The start of Thomas Tuchel’s reign at Chelsea couldn’t have gone much better, with the Blues still unbeaten under their new manager.

Tuchel’s troops are second in the Premier League form table since his arrival, yet interest from a Fantasy perspective remains modest.

Using LiveFPL’s top 10,000 ownership figures as a good gauge of popularity among active Fantasy Premier League managers, only Antonio Rudiger (£4.6m) sits in more than 10% of squads.

There are a number of reasons why this is the case: a tricky-looking Double Gameweek 26, a lack of a fixture in Blank Gameweek 29 and off-putting rotation – more of which below – will all have played a part.

But for those Fantasy managers already thinking ahead to beyond the March international break, there are fewer teams with better runs of matches from Gameweeks 30-34 than the Blues:


Which Chelsea assets should be entering our thoughts over the coming weeks, then?

We assess Tuchel’s influence at Stamford Bridge since he succeeded Frank Lampard and highlight the players who are flourishing under his management.

    Cuadrado for Juve with 12 key passes, 3 big chances created and an assist, impressive!

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      5 years, 21 days ago

      Not his defensive work though.

  6. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 21 days ago

    Buffon would have saved that

    Dear oh dear cristiano. Try looking at the ball you're trying to block.

  8. Scapegoat Salah

  12. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

  13. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

    1. Scapegoat Salah

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years

      Brilliant excitement.

      I really struggle to like Pepe but Sofascore have him down as 22 CBI's in that game, incredible shift

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 21 days ago

        Yeah has had some career in fairness. He's one you'd want in your team.

    Cuadrado had 32 crosses tonight, has to be close to a record no? and also created 12 chances

    No FH, so looking to use FTs to bolster gw29 numbers.

    Barnes > ...
    1) Lingard (but doesn't play 28)
    2) Trossard (differential and in Goals Imminent right now table, fwiw)
    3) Soucek (plays 28 and 29)
    4) Saka (rotation risk?)
    5) Other?

    1. _Greg
      • 16 Years

      3 n 4 are safe. I've punted on Willock!

  19. tabby98
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 21 days ago

    Pope, Johnstone
    Stones, Cancelo, Digne, Dallas, Lowton
    Salah, Bruno, Son, Gundo, Raphinha
    DCL, Bamford, Antonio

    2FT £0ITB

    A) Salah ---> Bale
    B) Salah + DCL ---> Lingard + Kane
    C) Salah + DCL ---> Saka + Kane
    D) Salah + DCL + Pope ---> Lingard + Kane + Martinez (-4)
    E) Salah + DCL + Pope ---> Saka + Kane + Martinez (-4)

    Or something else pls suggest??

    I'm trying to field GW 29 players so I can use my WC in 31

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 21 days ago

      Probably worth the hit for D. Kane more important than Bale and you can cover Lingard this week. Marti good long term will get points back even if he doesn’t get a clean sheet 29

  20. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 21 days ago

    What a world we live in.

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 21 days ago

      Better than all the other ones

  21. MJF
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 21 days ago

    I would’ve thought Mendy was the best Chelsea defensive puck behind Azpi.

    1. MJF
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 21 days ago

      Why do they put the ‘u’ so close to the ‘i’

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

    That was a great game with some absolutely top drawer rolling around.

  23. _Greg
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 21 days ago

    Decided to sell Barnes for Willock, I think he looks good for his price n Newcastle really need a result this week. Cancelo > Konsa next week leaving me with 3.5m ITB to take Raphinha out for a significant upgrade or get Salah or Bruno back for Son after 29.

    1. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 21 days ago

      Ballsy move.I like it.Good luck.

      1. _Greg
        • 16 Years

        Thanks and good luck to you too!

  27. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 21 days ago

    DCL - Barnes - Cancelo =>
    a) Maja - Bale - Cresswell (-4)
    b) Antonio - Bale - Konsa (-4)
    c) something else?

    Setting up for BGW29

    Martinez
    Stones – Cancelo – Rudiger
    Salah – Bruno – Gundo – Son
    Bamford – DCL – Watkins

    Bench: Areola - Coufal – Digne – Barnes

    Was planning to do Salah to Bruno and Barnes to Bale and Son for a hit but having second thoughts.
