Double Gameweek 22 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway at Stamford Bridge tonight, as Chelsea host west London rivals Fulham.

Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.

Graham Potter makes three changes from the side that drew 0-0 at Anfield in Gameweek 21, with Reece James, British record signing Enzo Fernandez and Mykhailo Mudryk coming in for Trevoh Chalobah, Jorginho – who has since left for Arsenal – and Lewis Hall.

James makes his first start since Gameweek 17 after recovering from injury, with fellow full-back Ben Chilwell making an appearance on the bench alongside Raheem Sterling.

Joao Felix, meanwhile, is still suspended.

As for Fulham, they are unchanged from Gameweek 21, with Andreas Pereira and Aleksandar Mitrovic both included in Marco Silva’s 4-2-3-1 formation.

However, new signings Sasa Lukic and Cedric Soares are not included in the matchday squad.

        In reality it's so harsh. Mere seconds between a 100k rank difference.

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

    1. Sif
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

  12. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Sometimes team leaks are bad thing, unlucky owners.

    Remember it with a Salah benching a few years ago...

  13. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years

    Classic FPL

  14. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years

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

          Thank you kindly.

  20. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Chelski still not much better than pool, tot, with all them players signed an money spent

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

    Fulham's defence has improved while their attack has waned a bit

    1. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same as Liverpool then,
      Only their defence didnt improve...

  22. JBG
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wonder if Sterling regrets leaving City haha.

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

      He's not good enough to play for City.

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Better than Grealish and Mahrez

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      £285k week 5 yr deal doing fine

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

        Is he really earning that much!?

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

      Ironically he'd be far more suited to the way City play this year.

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

    When will Kepa get his 3rd save

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

      7 more passes will really help.

    2. Mirror Man

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      This GW is the first one in 3 seasons where I don't have a Liverpool player.

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

        Good on u!

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

        Why have you been holding on so long?!

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

          Always felt there were other fires to put out, but couldn't in all seriousness justify keeping Salah any longer when Bruno has a DGw and United are in hot form.

      3. jacob1989

        i just sold salah to saka

      4. Free Hat

        Where are the days you were scared shitless even not captaining Salah, let alone didnt own him...

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

          Them days is long gone now.

      Potter was good for Brighton, not for Chelsea
      Apart from Alan Pardew and Eddie Howe I can’t see any other decent English managers

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Phil Parkinson

    6. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No outrage on the James 59:31 mins sub....

    7. fusen
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Medical science says 60 minutes is the point at when players fatigue, so managers will often make subs at that point.

      When the clock shows 59 minutes, that is 60 minutes have passed due to 0 seconds to 59 seconds being the 'first minute'.

      So basically it's entirely expected for a 59:40 second (for example) substitution to happen as the coaches are following the 60 minute fatigue rule.

      FPL should match up the 60th minute to everyone else's and require just 59 minutes on the clock

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

        He's 59 until he's 60.

      2. Tcheco
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        You shouldn’t have brought James in so soon

        1. fusen
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          He's my first sub. I actually entirely predicted this -

        only if i get my White CS pts back

        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I don't disagree with the rest of your post, but I am questioning your medical science claims if you think 60 minutes have passed when the clock is showing 59

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

      Worked late. How did Mudryk look?

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

        Crap

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

        Grand, tried stuff and it didn't come off.

        Might have a knock, weird sub if not.
