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.

    Kepa outscoring Haaland over last three gameweeks

    (yes I'm taking Kep GW20-22 and Haaland GW19-21 but what's a good stat without some moderate data manipulation)

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      And even better when it's top of the page 🙂

  2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo

    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kepa you legend.

  3. el polako
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is 3 or Z on Chelsea shirts?

  4. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Leno really only had one save?

    Chelsea under Potter are shocking.

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      They need more players.

  5. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years

    Just seeing livefpl ownership. As a Rashford captainer looks like im wanting a Haaland + Rashford blank

  6. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 2 months ago

    Leno.

  7. Hairy Potter
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Didn't it take a few seasons for Potter's Brighton team to have a goal threat?

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

      Yeah, when he left.

    2. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Hairy Potter

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

    Havertz isn't a forward or a 10. I'm not sure he's suited to any position. Maybe the bench.

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      From what I remember in Bundesliga he played more like a box to box, making a lot of late runs into to the box which were bringing him goals.

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

        Reminds me of Donny. He makes good runs into the box but doesn't really contribute enough elsewhere.

        https://chelseanews.com/blog/is-kai-havertz-better-when-he-plays-as-a-number-10-these-five-stats-suggest-he-isnt/

        Low progressive passes, low progressive carries, low shot creating actions...

    2. FF Dirtbag
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don't get why they don't play sterling there... He did it well at City.

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

      The new Phil Jones?

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Who?

    4. Snake Juice
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He wants to be Thomas Muller but doesn't have the facilities

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

        More Muller Rice than Thomas Muller.

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

      £75m transfer that was. Chelsea have signed so many flops that have gone under the radar.

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

        A flop who won them the Champions League?

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

          If you think Havertz isn’t a flop because of 1 goal, then I don’t know what to tell you

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

            1 goal?

            He also scored the goal that won them the Club World Cup

            He’s already won Chelsea the biggest trophies in club football.

            Not bad for a “flop” lmao

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

              So 2 goals?

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

            Will take that UCL win over City any day. Will always get props for that! 😎

    6. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The weirdest part of it for me is how it looks like Aubameyang has been ostracised now but he's the only actual CF, and I'm not sure the likes of Mudryk and definitely Felix will play well off of someone that wants to drift into deeper positions so often.

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

        They’re building a team for the future

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

        Sorry but Aubameyang has been equally poor. Often can't do a full 90 either. A lot of it stems from poor quality of chances we create & 'slow' tactics employed. A lot of the players we have signed definitely seem faster/more direct, which I think is needed.

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

    Chances of a Ward 10 pointer? Asking for a friend.

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      0%. I own him (:

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

        That high?

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

      Less than Ramsdale 12 pointer.

    3. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If he gets more than two I might cry with happiness.

    Kepa last 3 games:

    Why did I listen to the person who told me to go Ederson over Kepa on WC

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

      because you dont trust your own decisions

  14. LarryDuff
    • 10 Years

    That was a cracking game to be fair

  15. Freshy

    fulham payroll - £58,748,000

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

      No

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 8 Years

        🙂

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

      Not really. One of the fixtures is Arsenal. Overhyped DGW.

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

      dont think so
      Im on Haaland only

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I only have Haaland right now and I'm not really interested in getting another

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

        Id like to get Mahrez but I still have scars from stepping in that trap multiple times

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          He's the only one I may consider, guess I'll see how Sunday goes

    5. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years

      Take a hit for one

    6. GreennRed

      No.

    7. Eleven Hag
      • 8 Years

      Cheers guyz

      Would you get any other city defender over Ake?

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Akanji, eh!

  20. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Did Badishile to james 30 second before deadline and he comes off 30 second before 60min fml

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Never trust James

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

      Your predictions aren't turning out so well lately.

  21. banskt
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    The first game of Chelsea and 10 pts is becoming a bad habit.

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

    Only Bruno Fernandes points can make this GW any worse

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      There are 10 games left and the first game finished 0-0, how badly can that game really have impacted you?

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

        Lived every minute of that Kepa 10 pointer. Still raw.

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

      2 easy home games. One of them someone he loves scoring against. You're not gonna be happy

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

    transferring Cucu out last week hurts

  24. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    How come Mudryk went off at half time?

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

      Chelsea are allowed to make unlimited subs

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

      he was lost

    3. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      En-route to the Emirates

    4. Disco Stu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Because he wasn't doing anything and GP has 20 other players to try and get playing time for

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

      Commentator said he had a knock. However he wasn't able to be very effective so presumably a little of A & a little of B.

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

      Financial Fair Play

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

      They're spreading his minutes out over 8 seasons.

  25. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Better transfer? Already have White and Martinelli.

    Mitrovic -> Nketiah
    Bruno -> Odergard or Saka

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

      Nketiah

  26. banskt
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Early transfer question:

    Martinelli ➝ Odegaard is the only sensible move for GW23, correct?

    Kepa
    Trippier, Botman, Shaw
    Saka, Martinelli, KDB, Mahrez
    Haaland, Nketiah, Mitrovic

    (Ward, Rashford, Martinez, Patterson)

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

      I’d play Rashford over Mitro without a shadow of a doubt

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

        But, Mitrovic plays against Forest at home. While Rashford is away to Leeds. I could also keep Martinelli, switch Patterson to James and bench boost.

  27. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kepa ownership is 7.4%
    Why is it so low? 44 points since the restart for a 4.6m keeper is huge

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

      People wanted Ederson for the double games. Pope for Newcastle defense. And, in general, managers do not want to spend FT for goalkeepers.

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

      It's 35% in top10k

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

      Mendy back on the grass

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

        It will be heroin after that Kepa showing

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

          Kepa was poor imo. Mendy should come back in.

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

      Dead teams & fact he's not at the top of the GK (total) rankings. Pope was up there and keeping cleanies so masses see him at the top and (by-and-large) had gone there.

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

      Im all for keeping it that way

    6. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Over one third of active teams own him
      Total stats are not very relevant due to dead teams ...

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

    Feel dirty. Just took a -8 but I had exact cash.

    Walker, Bruno, Andreas >
    Mings, Mahrez and Saka

    Good call?

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

      Decent... Will give you a benching headache tho?

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

        Nah, I still have Mitro due to GW25… I’ll bench him as much as I can

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Silly IMO to do a -8 when all 6 players haven't played but hey

  29. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Knew it was worth transferring out Kepa for Ederson for those extra fixtures, even though city not keeping Cs

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

    Chelsea fans fear not Felix will be back next week. Maybe you'll finally score.
