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.

      Dude, TV doesn't matter, anyone can get great TV at the expense of points.

        TV does matter towards the end of the season.... I'm intrigued that's all! If you don't like it then don't reply.

        All the best

          Was over 108 till I sold DCL last week and Salah the week before and lost a chunk.
          These billionaires are difficult to keep happy lol

  6. M2.0

    5 years, 16 days ago

    Please rate this defence (bearing in mind i prefer a back 3):

    Dias Stones Justin Coufal Mitchell

    A) Too cheap
    B) Too expensive
    C) Balanced

    1. Jammy Dodger
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      C

    2. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      If you prefer a back 3, you're overspent.

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        I don’t think he has with the city rotation risk

        1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 16 days ago

          So, overspent and subject to rotation, as well. Doubling up Pep's defense isn't a long-term strategy I'd go with, but to each his own.

    3. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years

      C

  7. The Senate

    VARDY SCORE PLEASE

  8. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    I can totally do with this scoreline and a few more saves from Mendy.

  9. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Vardy xG

  10. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Vardy you absolute wasteman piss off

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

    Mendy you legend

  12. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    All those casuals set to benefit from Justin time Justin again tonight, while the rest of us old timers, who knew his time would be limited miss out again. When is he going to be dropped btw?

    1. GROBARI
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Cry me a river

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

      only casuals missed his last game of the season against manutd last season where he cemented himself as one of the best defenders in the team.

  13. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Wish I got Antonio instead of Vardy for this double

    1. djman102
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Same. Although if I had, I would have had the money to bring in Dias instead of Stones.

      Of course, I would still be ahead as it stands, but still.

  14. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Bench Salah or Soucek next week ?

  15. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Vardy was offside, but there was no point trying to be clever.

    Just put your foot through it and hit it across goal.

  16. BenDavies
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Desperately need Chelsea to score, both as a fan and non-Justin owner. COME ON YOU BLUES KTBFFH

  17. LE CHARO
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Vardy looked offside. VAR probably would have ruled it out

  18. Pedersen
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    C'mon Chelsea. I need a goal from you to wipe leicester cs. Got a chocolate on the line for points this week! My opponent got 2 leicester def, i got 1

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

    Vardy, 7 shots last match, now play against this high def line Chelsea. It's crazy if be blank this week.

  20. Avery
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Q0. Sterling & Zouma to Dias & Maddison?
    Already have stones.
    Would give me some money to upgrades elsewhere.

    Q1. Is Dias currently nailed or will Laporte coming maybe back in effect things?
    Q2. Would you choose Dias over Cancelo?
    Q3. Is Maddison worth the extra over maybe Barnes or Mount?
    Cheers

  25. BeWater

    At least when you own KDB he actually touches the ball and looks like doing something even when he blanks. Vardy spends the entire game chasing shadows and then blanks.

  26. The Suspended One
