Double Gameweek 19 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) finally reaches its conclusion tonight, with Fulham v Chelsea getting underway at 20:00 GMT.

The hosts have won all four of their matches since the World Cup, while Graham Potter’s side currently sit 10th in the table, after a run of just one win in eight Premier League games.

As for the all-important team news, Chelsea hand a debut to new signing Joao Felix after he joined on loan from Atletico Madrid. The Portuguese, priced up as a £7.5m forward by FPL towers, lines up alongside Mason Mount and Kai Havertz in attack.

“It’s a combination of a lot of things: his training, the quality he has and the team needs a little bit of lift in terms of the ability he has. He’s a confident boy and he just wants to play. He’s just got to be himself. He hasn’t had that much time with the players, just about expressing himself.” – Graham Potter on why Joao Felix is starting

Elsewhere, Lewis Hall starts in place of Marc Cucurella, who drops to the bench, having struggled against Man City last time out.

Marco Silva, meanwhile, makes just one change from the 1-0 win at Leicester, as Carlos Vinicius starts up front in place of the suspended Aleksandar Mitrovic.

“He [Mitrovic] will get some rest, but [Carlos] Vinicius will get as many moments as we can get him because he is one of our main options to start as a striker. It is a great chance for him but to also give Mitrovic a bit of a break. But he is still training well and these things are good signs for us. Hopefully he will be back playing his best for us in the next few games, but for now the main solution is Vinicius.” – Marco Silva

  4. Steve Stiffler
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Have 3.8 ITB. is it worth doing Mount > Almiron (-4). Then get KDB for Saka next week(have Martinelli)

    Thanks

  5. No Salah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Salah or Kane (-4)?

  6. KeanosMagic
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    I've got to play either Cucu or Botman. Already playing Trippier.

    Who do I go for? Give Cucu one last chance?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Botman

    2. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Botman for me. I dont like double ups tho as a rule. Maybe tonight was Fulham's night.

    3. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Botman easy choice

  7. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Cucu > 4.3M defender to fund Kane ... who's the best? Mings, Roerslev, Peraud, Bueno?

    1. squ1rrel
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      I have Roerslev

  8. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    3 BAPs from the (Wo)man in the stands for Andreas Pereira!

  10. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Why isn’t Felix in FPL yet?

    1. aapoman
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      He got a red card so they removed him

      1. teknicolourfox
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        Lol

    2. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      7.5 mill striker

    3. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Ciao Felix

    4. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      I think Chelsea might have found the receipt and exercised their rights during the cooling off period.

  11. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    I have Kepa, James, Cancelo, Mount and Kulusevski. 2ft and .3 itb. Hoping Kulu is passed fit but trying to clarify what the priority is !

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      James, Cancelo & Kepa (or just bench for the time being if you have ward) in that order

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        Yeah, something like this will have to suffice.

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      All of them.

    3. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Just W.C. like me, lol :).

  12. aapoman
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Wildcard time? Already did Darwin -> Kane with my only ft.

    Ederson
    Trippier Cucu Castagne
    Salah Rashford Martinelli Trossard* Andreas
    Kane Haaland

    Ward; Gabriel, Patterson*, Greenwood

    1. maglia rosa
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Any cash left over ❓

      1. aapoman
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        1.5

        1. maglia rosa
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 5 days ago

          Trossard ➡ Mahrez looks a good move I reckon

          1. aapoman
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 5 days ago

            Yeah considering that one. Just so scared lf his minutes

            1. maglia rosa
              • 15 Years
              3 years, 5 days ago

              He’s an educated punt if I can word it that way…..form and other options that could take his spot (at least for the opening dgw game) showing nothing last night v’s Saints make him a half decent option. If he fails and you get shafted by pep roulette then he’s an easy sell next week. Good luck with your decision Aapoman 🙂

  13. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    God maybe the dullard move is the one...

    Kepa + Cancelo > Ederson + Shaw -4

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      This Kepa showing has swayed me to the former. City will rack up some cleans eventually

  14. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Will Kane miss the city game if he gets booked in the NLD?

