Chelsea v Fulham gets Gameweek 3 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) underway.

The team news couldn’t be simpler: both sides are unchanged from their last Premier League matches.

The Blues are, of course, without the injured Cole Palmer for this clash.

Reece James is only among the substitutes again, as Malo Gusto keeps his place at right-back.

Moises Caicedo is fit to start, despite only having his first training session of the week on Friday.

As for the Cottagers, Rodrigo Muniz retains his place up top despite a midweek goal for positional rival Raul Jimenez.

And budget FPL midfielder Josh King starts for the third league game in a row.

Harry Wilson is on the bench after shrugging off a midweek foot injury, while Antonee Robinson is also a substitute as he slowly builds up match fitness following his summer knee surgery.

LINE-UPS

Chelsea XI: Sanchez, Gusto, Tosin, Chalobah, Cucurella, Caicedo, Fernandez, Estevao, Joao Pedro, Neto, Delap.

Subs: Jorgensen, Acheampong, James, Fofana, Hato, Essugo, Santos, George, Gittens.

Fulham XI: Leno, Tete, Anderson, Bassey, Castagne, Lukic, Berge, Sessegnon, King, Iwobi, Muniz.

Subs: Lecomte, Cuenca, Robinson, Reed, Cairney, Adama, Wilson, Smith Rowe, Jimenez.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Yeah would've needed him to score that 1on1 last week when he came on for Palmer. No chance I'm getting him on this GW.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years

    1. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Hes so direct even off the bench he can return, hes in my freehit currently

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Yet to touch the football.

  11. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Folks on FH4 can add 3 Liverpool players plus Isak.

    1. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Im on WC, good shout haha

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        You would need to sell a Liverpool player (assuming Isak joins them) before making any other transfers after WC3

  12. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Only Kudus and Porro in action here today… yikes! Will avoid rank checks til tomorrow

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Not a fan of checking rank when the GW is still ongoing.

      Just enjoy the football.

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Sanchez Pedro and porro only ones for me today

  13. mayorofjamcity
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    I'm not watching, is Cucerulla playing centre-back or centre-forward today?

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Centre back

      Gusto effect

  14. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Cucurella defensive again with gusto starting.

    Too expensive for 6m

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Delap fail

    1. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Stink

    2. Pedersen
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Whom will play 9 then ?

  16. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Delap done his hammy, doesn't look good.

  17. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Delap hammy

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Oft hammy pinged on the run. He's done.

      Delap off, George on

  18. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Delap hammy

  19. Alexis Nonsense
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Do we still carry over up to 5 transfers?

    Haven't read up on changes

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Yes

      1. Alexis Nonsense
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 21 days ago

        Ty

  20. Ballito
    • 2 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Delap pulled hamstring!

  21. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Chelsea needs to sign more players 😛

  22. Sif
    • 13 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Delapidated

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      His time on field has delapsed.

  23. Cruyff's Eleven
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Pedro up top!

    Yeah boiiii!

  24. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Pedro guaranteed 90 mins for a while now

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 22 days ago

      He walked off okay, and there's a couple of weeks until GW4. He might only miss 1 GW.

  25. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Maybe Nic Jackson will stay after all!

    1. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Went to Muenchen

  26. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    What’s the point of loaning out Jackson then?

    Delap out means Pedro is the only striker they have

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Chelsea will buy/loan another player or 2 before the transfer deadline

  27. x.jim.x
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Yeah but they get to have a shiny CWC badge on their shirts, so it was definitely worth it

    1. Ruinenlust
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Winning the biggest trophy in club football is worth it, yes

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        Chelsea won the Champions League this summer?

        1. Ruinenlust
          • 8 Years
          10 months, 22 days ago

          The World Cup is the biggest trophy in club football. Hope that helps

          1. x.jim.x
            • 11 Years
            10 months, 22 days ago

            Not even Infantino himsefl would say that with a straight face, tinpot trophy for Yanks

            1. Ruinenlust
              • 8 Years
              10 months, 22 days ago

              Somebody’s mad that their tiny club wasn’t good enough to qualify

              1. x.jim.x
                • 11 Years
                10 months, 22 days ago

                The PL champions didn’t even qualify for that farce

                1. Ruinenlust
                  • 8 Years
                  10 months, 22 days ago

                  Why should England get a free spot to the World Cup?

                  You have to be champions of your continent to qualify. Liverpool would have qualified if they didn’t get destroyed in Europe every season lol

                  1. x.jim.x
                    • 11 Years
                    10 months, 22 days ago

                    How many current Chelsea players were in that CL winning side

  28. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Why doesn't he put Estevao in the hole, Pedro up top, Neto RW and Gittens LW?

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 22 days ago

      He's too young to play in that position imo

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        Yeah could be, I just think George is pants...

  29. Pedersen
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    Why was I talked into getting center back Cucurella...

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Because he might be a centre forward in the next game.

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      He's the best hair in the league?

    3. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Gullibility?

  30. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 22 days ago

    No change in setup. George up top

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 22 days ago

      Don't rate George at all

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        10 months, 22 days ago

        19 years old with limited PL mins
