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.

      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. JT11fc
      1 year, 1 month ago

    2. Cruyff's Eleven

  11. Tonyawesome69
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Folks on FH4 can add 3 Liverpool players plus Isak.

    1. JT11fc
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Im on WC, good shout haha

      1. Tonyawesome69
        1 year, 1 month 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
    1 year, 1 month ago

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

    1. Tonyawesome69
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

      Just enjoy the football.

    2. Gizzachance
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Sanchez Pedro and porro only ones for me today

  13. mayorofjamcity
    1 year, 1 month ago

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

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Centre back

      Gusto effect

  14. Nightcrawler
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Cucurella defensive again with gusto starting.

    Too expensive for 6m

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Delap fail

    1. JT11fc
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Stink

    2. Pedersen
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Whom will play 9 then ?

  16. Bobby Digital
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Delap done his hammy, doesn't look good.

  17. Tonyawesome69
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Delap hammy

    1. Tonyawesome69
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

      Delap off, George on

  18. Kaneyonero
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Delap hammy

  19. Alexis Nonsense
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Do we still carry over up to 5 transfers?

    Haven't read up on changes

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yes

      1. Alexis Nonsense
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Ty

  20. Ballito
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Delap pulled hamstring!

  21. Thanos
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Chelsea needs to sign more players 😛

  22. Sif
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Delapidated

    1. Marvin.
      1 year, 1 month ago

      His time on field has delapsed.

  23. Cruyff's Eleven
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Pedro up top!

    Yeah boiiii!

  24. Nightcrawler
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Pedro guaranteed 90 mins for a while now

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month 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
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Maybe Nic Jackson will stay after all!

    1. chocolove
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Went to Muenchen

  26. Ruinenlust
    1 year, 1 month ago

    What’s the point of loaning out Jackson then?

    Delap out means Pedro is the only striker they have

    1. Tonyawesome69
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

  27. x.jim.x
    1 year, 1 month ago

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

    1. Ruinenlust
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

      1. x.jim.x
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Chelsea won the Champions League this summer?

        1. Ruinenlust
          1 year, 1 month ago

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

          1. x.jim.x
            1 year, 1 month ago

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

            1. Ruinenlust
              1 year, 1 month ago

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

              1. x.jim.x
                1 year, 1 month ago

                The PL champions didn’t even qualify for that farce

                1. Ruinenlust
                  1 year, 1 month 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
                    1 year, 1 month ago

                    How many current Chelsea players were in that CL winning side

  28. Bobby Digital
    1 year, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

      He's too young to play in that position imo

      1. Bobby Digital
        1 year, 1 month ago

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

  29. Pedersen
    1 year, 1 month ago

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

    1. Moon Dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      He's the best hair in the league?

    3. The Knights Template
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Gullibility?

  30. Tonyawesome69
    1 year, 1 month ago

    No change in setup. George up top

    1. Bobby Digital
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Don't rate George at all

      1. Tonyawesome69
        1 year, 1 month ago

        19 years old with limited PL mins
