start in four for Antonio Rüdiger (£4.5m) alongside Thiago Silva (£5.6m) is sure to trigger a fire-sale in the build-up to Gameweek 20.

Reece James (£5.1m) returns at right-back while Ben Chilwell (£6.1m) remains the most ever-present of Chelsea’s defenders, making his 15th consecutive Premier League start.

Frank Lampard has made changes in attack too, Callum Hudson-Odoi (£5.7m) coming in for Hakim Ziyech (£8.1m) after registering more attacking returns since Gameweek 15 than any other Chelsea asset (two).

Meanwhile, Tammy Abraham (£7.2m) replaces Olivier Giroud (£6.7m) but Christian Pulisic (£8.2m) retains his place on the left-hand side of Chelsea’s front-three.

Any concerns over Jamie Vardy (£10.1m) have been assuaged for now as Brendan Rodgers selects him to lead the Leicester line.

James Maddison (£7.1m), who has as many attacking returns in his last four at the King Power Stadium as the Foxes’ talismanic forward (four), has the number 10 role again, flanked by Harvey Barnes (£6.8m) and Marc Albrighton (£5.3m).

Ricardo Pereira (£5.9m) continues to wait for his first start of the campaign as James Justin (£5.0m) and Timothy Castagne (£5.7m) staff the full-back roles once again.

Leicester City XI (4-2-3-1): Schmeichel; Justin, Evans, Fofana, Castagne; Ndidi, Tielemans; H Barnes, Maddison, Albrighton; Vardy.

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): E Mendy; Chilwell, T Silva, Rüdiger, R James; Havertz, Kovacic, Mount; Pulisic, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi.

    So incredibly tired of owning this overrated chav..

    1. TorresMagic™

      Sell him?

    I do not see Chelsea scoring with the two donkeys Abraham and Werner up front. How far Chelsea football club has fallen with these two up front.

      They’ve not got the ball to them. There’s much bigger problems than those 2

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

        Agree; it’s Central MF where we lose matches

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Everyone loves kovavic but I think he's pretty average at best and kante has been rubbish this season

        2. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          It's in the dugout where Chelsea lose matches.

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      It's the ignoramus on the touchline who's your problem

  4. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    You’d think if it’s not working Lampard would change it. Just doing the same thing all half and not had a shot on goal

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

    Vardy has lost pace

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Probably needs a rest

  6. Chalobah's Witness

      Rodgers

    2. Sim Simma

    Chelsea ain't going to score are they? 🙁

    Well done Justin owners

    1. JJeyy
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Are you suprised? They barely scored against 10 men fulham

  12. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Fofana might be the first £100m defender in a couple of years.

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

      LIV will capture him to play alongside VVD

  13. Limbo
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Chelsea out on their feet here. Weird.

  14. WE GO FOR IT
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Gained 60k after the West Ham game
    Down 30k after this result. Justin has really stopped me from making huge ground this week. Hopefully Chelsea get a consolation to ruin that CS. Anyone bar Chilwell would do.

    Only watched the second half, but this Chelsea performance screams unsettled starting eleven. No idea what they’re doing in the final third.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Could see this at least 5 matches ago. We look awful.

      1. In and Out
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Better with Ziyech on

  16. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Ayoze out of breath, already? Lol.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He ought to be sold - we don't need him.

  17. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Linesman: flags for a foul by Chelsea.

    Martin Tyler: OFFSIDE

  18. fusen

    Abraham looks like he is absolutely fuming every time he asks James to feed him the ball and James ends up passing it backwards up the pitch.

  19. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

  22. HonestBlatter

  23. Sim Simma

    • 15 Years

    Fofana booking may earn Justin 1 BAP

    1. dark91
      • 10 Years

      Justin still out of the bonus system

  24. BenDavies

    Massive fan of Frank and he is a legend at the club but think he needs to go. The job was above his ability
