The FPL eye test: The stand-out Chelsea options for Double Gameweek 34

Stevie of EyeTestFPL casts the spotlight on more Fantasy Premier League (FPL) options that have caught his eye, using ‘eye test’ screenshots and information from our Premium Members Area.


With double-headers in Gameweek 34 and Gameweek 36, Chelsea probably have the best FPL players to target right now.

After being ousted by Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, there is perhaps slightly less rotation risk for their assets as well. Outside of the league, where they are ‘almost’ guaranteed a place in one of the Champions League qualification spots, Chelsea now only have the FA Cup final against Liverpool to contend with.

WERNER SPEARHEADS ATTACK

There was once a period when Romelu Lukaku (£11.4m) was highly coveted playing in the centre-forward position, but now we might have got a better deal with the less costly Timo Werner (£8.6m) cementing his place as the spearhead of Chelsea’s three-pronged attack.

There is arguably no-one better in the Chelsea ranks who can perceive space and make runs in behind than the German striker.

Though Kai Havertz (£7.9m) can do a similar job, Werner’s pace probably makes the role more suitable for him, which is also another reason why I think he is currently first choice. Consequently, Werner taking up the central position might slightly dampen Havertz’s potential, which we will touch upon shortly.

Even though Southampton constantly giving up spaces in crucial areas played into Werner’s hands, the advantage of owning a Chelsea striker was underlined with his five big chances recorded in Gameweek 32.

However, this does not mean Werner had everything served on his plate every time. He had to sometimes carve out his own chances as he went on a mazy run inside the box before eventually pulling the trigger.

Despite the goal initially coming from a woeful back pass, some credit ought to go to the German striker for actually being there to pounce on the error in the first place, holding off Jan Bednarek’s (£4.4m) challenge before rounding the goalkeeper was no small feat either.

Who are the best Chelsea players for FPL Double Gameweek 34

Werner then continued his brilliant form in the FA Cup against Crystal Palace with an assist on top of serving up another big chance on a plate for Lukaku late in the game.

Aside from diligent all-round movement that can create spaces for other attackers, Werner has now added the previously missing end-product to his game which surely has not gone unnoticed in Thomas Tuchel’s eyes.

    Manure parking the bus with a back five.

    Sad times eh

      Correct decision to play a back 5 imo

      1. EffPeeEll
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Definitely.

        Correct in the way this side has deteriorated to the point of cowardice against the mighty reds IMO>

          Just a smart tactic to play against Liverpool considering the damage Trent and Robertson cause from wide positions. Chelsea does the same.

      Manure… Cutting edge wit

        couldn't find a term of endearment so I opted for excrement.

    Maybe I’m just mad, but I thought it fairly uncontentious that DDG is a better keeper than Allison?

    Just one plays in a far better team. I seem to be being shouted down in WhatsApp group…

    1. EffPeeEll
      • 4 Years

      Pelters coming your way later?

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years

      Shot stopper I’d say DDG edges it. Alisson is much better with the ball at feet, distribution and more confident with claiming crosses from set pieces.

      1. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        DDG crossing and physical presence has always been a weakness and I guess with his feet too. But is that so importance to Liverpool as it is with Ederson for City?

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Edersons distribution is the best in the world for keepers. It is important of course for any team that plays a high line. Can cause serious issues on quick counters and against teams that play a high line.

      Alisson is better imo. He has better ball distribution, commanding skill etc.

    4. Hooky
      • 9 Years

      DDG of maybe 4 years ago was better but Allison far superior now imo.

      1. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        But that’s an unfair comparison as united were way better 4 years ago. Any keeper is going to get exposed playing behind Maguire!

    5. PartyTime
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Don’t forget Alisson’s goal vs wba too 😆

    6. I'm out of name ideas
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Do you imagine that Liverpool would want to swap?

    7. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would disagree by a fair margin. DDG is a fine shot stopper but I don't think there's there's more than that. Alisson is superb for distribution, sweeping, covering his defence and with his feet in general. He's a very good shot stopper too, I think people have really underestimated how many times he's saved Liverpool this season from dropping points / losing clean sheets

      We call him Dave the Save. He’s better imo

  4. Rodney

    Anyone considering Christensen as a way into Chelsea defence?

    1. PartyTime
      • 3 Years

      More like a way into a dark hole

    Come on Bruno! Your my only skin in this match!

    I am looking for cheap 5th defender- is the risk of Robertson being rested high enough to merit bringing in Tsimikas as bench player ( appreciate it blocks off getting another attacker alongside Salah)

  9. C_G

    2 years, 6 months ago

    Salah, Robbo, TAA, need hauls from each!

    Easy Liverpool win here as expected

        Right now there seems to be light years between the 2 teams out there tonight. Can’t see how Liverpool can avoid to win this clear. Only have Bruno. TL!

    Who would you rather drop to get Triple Chelsea? Looking at Alonso, Mount and Werner.

    A) Kane
    B) KDB

    Obviously Kane is more highly owned but City's fixtures are amazing
