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.

    Carrick at the wheels. 7 year contract needed.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, we've seen this movie already.

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

      They just should just sign old players for one month at a time. Can't wait until Berbatovs month.

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

        Keeps the manager bounce going, and they could increase revenue by selling old shirts with managers name.

        1. The Philosopher
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Keane as the final boss when all the others are done to come in and blow up Old Trafford in his first game

    3. Plant Based FPLer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Not a bad idea, actually.

  2. F4L
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    RLC isn't it, such a downgrade from Kante/Kova. Hope of those 2 are back soon

  3. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Sancho subbed for going off script.

  4. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    So much for -12pt hit to bring Cancelo and James

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

      Ouch

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

      You got the appropriate prize

    3. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Did White to James for a hit. Seems stupid in himdsight.

    Luke Shaw owners finally rewarded

    Glad I didn’t knee jerk to a Chelsea wingback

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

      So you've missed out on Chelsea defender points?

      1. mixology
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Only joking mate

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

    Give it to James & hope. Win a corner off it, hope again.

    Unsustainable defenders goals can't keep bailing Tuchel out!

  7. WVA

    Players today,

    Ronaldo 0
    Son 0
    James 1
    Cancelo 1
    Rudiger 2

    Still just coincidence?

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

      You're lucky Rudiger hasn't been booked!

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

        Don't worry he will be
        Saying I'm lucky is hilarious though

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

        That miss is more unlucky than a booking

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

      Son Hames and Cancel here and still had a great GW

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

        ESR Gallagher Wilson haven't helped me

    3. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Why do still own Ronaldo is the question?

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

      *Ronaldo 1

    6. Iceball

      James 1
      Cancelo 1
      Antonio 2
      Jesus 2
      Foden 0
      Must be a conspiracy indeed. Or u know the actual answer. Not everyone gets points every week.

    8. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Keep the faith, have a feeling Spurs will play Burnley tomorrow I hope!

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

        How can I after another shocker with Ronaldo Son Cancelo James and that Rudiger miss especially after benching him last week, relentless

  8. Hotdogs for Tea

    4 years, 4 months ago

    I remember having 5 players in the covid cancelled Spurs v Everton game for my worst game week score ever … thankfully I don’t own any Spurs or Burnley players this week but commiserations to any one who does, I know how cruel this FPL mistress can be

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

      Just hope there’s not another wave of COVID cancellations and lockdowns because of this new variant

      1. One More Hit
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Holding onto wildcard as long as possible just in case

  9. TOBY1
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Still glad I have Alonso. Taking lots of set pieces and been in the box quite a lot.

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

    first week as James owner, so expected this! considering how many games in a row he's played now, guess should expect a benching & another 1 pointer midweek

  11. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Last gw Rudigers 14 points stayed on the bench.
    Now I got 2 points coming off my bench.
    Fantasy in a nutshell.

  12. Gross Blank Point
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Odd week.
    2 points off the bench for the foden no show, 3 points at the moment from double Chelsea defence, but almost 50% rank rise still.
    A random game a lot of the time.
