Gameweek 30 comes to a close this evening at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea v Tottenham Hotspur gets underway at 20:00 BST.

For the hosts, it is a chance to move into the top four, while Spurs are desperate for a win, with just three in their last 13 league matches.

Chelsea are bolstered by the return of Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson.

Those two are among four changes made by Enzo Maresca, who has also brought in Trevoh Chalobah and Malo Gusto.

Wesley Fofana misses out, while Benoit Badiashile, Reece James and Christopher Nkunku drop to the bench.

Noni Madueke is also named among the substitutes.

Ange Postecoglou, meanwhile, makes five changes from the side that lost 2-0 to Fulham prior to the international break.

Micky van de Ven, Lucas Bergvall, James Maddison, Wilson Odobert and Son Heung-min come in for Ben Davies, Yves Bissouma, Archie Gray, Brennan Johnson and Mathys Tel.

LINE-UPS

Chelsea XI: Sanchez, Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella, Caicedo, Enzo, Neto, Palmer, Sancho, Jackson

Subs: Jorgensen, Tosin, Badiashile, Acheampong, James, Dewsbury-Hall, Madueke, George, Nkunku

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Vicario, Spence, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie, Bergvall, Bentancur, Odobert, Maddison, Son, Solanke

Subs: Kinsky, Porro, Davies, Gray, Bissouma, Sarr, Moore, Johnson, Tel

    Hello all

    What’s the consensus for people with the following chips left please

    WC / FH / BB ?

    Top of mini leagues, but can’t figure out most productive way to use the chips

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      I saw lots planning for WC31 BB32/33 FH34

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 1 day ago

        Yup this

    2. djman102

      1 year, 1 day ago

      FWIW, I'm did WC30 (31 works as well), BB32, FH33.

      Pending injuries, I can get 13/15 players in 32 who either double or play a bottom 5 club.

      And with 2 transfers (Mateta/Munoz --> Jiminez/Robinson), I can get a full 11 for 34.

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      I don’t think he’s worth the chopping and changing to bring back just for Ipswich

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 1 day ago

        Don't have him right now but will get him if I FH in 33

  19. FPL Sanky

    Postecoglou been very disappointing as Spurs manager. They are on course to lose half their PL games this season. When you have a squad as good as they have you got to be in fighting for a Europa League place at least and losing that many games is not really on.

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      Pochetino back soon

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      They've been shocking this season but have had a lot of injuries, he finished 5th last season. Got a feeling Poch will be back at some point though.

    3. Kinder Mbueno
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      Can't believe he hasn't been sacked

  23. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    What a goal!

  24. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Looks offside

  25. space mercenary
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Might be offside

  26. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    I wouldn’t be too confident picking Frank AM

    1. Supersonic_
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      Oops

  27. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Offside

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      only took 4 minutes

  28. BIGREDDOG
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    VAR ruining a beautiful goal

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 1 day ago

      Damn rules

  29. thegame983
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    The absolute state of VAR. It was obviously offside

  30. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 day ago

    Palmer current on 2 bps, so if CS remains he’ll match Saka
