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.

      Going Vardy and Dier over Antonio and Justin on WC is haunting me.

    3. camarozz

      5 years, 16 days ago

      Not having a Leicester defender is hurting overall and MLs.

      Who would u lose frm these tho

      Holding/Coufal/Stones/
      Dallas/Robbo??

      And I almost always only play 3 at the back.

      1. Stockport Hatter
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Holding or Dallas

      2. Forgetmeknot
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        That’s a tough one.

        If you feel you must have him, probably Robbo

      3. Limbo
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Robbo and invest.

    4. Weasel Boy

      Disastrous DGW so far.

      Selling Vardy for a hit as he is sh1t

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Awful Chelsea!

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Agreed.

      2. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        That's why I got Vardy.

    6. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Why not take that on the right...?

      1. Im New Here
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Doesn't trust his right foot

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        No right foot. Absolutely has to take that one... FFS.

    7. OverTinker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Chilwell to Justin or Mitchel?

      James Justin!

      Bye bye Frank

    10. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Lampard has served up a performance of ineptitude that even Chris Wilder would be embarrassed about.

    11. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      That should be Justin out of the BAP race.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Beautiful tackle.

    12. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Just dawned on me why I’m not great at FPL
      1. Don’t watch enough football
      2. Don’t pay attention to actual football, and spend too long on here!

      **Just looked at league table and seem West Ham are 2 points behind Liverpool and Leicester top of the league 😆

    13. REDMOND IN SANDALS
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      bruh how did justin not get a return tonight

      1. Egg noodle
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        He did. A CS

      2. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        He did
        CS

      3. REDMOND IN SANDALS
        • 5 Years

        attacking return*

    14. Egg noodle
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Pre season we all thought that the front 4 of Pulisic Ziyech Havertz Werner would jizz all over the opponents in the PL... What happened... Have they even started together yet?!

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        They bought them without a plan. Is there even a system where all four can play together to their strengths?

      2. Jon Snow
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Chelsea went for the FIFA Career Mode strat

        1. Egg noodle
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          lol

    15. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Please drop Justin. Give us one goddam day off from this guy.

      1. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Get him in

      2. AC Pilkington
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Pereira is head and shoulders a better player

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Albrighton has been good, but those two could bench him.

    16. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Some people benched Justin, No BB 🙂

    17. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Urgh all Leicester attackers did great except vardy.

      Never mind, have a rest and whack 4 in next week

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Vardy goals next match...

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Almost certain now...

      2. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Only 4 is an assist and booking

      3. Il Capitano
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        4 goals with no Vardy involvement is grim

    18. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years

      Justin a better FPL player than I am.

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years

        With that side, he’s definitely on here sometimes
        #template

        1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
          • 12 Years

      2. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        He's improving too. Look at OR history

        1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Winning in life and here 🙂

      3. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        He's pretty damn good. Wasted bench boost though

        1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          yeah. on the hand he got it out of the way now.

      4. Boxwoods
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Deplorable VC call this week, though.

        1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Can't have it all hahaha

    19. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Reece James Justin

    20. Rinseboy
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Justin looks quality! why would he ever get dropped?

    21. dansmusen
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Droped Justin and barnes on a WC to get Vardy and Soucek.

    22. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      46 from 12, with 7 including captain to go (KDB C). This week just gets worse and worse 🙁

    23. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      How the hell is Justin nowhere near the baps?
      He played a tidy game

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Missed a sitter

    24. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      I read earlier that someone sold the highest scorer in the game for a hit lol.

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        He wasn't the highest scorer in the game at the time but I did Saka and Kane to Salah and Brewster for a hit.

    25. AC Pilkington
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Can't catch a damn break, I finally get a green arrow for Antonio and Coufal and then the Justin brigade put me back onto a red.

      1. Party time
          5 years, 16 days ago

          Lol

      2. Fer Fuch's Ake
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Would be enticing having R Pereira play winger

        1. Duke Silver ☑
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          He's pretty much a winger when he plays full back anyway.

      3. AzzaroMax99
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Bamford to Antonio for free? My biggest mistake in this week...

        1. Fer Fuch's Ake
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          No, Leeds have nice fixtures and would be lateral move at best

          1. AzzaroMax99
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 16 days ago

            What about Watkins? Antonio looking on the fire.

            1. Fer Fuch's Ake
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 16 days ago

              More enticing but still feels a bit short term, and knowing Antonio's injury risk it may not pay off

      4. Ronnies
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        No money in bank.

        Afraid James price will drop.

        James to Stones ?

        Cheers.

        1. A. PRISE
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          It won't drop relax

      5. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Justin on 10 more points than Vardy in the DGW. Power back 5, Stones(TC) was the way to go
