Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea is our next Premier League match of the day, a fixture that the Blues tend to perform well in.

In fact, penalty shootouts aside, Chelsea have avoided defeat in 16 of their last 17 meetings with the Lilywhites.

Compared to last weekend’s 3-0 win over Everton, Thomas Frank has made two changes to his starting XI.

    Any chance Haaland or semenyo miss out ?
    Have Caicedo 1st sub

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Surely Haaland outscores a poverty assist?

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Yeah just like last week

  2. thegaffer82

    A catalogue of errors from the Spurs defense there. No wonder Thomas Frank was booting a water bottle.
    I’m still glad I sold JP! He’s still crap. He will still continue to blank when not handed a goal on a plate

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Yep. Sold him for Mateta, no regrets at all.

  3. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    Pedro to mateta was waste of transfer!
    Pedro still got time to get more to

    Trolled by Watkins Roger’s wirtz Pedro

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Pedro has trolled me for a season and a half now, along with Sarr

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Sarr is the biggest troll in the history of the game

        1. tucaoneo
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          I blame the league though. They should let him play Liverpool every week.

      2. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Same last season sarr Pedro Roger’s semenyo, troll you when there on your benches, or you sell ha

      3. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        You didn't have Sarr during any of his 8 goals 7 assists last season?

        1. Fifa las vegas
          • 13 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          One or two maybe, but mostly not actually! In and out at the worst possible moments most of the time!

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Not a waste at all. Mateta is a much better option than JP

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Hopefully , Pedro got fixtures after this, I didn’t want go back down the Watkins wirtz routes etc!

  4. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    Nearly want JP back for Wolves now next week

  5. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    ML rival kept JP and did Woltemade -> Mateta.

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      I was deliberating that but just got Woltemade last week, and did need some funds.

      Will have to make do with Welbeck. Not sure he’ll match them in the coming weeks though

  6. Yes Ndidi

    Absolute top quality trolling by JP there.

    1. Ignasi M
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      he could have scored two - annoying

  7. WVA
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    Having the worst season of my life. My WC has ended it for me.

    Saka over Bruno
    Sarr of Minteh
    Enzo over Caicedo
    Pope
    Bowen

    1. Ignasi M
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Yeah, loads of goals are being scored from set pieces. I'm replacing saka with rice. Saka been poor all season, apart from champs league.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Looking at fixtures I’ll probably go with Minteh over Rice

  8. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    Loath Pedro and Gyokeres. Had the teo of them for weeks with blanks every game.

  9. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    I have no idea how to play this game .
    Joao pedro looked like an obvious 'sell ' , so i sold him .

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      It’s all luck

    2. Ignasi M
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      everyone did

  10. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    am i being too harsh or do spurs just not really have 1 decent striker while having 4 options to play there?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Solanke is good

      1. Ignasi M
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        injury prone like Isak

      2. F4L
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        fair, shame about his injury issues. think he was just run into the ground last season so performances maybe dropped off abit because of that. he started the season very strong iirc

  11. fedolefan
    • 11 Years

    Pedro is still 45% owned. FO.

  12. Mom, Butters just gave me a…

    If this was an American football game, yellow flags would be thrown all over the place.

    But this ref here today seems quite laid back. Did he even bring his whistle? Cards are still at the poker table from last night. Crazy.

  13. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    Pedro another sitter

  14. F4L
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 1 day ago

    pedro very close again

  15. Mom, Butters just gave me a…

    JP is warming up

  16. g40steve
    • 8 Years

    Go away JP

  17. ChelseaGuy

    Joao Pedro 3 SOT in last 15mins after everyone selling him for going games without a SOT

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Feels like when I sold VDV last week after weeks on weeks of 0’s, 1’s and 2’s. Then boom 23 points out of absolutely nowhere 🙂

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      8 games without a shoot on target. Been shocking.

    3. Voronins Pony Tail
      • 2 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Just proves as alway, this whole game is 90% luck, 10% judgement.

      Nobody’s crystal ball works.

      1. ChelseaGuy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Judgement gets you consistent Good ranks, but to get within the Top 1k, luck plays a huge role

    4. NoOneCares
        7 months, 1 day ago

        He is bang average and a terrible pick.

    5. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Pedro keepers redeemed!

    6. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      VDV surely owns Chelsea assets

    7. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      That’s a red card

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        borderline, maybe height saves him but alot of force

    8. GoonerGirl
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Seriously J.Pedro? I've had you since the beginning and now when I remove you for being rubbish from my team, you go and score. Everytime lol.

    9. Bada Bing
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      VDV is having an absolute shocker, tried to gift another goal.

    10. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Hand bags

    11. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      1.6m managers sold Joao Pedro this week
      1.6m managers bought Mbeumo this week
      Classic FPL

    12. Thanos
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Damn! That’s a RC challenge. Lucky lucky boy Bentancur

    13. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      was it caicedo who put in a similar challenge in this fixture last season and got away with it?

    14. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Spurs coming out on top with that Bentancur foul

    15. Sting
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      reversion to the mean. quality players don’t blank all season.

      in a way, selling after a load of blanks in a row increases the probability of your sold asset firing

      most of my recent transfers have backfired. i was scoring better when rolling transfers

      1. ChelseaGuy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        This!

    16. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      Come on Kudus, give us a parting goal!

      1. Ignasi M
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Yea. Spurs' recruitment has been trash again. Xavi Simons reminds me of Arsenal's Denilson. remember him?

      2. Thanos
        • 4 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        He is useless

        1. Ignasi M
          • 8 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          the sad thing though is that he's Spurs' best and most threatening player.

    17. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 1 day ago

      I mean.. Pedro and Gyokeres are nailed strikers in top PL sides. If you sold its your own fault