    1. Letsgo!
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Yes

    2. maglia rosa
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Yes

    3. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Yep

    4. aapoman
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Don't think so since they already played 19 games

      1. aapoman
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        Oops there's the skipped gameweek due to Queens death

  15. Letsgo!
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Perisic or doherty

    1. Make FPL Casual Again
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Doherty, cheaper , more chance of a goal , always popping up in the box.

  16. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Best transfer to make with the following Squad? 2.6 in the bank.

    Kepa, Ward
    Shaw, Cucurella, Trippier, Patterson, Bueno
    KDB, Martinelli, Almiron, Rashford, Andreas
    Mitro, Kane, Haaland

    Thinking about doing Kepa to Ederson.

  17. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Is there a Klopp press tomorrow ?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Yes

  18. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    What is Potters idea with Chelsea? Really struggling to understand how they should play

    1. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      He better play the young boys next match. They have spark

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      It's all being decided by injuries atm. Not had a break

    3. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Trying to get sacked to get his big pay off

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      He doesn’t know his best team and he’s making some amateur mistakes tactically and team sheet wise

      Under previous ownership he would be out

  19. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Well done Andreas did a job for me

  20. FCSB
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Best defender to replace Cancelo (-4), have Shaw / Trippier / White…

    Thanks

  21. Jaok
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Kepa
    Tripper Cancelo Robertson
    Almiron Martinelli Salah Rashford
    Haaland Mitro Darwin

    Ward White Andreas Bueno

    I’ve f**ked up

    A: Robbo + Darwin -> Kane + Botman -4
    B: Cancelo + Darwin -> Kane + Botman -4
    C: + Salah -> KDB -8
    D: Help!

  22. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Pereira is the BT sport man of the match but isn't in the top TEN players for fpl. What the what

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Different metrics

      1. romperstomper
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        Different match more like. Not in the top TEN?

  23. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    No FT take a hit or stick?

    Ederson
    Trippier, Botman, Dalot
    KDB, C Rashford, Martinelli, Almiron,
    Hauland, Kane, Darwin

    Ward, White, Bueno, Andreas,

    .9.

  24. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Bench boost done and dusted! 21 points! Many thanks Jay Leno!!

    It was the only way I could get Andreas on the pitch. And no transfers wasted to boot.

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Good result. I played mine in GW6 and got 13 points from it.

      1. shirtless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        I was targeting 15 from Leno and Andreas. So well happy. The less said about Patterson the better...!

  25. abaalan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Salah -> KDB
    and Darwin -> Martial

    For free?

  26. A. PRISE
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Boehly consistently proving that you don't need brains to be a billionaire

  27. estheblessed
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Is anyone NOT doing Haaland captain?

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      A few Rashers shouts

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Captain poll:
      Haaland 67.86%
      Rashford 15.62%

      I'm going Rashford.

  28. BUZZBOMB ♡
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Potter looks like he's on the edge. Knows the ruler is coming down him when they find out. Panicking.

    1. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Fun fact. I delivered Potter's Assistant Billy Reid's Glasgow Evening Times back in the 80s when he played with Hamilton. Was an annoying wee bun back then too. Never tipped more than rounding up the pennies to the nearest 10p each week.

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        He tipped the guy delivering his pizzas by the look of him

        1. BUZZBOMB ♡
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 days ago

          He always looked like that weirdly. Looks same age now. Surround yourself with fat average yo yo-ing Scottish full backs from the 80s and you'll learn your lesson Potter...

  29. aapoman
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Andreas captain actually matched Mitro and beat Haaland. I'll take that

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Played well tonight

  30. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Reckon… Cancelo+Darwin >> Botman+Kane (-4)?

    Kepa
    Cancelo(2), Shaw(2), Tripps
    KDB(2), Rash(2), Saka, Almiron
    Haaland(2), Darwin, Mitro
    (Ward, White, Andreas, B.Williams*)

    1. Norco
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Yes

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Downside I’d have is Mitro vs double NEW def. Hmmm
