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.

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

      That's much bigger than City losing CS.

  6. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Hold it now, United!

  7. JJO
    • 13 Years

  8. PartyTime
    • 4 Years

    It wouldn’t have been a complete fpl gw without Utd scoring

  9. DycheDycheBaby

    Alonso over Jota went well....

    1. Andy_Social

    Great result for James only holders!

    1. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      how do you work that out? I cant imagine there are too many teams with 2 Chelsea defenders who are both playing.

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

    James and Alonso angered, this could get bloody

  13. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Damn how unlucky is Jesus. 2 goal line clearances and assist stolen because of technicalities

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      He's a very average player

  14. diesel001

    No Ronaldo means Man Utd play well.

    Will Rangnick have the cojones to keep Ronaldo out of the starting XI?

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

      Play well? They’ve barely played at all.

    2. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Wrong conclusion. They aren’t playing well.

  15. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Leave Ronaldo on the bench and bring on Phil Jones!

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

      Ronnie won't come on now

  16. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Thanks Jorginho

  17. Bartowski

    BREAKING: Man United have announced that Old Trafford's East Stand will be named after Michael Carrick

  18. Hazz

    Alright, waiting 1 GW for Alonso looking an okay decision.

    United game-plan working exactly to plan. Hit us on the break as expected.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      He could score still

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

      Oh come on ; idiotic mistake by Jorginho; that’s not a game plan that’s pure luck

  19. HEY JUDE
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Son blank every week.. Keep or change??

    1. fusen
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Blanking when he doesn't play is expected isn't it?

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

      Depends.

  20. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Definitely been one of those if it can go wrong will go wrong weeks

  21. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Rashford got away with it here, there wasn’t one single moment in this run, when he wasn’t offside. Idiotic.

  22. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Rangnick not even in the country and his tactics over the earpiece got Tuchel's Chelsea sh*ting bricks

  23. Pukki Party
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Remember we don't have Chelsea defenders for clean sheets

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      No. For yellow cards 🙁

  24. Random Name
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Never want to see Jorginho. And Ballon d'or in the same sentence again.

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

      This guy’s been the lazy kid in a group project for years. Very lucky for his teams to be doing so well this year.

    Foden to Sancho could be a real option for when these Utd fixtures change

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

      Lol

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

      All options are real options.
