We’re six games down and we’re still awaiting our first clean sheet of Gameweek 29.

There’ll be a lot of Fantasy managers hoping for a shut-out in the final match of the day, with Ben Chilwell and Kepa Arrizabalaga widely owned.

Ollie Watkins is a fairly popular pick himself, of course, so there’ll be plenty of us with divided loyalties in the clash at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea v Aston Villa is the evening kick-off, which gets underway at 17:30 BST.

Graham Potter makes three changes to the side that he sent out in Gameweek 28 as Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Mykhailo Mudryk and Marc Cucurella are recalled to the line-up.

Wesley Fofana misses out through injury while Christian Pulisic and Benoit Badisashile are benched.

Kai Havertz and Reece James pulled out of their national team squads with illness and injury respectively but are fit to start.

Potter confirmed ahead of kick-off that James is playing as a centre-half in a back three, with Loftus-Cheek deployed as a wing-back.

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery make two changes to the side that beat Bournemouth 3-0 two weeks ago.

Ashley Young is in for the injured Matty Cash, while Boubacar Kamara returns from his own lay-off to oust the benched Leon Bailey.

GAMEWEEK 29 LINE-UPS

Chelsea XI: Kepa, James, Koulibaly, Cucurella, Chilwell, Enzo, Kovacic, Loftus-Cheek, Mudryk, Joao Felix, Havertz

Subs: Bettinelli, Badiashile, Kante, Pulisic, Chalobah, Mount, Gallagher, Chukwuemeka, Madueke

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Young, Mings, Konsa, Moreno, McGinn, Luiz, Kamara, Buendia, Ramsey, Watkins

Subs: Sinisalo, Wright, Carlos, Traore, Chambers, Palacio, Digne, Bailey, Dendoncker

    Kane autosub in for Haaland, fingers crossed Chilwell misses the second game so I get Mings points off the bench

      Autosubs are a bit buggy, Salah got 0 in gw27 and I didn't get Gabriel's 14 pts from bench...

      1. Road Runner
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 days ago

        Salah missed a penalty

        1. Bartowski

          Wrong username to fall into such an obvious trap...

      Rushing in to get the Brighton manager has worked out well for them so far.

  5. A Fat Spanish Waiter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    It was an afterthought almost, but Mings has turned out to be my best GW 26 wildcard pickup in terms of rank boost. Wish I could claim skill on that, but I cant.

    1. WATERMELONS
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Take it all day long my rotund friend

    2. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years

  6. Bonus magnet

    Does anyone know why Aubameyang doesn’t start for Potter’s Chelsea ?

    1. Bada Bing
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      Auba is probably still partying with his mates at Barca.

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      He got sacked fro Ars first and probably hasn't improved.

    3. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 days ago

      is he still at chelsea ??

  7. Sun God Nika
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 days ago

    Is shaw confirmed out ?

    Rivals have him

      1. Sun God Nika
        • 5 Years
