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.

    Reece James awful, again...

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      My 50/50 decision to get him instead of James on a WC has been catastrophic ... let comparison tool overrule my head.

  5. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    No involvement from Vardy... useless!

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

      He and Jonny Evans both ducked so the goal could be scored; bps for that?

  7. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  14. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    If Lampard gets the sack, who would you like to be the next Chelsea manager?

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

      Avram Grant

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

      Uncle Carlo

      1. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        Leave a top table team to manage a mid table one?

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

          Roman will just buy Everton and fire him to make it work

          1. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 16 days ago

            Buy the refs and VAR instead ..like United and Liverpool do?

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

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years

      Drogba!

    4. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Hiddink incoming

    5. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Who would I like? Tim Sherwood but unfortunately it'll probably be Tuchel.

      1. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 16 days ago

        I had the same name in mind...or Allegri if available

    6. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 16 days ago

      Conte was great btw...why did they sack him?

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

    Maddison starting over Grealish for England?

    I’d favour Grealish as a player but not sure Southgate is a fan of antics.

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

      Has Maddison even got a start or so? Doesn't seem favoured.

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

    Shocking defending from us. At least this means Rudiger isn't starting again anytime soon.

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

    Comical defending

  18. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Maddison is a trap 😉

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

      3 games 3 goals since I got him

  19. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Ref was about to give a penalty there before maddison scored....

  20. Stormbringer22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Vardy has been useless this game so far

  21. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Too early to start Rodgers to chelsea rumours?

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

    Zouma the key

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

    Boughty Maddy before Newcastle Game... he scores 3 goals after this. I really feel catching the wave. Small percentage of owners

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

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

    Vardy barely outscoring Brewster since I got him.

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

    Hope Chelsea get a consolation goal after Vardy's second half hattrick

  29. MagicMessi
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Well done Barnes/Maddison /Leicester defence owners well deserved .. Vardy bit unlucky so far tho

  30. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 16 days ago

    Just noticed Mount starting again, guy is nailed as

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

      Nailed to be shite and one of the reasons Chelsea are constantly losing

      1. tuturututu
        • 5 Years

    2. MagicMessi
