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.

      Pedro Owners but non capper we want a haul now?

      no idea about captaincy but his ownership was over 60 last i checked

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

        One goal is enough

      2. Moon Dog
          6 months, 8 days ago

          His EO is below 100%. So we want him to score as much as possible.

          • 14 Years
          6 months, 8 days ago

          106% EO but that's in the top 10k as so most likely you want him to haul

        Fulham goal should have been allowed. It was not a clear and obvious foul. Chalobah ran into the Fulham player.

        2nd Chelsea goal should have not been allowed. Pedro handball followed by foul on Iwobi (identical to the foul that was disallowed for Fulhams goal).

        Really poor from VAR. Also referees should use their own brain, just because VAR thinks its a foul doesnt mean it is!

        1. #1 Salah Hater
          • 1 Year
          6 months, 8 days ago

          He was sent to the monitor on both occasions to watch in super slow motion. He had more than enough opportunity to use his own brain if he had one.

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

            Exactly. He saw the fouls and should have disagreed with VAR. Issue is on field referees get pressured to agree with VAR when called to the screen, hence why everyone knew a penalty would be given as soon as he was told to go to the screen. Before that he had awarded a free kick as he saw no foul.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 months, 8 days ago

        Dorgu is definitely coming on to ruin any chance of a proper sub

        1. Sebbo29
          • 11 Years

          yeah so annoying!

      9. chocolove
        • 15 Years

        Sorry, but is Bassey overweight for a professional footballer?

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

          No he's just jacked

        2. #1 Salah Hater
          • 1 Year
          6 months, 8 days ago

          No he's been like that since he was at Rangers

        3. x.jim.x
          • 11 Years
          6 months, 8 days ago

          Yes, Fulham should be relegated for failing to adhere to the league’s weight requirements

          1. chocolove
            • 15 Years
            6 months, 8 days ago

            Just a glimpse of Wes Morgan

          Who cares he's quality

            • 15 Years

            Lol. The weakest link at Fulham back line

      10. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 8 days ago

        Chalobah the new Gabriel

        1. FantasyTony
          • 8 Years
          6 months, 8 days ago

          He looks good

        2. Randy_Marsh
          • 15 Years
          6 months, 8 days ago

          no one forgot to mention he bagged an assist there

          1. JT11fc
            • 7 Years
            6 months, 8 days ago

            Corner threat plays a good through ball

      11. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 months, 8 days ago

        Interesting how much the pros favour Bruno for the armband

        https://x.com/LiveFPLnet/status/1961747896405000218?t=HwFjHo8Orw5j4jnP_OaAiQ&s=19
        The Elite sample (managers with consistent high finishes) have the following captaincy percentages:

        1- Bruno 46.5%
        2- Haaland 14.7%
        3- Wood 14.2%
        4- Salah 10.7%
        5- Joao Pedro + Cunha 5.1%

        1. JT11fc
          • 7 Years
          6 months, 8 days ago

          I wonder if the "elite" managers are playing it tok safe this season

        2. FantasyTony
          • 8 Years
          6 months, 8 days ago

          He was a penalty miss from a haul last week and playing at home to a newly promoted team.

          He’s the best pick if you have him.

        3. g40steve
          • 7 Years
          6 months, 8 days ago

          Lets see end of play.

        4. fusen
          • 14 Years
          6 months, 8 days ago

          He's traditionally scored a decent average score over the season and he's against a promoted team so the models and just sort of "safe sensible" decisions based off historical data would say he's a good choice.

          Must be a group think/hivemind thing

        Double Chelsea defense better hold.up

        1. Supersonic_
          • 4 Years
          6 months, 8 days ago

          Got Sanchez. So I'm okay with this

        2. Moon Dog
            6 months, 8 days ago

            You'll get it 100%

        3. Supersonic_
          • 4 Years
          6 months, 8 days ago

          More from Pedro please.

          Bruno, time to shine later lad

        4. La Roja

          Cucu wants a yc

        5. FantasyClub
          • 5 Years
          6 months, 8 days ago

          Don’t really like Cucus performance

        6. Woy_is_back
          • 8 Years
          6 months, 8 days ago

          Dropped Pedro on FH. Richarlison, Wood and Haaland should do better though

          1. Dannyb
            • 8 Years
            6 months, 8 days ago

            I find if a player I drop scores then I've ucked fup

            1. Woy_is_back
              • 8 Years
              6 months, 8 days ago

              Idk, he could be scoring only 7. Chalobah and Enzo catching up on baps

        7. jwong23
          • 10 Years
          6 months, 8 days ago

          Neto is killing the flow of the attack

        8. Differentiator
          • 10 Years
          6 months, 8 days ago

          Cucurella 1 from Defcon?

        9. #1 Salah Hater
          • 1 Year
          6 months, 8 days ago

          Fulham are a quality striker and an Iwobi upgrade away from being a really good team.

        10. More Tragic
          • 10 Years

          J pedro non owners very lucky. Should have easily had a 20 pointer. Had he taken a penalty and buried 1 of his numerous chances

            As a bon-owner I cant say I feel lucky, he's killing my rank. I guess I have to cave in and just get him

          Cmon chalobah top of the baps

          Have Pedro too but prefer him as the captainers
