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

    Feel sorry for Potter but he’ll be sacked within weeks at this rate.

      with the uncertainty of Man City ( was pretty set on Stones) I am also looking at Spurs, and probably Perisic but if he still a risk?

    I would...

        Now you're talking!!

  4. Mane Mane Mane

    Is Toney out and if he is, how long is out for?

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He's got his violins lessons, he can come out to play later when he's had his tea.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thought he was better with piano

  5. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Keep or sell Martial for a hit?

    1. Wenger's Warriors
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      With a double next, I wouldn't. Who would you sell him for ..Kane? Then, yes!

      1. Wolfman180
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Can't get to him unfortunately, got 8.3m to spend on replacement. Just looking over options if it looks like Martial misses out.

        1. Wenger's Warriors
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Forward pickings are thinning out. ,Mitrovic, Wilson, Mbuemo, Toney.
          You could go 3 5 2 and go super cheap with the 3rd fwd...

          1. Wolfman180
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Already on 352 with a cheap 3rd forward.
            I've got White on bench should Martial not play so I guess I could hold and hope for the best. I'd have to start thinking -8s to sell either Salah or KDB to go for Kane

  6. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    When will Fulham open their new stand?

    It looks pretty completed.

  7. Steve Stiffler
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kepa to someone for a -4?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not worth a hit

    2. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ederson or Pope likely to payoff

  8. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    forget fpl ,nfl is the way

    1. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah that’s a big no.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      90% stoppages. Too stop-start for me.

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. Wenger's Warriors
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ake

  10. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Rank is around 5000-6000

    Should I TC Haaland?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      At that rank you should know better hehe

      I wouldn’t, too early and fixtures suck, could work though, truly is a 50:50

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm not even sure he's the best captain this week

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This

  11. DropkickMurphys
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who’s the player with most fantasy points on his Premier League debut?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Haaland

    2. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Shaft

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        You damn right…..

  12. Isco Disco
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would appreciate some help here folks.
    Take Darwin or Mitro out for Kane? Have 2FTs so won't need to take a hit.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Well Darwin is potentially injured.

    2. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Probably Darwin as he might not play.

    3. Isco Disco
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Appreciate it folks! Didn't realize Darwin is doubtful as i missed the team news.
      I'll wait for Klopp's presser before making the move. The scenario of Pool getting a DGW and tough fixtures for Mitro made me think twice before taking Darwin out

  13. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Chalobah & Koulibaly = Dumb & Dumber

    1. Steve Stiffler
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      there all a bunch of clowns to be fair

    2. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Chalobah out badiashile in 2nd half, kouli RCB

      1. SkyByBo
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Kouli looks dreadful

        1. Wenger's Warriors
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Koulibadl!

  14. CheesyZoot
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Play Andreas in 20 or do one of these moves for -4? Already done Cucu > Shaw

    A) Patterson > Stones/Ake

    B) Greenwood > Martial (if news he is fit)

    C) Andreas > Eriksen (punt)

    1. aapoman
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

  15. abaalan
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    When are we likely to hear if more dgw are coming up? Are who are the main protagonists who will be involved??

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kepa 😆

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

      Uh oh, what’s he done?

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Punched a shot towards an opponent. His CB had to hack it away to save him

      2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Made an easy save bad and almost set up the attacker

  17. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kepa...

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      How’s this for a WC Austin!

      Raya
      Trippier - Akanji - Shaw
      Martinelli - KDB - Rashford - Odegaard
      Kane - Haaland - Martial (if fit)

      Olsen: Rodrigo: White: Schär

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I think Rodrigo's a bit too expensive for that spot. Bamford's fit and they just signed a striker, so I think his role in the team is about to change a bit/lot... From pens to being up front

        How about Mitoma or Mac Allister, then use those funds for Olsen to DDG?

        Agree with the rest, except maybe White to Gabriel with the spare funds

        Mitrovic over Martial if he's not fit, methinks. Then benched for the Brighton mid (my preference) or Rodrigo. That's the plan, right?

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Oh is Bamford fit now? That changed the landscape a tad then.

          Yeah I was thinking Mitoma for Rodrigo actually, would hurt to lose Almiron but that’s a position I’m all too willing to change.
          I did have Gabriel in there but because of Martial I switch Ed to White for exact funds.

          I already have Mitro so that’s be a simple switch back.

          Yep that’s the plan to bench the forward for the Brighton mid if going Mitoma/Rodrigo.
          The Rodrigo funds actually unlocks a lot now I look at it.

