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

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years

      Stick to a standard four at the back with more forward players & stop playing around at the back to miss the opposition press

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

      If your team's main issues can be fixed with one hit, or you're not sure of who you're buying

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Many reasons

    3. GENERATION X

    5. The Mighty Hippo

    6. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nah. You'll end up 4m by Feb.

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Cucurella sighting

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Great, 1pt matters

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah especially when you've only got 45 so far

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

          That many? Impressive!

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

    Really wish I didn’t have Kepa starting this GW

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

      Coming up.

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

        May play Ward instead.

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

      Ederson on my bench laughing at me

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

        He's laughing because he's going to do the same to you next GW when you play him instead of Kepa.

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

    Mount you bloody dingbat

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

    Mount subbed

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

    Fulham on a serious roll and now I’m not sure this is the week to bring in Schar / Birman to partner Trippier.

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

      Mitro bound to score as everyone sells for Kane

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

      Newcastle a FAR better defence though. Think putting me off if the upcoming blank GW they'll have soon, whilst others have doubles before even that.

    3. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Well played Fulham

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

    Friendly reminder everyone:

    Betis - Barcelona has gone on to penalties! Don’t miss it. Supercopa semi final match.

  15. sentz05
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    James, Andreas and Nunez out
    Shaw, Rashford and Martial in
    -4?

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

      Id hold Andreas.
      Tougb to match the cost per value ratio.
      Use the funds elsewhere
      Shaw is a good add

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        agree

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Martial not seen in training. Could be nothing, but unsure.

  16. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    There are mount owners out there???

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Andy FPL

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

      Norco

      1. Norco
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Pain. I love pain

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

      Somehow hanging on in my team

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        My condolences.

  17. Norco
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Get the hell out of my team Mount

  18. BUZZBOMB ♡
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Gallagher on. Only CHE bright spot in recent weeks.

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

      Increases the second RC liklihood too.

  19. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Barca vs Betis pens soon on BT2.

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

    Fulham up to 6th 😮

  21. Norco
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who's the priority to get in?

    1. Almiron
    2. Odegaard (have Martinelli)

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      2 easy. I'm considering removing Almiron

  22. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Tuchel: 10 pts in 6 games
    Potter: 15pts in 12 games
    Potter is a likeable person but he is doing pretty bad at Chelsea. Despite all the injuries he still has quiet a few decent players and he hasn’t managed yet to give this team a certain way of playing

  23. MJF
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Chelsea will do better to finish outside all of the European places. Last time they did that they won the title the following season.

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Lol

      Yeah lightning won't strike twice.

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

        Not saying it will but no Europe is better than being in the EL or EC for league performance IMO.

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Agree - look to regroup with no European games -unless Chelsea win the Champions league!

  24. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    They’re saying Felix came for work experience

  25. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Cucu cant kick the ball very hard

  26. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wildcard this?

    Kepa, Ward
    Cancelo, Trippier, Cucu, White, Patterson
    KDB, Rashford, Martinelli, Trossard, Andreas
    Haaland, Darwin, Mitro

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

      No

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No chance. Take a -8

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nah, use transfers to get rid of Tross, Cancelo.

    4. Norco
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why?

      Just get rid of Cucu, Trossard as priority

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I have 1 nailed defender and 5 attackers?

        1. Norco
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Cucu + Trossard > Botman + Odegaard

          That gives you:

          Tripps Botman White (assuming Cancelo doesn't start)
          KDB Rash Martinelli Olegaard
          Haaland Mitro Darwin

          If Darwin doesn't start than Andreas will. Not that hard man.

          Worst case, take a hit.

    5. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Hahahaha you're joking right

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

    Chukwumenka looks like the only good signing Boehly has made…

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
