In the final match of Gameweek 13, Chelsea take on Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, with Fantasy interest mostly centred around the hosts backline.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

Chelsea, who have conceded just four goals in 12 league matches this season, make four changes from Gameweek 12, with Marcos Alonso (£5.6m), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.4m), Hakim Ziyech (£7.3m) and Timo Werner (£8.6m) replacing Ben Chilwell (£5.9m), N’Golo Kante (£4.9m), Mason Mount (£7.5m) and Kai Havertz (£8.0m).

That means another start for Reece James (£6.2m), who has four goals and four assists from nine Premier League appearances this term, plus Trevor Chalobah (£4.8m). As a result, Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.8m) is once again a substitute, along with Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m) who is back from injury.

The headline news for Man Utd, who will have Michael Carrick in the dugout, is that Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.4m) drops to the bench with Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m), Jadon Sancho (£8.9m) and Marcus Rashford (£9.4m) preferred in the attacking roles.

    BREAKING: Following their heroic draw away to Chelsea, Manchester United have announced the club badge will now be a picture of Michael Carricks face.

    Alonso, James, Ronaldo. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would get 3 points from that lot.

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      James Rudiger Ronaldo Son Cancelo = 4 points

  17. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Time to get Greenwood back in

  18. JariL
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Ronaldo a must sell now despite the amazing December fixtures?

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Just contradicted yourself

      1. JariL
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Well, if he's not nailed to start the fixtures don't really matter.

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Surely Old Trafford won’t accept bus parking

      1. POGON 1948
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        This. It was a one time Carrick masterclass to counter Tuchel's bus. Back to regular programme now I think.

    3. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

    Great job from Carrick. Two solid results.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Inherited Ole’s luck

  22. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years

    2. tangtastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not for long.

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

    4. POGON 1948
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      25% tsb so yeah a lot.

      Those chasing excitement in life will have Kane instead

    5. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. Everyone.

  23. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Surely high chance of Azpi RWB on Wednesday?

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

  24. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years

    42 points all out. Desperate GW.

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

    2. POGON 1948
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Anyone else put off doing Chilwell -> Alonso now. Other than being on corners he really didnt look that impressive

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Thought he played alright. I wouldn't be put off. Remember it's his 1st game back after being left out for 6 PL games.

        1. POGON 1948
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Fair view. Not many alternatives for LWB at Chelsea:

          Saul wanted out of Atletico to escape playing left flank.
          Pullisic/CHO are makeshift wingbacks at best.

          Think Alonso might still be the move. Cheers

    3. POGON 1948
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Somehow scraped 44 from 8 players..

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Leave Son until Spurs look half decent/DGW

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers mate, would you do ESR to Bilva or Gundo instead??? And keep Foden,, have a full compliment of players so can take benchings

    3. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not Son.

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers mate!! Gone off that idea already haha

  26. WVA
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    That Rudiger miss finishes me off, what an absolutely ridiculous day, this is a serious curse to carry

    1. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      You expected him to smash it Haaland style?

  27. dshv
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Ramsdale
    James Taa Cancelo
    Raphinha Salah Gallagher Foden
    Antonio Hwang Kane

    Foster - ESR - Livra - Duffy

    0.9itb 2ft … what to change or keep for midweek??

  28. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    only 2 more days until another crappy GW

    1. POGON 1948
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      that's the spirit. in 3 days we can be disappointed all over again

  29. big_fat_ARSEnal
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Need to get rid of Tierney and have 0.2 in the bank. Options I'm considering are Guehi, Rico Henry, Lamptey, and Emerson Royal. Thoughts?

    1. dabber7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Guehi or Lamptey, probably Guehi, for all Lamptey's attacking threat, Brighton don't appear to have anybody to convert the chances he's creating.

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 4 months ago

    Chilly to Alonso for -4 failed extremely badly. Dennis left on the bench.

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Wow