          Cheers bud! Gonna have fun with these drafts! 🙂

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years

            Glad to help. Good luck! 🙂

            1. RICICLE

              Cheers buddy!

  18. krumcake
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    My team is in bad shape after I missed the deadline after the World Cup. Could I get some advice, please?

    Pope Iversen
    Guehi Castagne N.Williams Cancelo Trippier
    Martinelli Zaha KDB Rashford Andreas
    Mitrovic Darwin Haaland

    1.0 ITB, 2 FT

    I could do Cancelo + Darwin -> Shaw + Kane, but open to more spicy suggestions. OR: 1,2 million and chasing in all my leagues.

    I'm very seriously considering WC next GW.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same rank and also strongly considering WC, you’re moved though sound good!

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      That’s not bad! I’d prio getting rid of Cancelo, Castagne and Guehi.

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Agree with your moves, including skipping WC for one more GW

      Fwiw, I'd still bench Guehi for his double. 3-4-3, right?

      1. krumcake
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers. I haven't decided on the formation yet. Will probably bench Guehi.

  19. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years

    That feeling when the WC button is hit. Delicious.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Awww man I envy ya! I am this close to doing it, in fact in all likelihood I will, DGW’s are here and a lot of dross needs to go!
      Early birthday gift to myself also ha!

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Posted a potential team just above

        1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Very similar to mine

          DDG Ward
          Trip Shaw Botman White Lewis
          KDB Saka Ode Rashford Rodrigo
          Haaland Kane Greenwood

          1. RICICLE
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Very nice! Both feeling the Rodrigo punt there I see

      2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Needed to be done, and feels like the doubles are going to be easy to navigate this year. Happy to risk it and get ahead of the. game.

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          For sure, it is appearing like the Blanks will be easier to navigate also and easy to hop on players for DGW’s with main culprits already got on a WC. I do think now is a good time to get ahead.

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Show your wildcard team. I’m not wildcarding but am intrigued

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…

        Above

    3. aapoman
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      So tempted as well. What team did you go with?

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…

    4. Plumbers Pan

      Oh yeah

    5. Arteta
      • 10 Years

      Enjoy! Have fun and pick some differentials just so it's more interesting to you.

  20. aapoman
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Team in shambles. WC draft #2

    Ederson
    Shaw Trippier Botman
    KDB Rashford Odegard Rodrigo
    Haaland Kane Nketiah

    Ward; White, Mitoma, Bueno

    1. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Very nice.

    2. cobybaby
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Gotta be Almiron for Rodrigo

    3. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Just not sure about Ederson but possibly worth it with 2 doubles

      1. aapoman
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Ddg also an option but feel like 3 City is a must. Not sure which of their defender to get since seems like none are nailed

    4. Wenger's Warriors
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same except I've got Martinelli instead of Rodrigo and Martial instead of Nketiah.
      Great minds...

      1. aapoman
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Not sure about Martial as rumors he is not fit

  21. gers23
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bench one please

    Martinelli

    Nketiah

    Almiron

  22. Gorky
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Felix looks decent though not sure he's a finisher

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Whole team looks toothless AF

    2. SkyByBo
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He's an upgrade on a pulisic/ziyech, Chelsea still massively short up front and the defence is a shambles as well

  23. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    This is actually gutting. Mitrovic would be having a field day… 🙁

  24. FCHaalandaise
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Gtg?

    Used 2 frees ...

    Pope
    Trippier Shaw* Akanji*
    KDB* Bruno* Rash* Almiron Martinelli
    Kane* Haaland*(C)

    Ward Ferguson Bueno Patterson

  25. Prinzhorn
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Quite sure this will be another Andreas blank.

  26. cobybaby
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kepa
    Shaw / Trippier / White
    Martinelli / KDB / Almiron / Rashford (C)
    Kane / Haaland / Mitro

    (Ward / Botman / Andreas / Patterson)

    1 FT, 2.5 ITB

    A) Roll
    B) Patterson to Pinnock (or Mee?), starting Pinnock/Mee over White

  27. Steve Stiffler
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Felix looks buzzing he signed anyways lol

  28. DaftPunk

    GW20: Play Odegaard or Mitoma? (other players have DGW)

    As a Liverpool fan, I worry about Mitoma exploiting the space that will inevitably be gifted to him.

    1. SkyByBo
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'd always start Odegaard, arguably the best player in the (currently) best team in the league

  29. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Two Fulham players in my team currently on a total of 6pts.

  30. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years

    People talk about replacing players ..this club hasn't been able to replace Drogba in over ten years
