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.

      King goal guaranteed

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        6 months, 7 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
          6 months, 7 days ago

          Yep same

    5. Kaneyonero

      JP hattrick with Cucu assists will suffice

      Estevao is my differential. Maybe a one week punt

      1. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 7 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
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Yet to touch the football.

      3. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Prolly on for 90 now

    12. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      Folks on FH4 can add 3 Liverpool players plus Isak.

      1. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Im on WC, good shout haha

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          6 months, 7 days ago

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

    13. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

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

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

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

        Just enjoy the football.

      2. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Sanchez Pedro and porro only ones for me today

    14. mayorofjamcity
      • 4 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

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

      1. Moon Dog
          6 months, 7 days ago

          Centre back

          Gusto effect

      2. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Cucurella defensive again with gusto starting.

        Too expensive for 6m

      3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

        Delap fail

        1. JT11fc
          • 7 Years
          6 months, 7 days ago

          Stink

        2. Pedersen
          • 7 Years
          6 months, 7 days ago

          Whom will play 9 then ?

      4. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Delap done his hammy, doesn't look good.

      5. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Delap hammy

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          6 months, 7 days ago

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

          Delap off, George on

      6. Kaneyonero
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Delap hammy

      7. Alexis Nonsense
        • 10 Years
        6 months, 7 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
          • 15 Years
          6 months, 7 days ago

          Yes

          1. Alexis Nonsense
            • 10 Years
            6 months, 7 days ago

            Ty

      8. Ballito
        • 2 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Delap pulled hamstring!

      9. Thanos
        • 4 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Chelsea needs to sign more players 😛

      10. Sif
        • 12 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Delapidated

        1. Marvin.
          • 9 Years
          6 months, 7 days ago

          His time on field has delapsed.

      11. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Pedro up top!

        Yeah boiiii!

      12. Nightcrawler
        • 6 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Pedro guaranteed 90 mins for a while now

        1. Moon Dog
            6 months, 7 days ago

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

        2. FPL Scoop
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 months, 7 days ago

          Maybe Nic Jackson will stay after all!

          1. chocolove
            • 15 Years
            6 months, 7 days ago

            Went to Muenchen

        3. Ruinenlust
          • 8 Years
          6 months, 7 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
            6 months, 7 days ago

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

        4. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          6 months, 7 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
            6 months, 7 days ago

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

            1. x.jim.x
              • 11 Years
              6 months, 7 days ago

              Chelsea won the Champions League this summer?

              1. Ruinenlust
                • 8 Years
                6 months, 7 days ago

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

                  • 11 Years
                  6 months, 7 days ago

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

                  1. Ruinenlust
                    • 8 Years
                    6 months, 7 days ago

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

                    1. x.jim.x
                      • 11 Years
                      6 months, 7 days ago

                      The PL champions didn’t even qualify for that farce

                      1. Ruinenlust
                        • 8 Years
                        6 months, 7 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

                          6 months, 7 days ago

                          How many current Chelsea players were in that CL winning side

        5. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          6 months, 7 days ago

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

          1. Moon Dog
              6 months, 7 days ago

              He's too young to play in that position imo

              1. Bobby Digital
                • 8 Years
                6 months, 7 days ago

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

          2. Pedersen
            • 7 Years
            6 months, 7 days ago

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

            1. Moon Dog
                6 months, 7 days ago

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

              • 7 Years
              6 months, 7 days ago

              No change in setup. George up top

              1. Bobby Digital
                • 8 Years
                6 months, 7 days ago

                Don't rate George at all
