Chelsea attackers disappoint ahead of Blank Gameweek 31

Chelsea options put on a largely unconvincing performance in their audition for Blank Gameweek 31 investment.

Despite dominating the shot count against Wolves on Sunday afternoon, they were forced to rescue a late point in dramatic fashion.

With the Blues travelling to Everton next weekend, Fantasy managers will be keen to invest but it’s hard to pick out any options offering acceptable form.

We’ve assessed their best options and how they got on against Wolves in Gameweek 30…

Chelsea 1-1 Wolves

Goals: Eden Hazard (£10.9m) | Raúl Jiménez (£6.8m)

Assists: Willian (£7.1m) | Diogo Jota (£6.1m)

Eden Hazard‘s (£10.9m) dramatic equalising goal was his first scored against a team outside the Premier League relegation zone since Gameweek 19. That is the sort of concerning form the Belgian is in ahead of Blank Gameweek 31, for which he has already been signed by 50,000+ managers. While Hazard was the saviour for Chelsea, his performance against Wolves did not especially inspire confidence in him for Sunday’s trip to Everton.

No player had more touches inside the penalty box at Stamford Bridge in Gameweek 30 than Hazard, but he did not register a single shot there. In fact, his late equaliser was his only effort of the match. Furthermore, two of his colleagues created more chances than him, although none of his colleagues has played as many key passes in the last four Gameweeks. Crucially, all his toils against Wolves made for an expected goals (xG) score of just 0.02.

“Hazard is a great player who can solve the situation in any moment, but during the match, he was like the other players. He needs more movement without the ball, not only when he has the ball at his feet. But this is the same for all the players today, especially the offensive players.” – Maurizio Sarri

Gonzalo Higuaín (£9.6m) continues to frustrate those who jumped on his bandwagon as soon as he arrived in the country. As per usual, the Argentinian racked up the shots against Wolves, registering more than double of any other player on the Stamford Bridge pitch, but quality chances were at a premium. Four of his six efforts were inside the box but just two were on target, but most importantly his xG score for being the game’s top shooter was just 0.34.

Over the last four Gameweeks, just four of Higuaín’s 15 efforts have been accurate, suggesting he still has some work to do. So far, he has only scored against Huddersfield and Fulham, the two worst sides in the division, and will be hoping that Everton can be as obliging in Gameweek 31. Much like Hazard, he goes into the depleted round of fixtures offering a little discouragement for those interested in him.

Despite playing 90 minutes against Dynamo Kyiv, and Willian (£7.1m) getting some rest in the final quarter of that match, Pedro (£6.3m) kept his place against Wolves. He was by far the most influential player on the pitch in the Europa League but was unable to recreate that on Sunday afternoon. Like Hazard, he had just one shot which was taken from outside of the penalty box.

With Chelsea chasing the game from the 56th minute, Maurizio Sarri was forced into some changes in the second half. Matteo Kovačić (£5.7m) had been largely anonymous during his time on the pitch and was replaced by Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.2m) for the final 35 minutes of the match. The England international made a decent impact with his drive from midfield and added some goal threat too. Despite his limited pitch-time, only Higuaín finished the afternoon with more shots in the box than Loftus-Cheek, who also created the same number of chances as Hazard did at Stamford Bridge.

The consistency Loftus-Cheek has shown in his rare appearances for Chelsea this season should probably see him start in Blank Gameweek 31, especially with Kovačić and Ross Barkley (£5.1m) offering little in recent weeks. We will have to see how heavily he is involved in Thursday’s Europa League trip to Ukraine first though. Callum Hudson-Odoi (£4.2m) was also added to the fray at Pedro’s expense but was unable to contribute as much as Loftus-Cheek.

“We started (the substitutions) with Loftus-Cheek because, in my opinion, we needed more physical impact in the opposition box. Then Odoi because it was impossible to change our match in that moment of the match, so it was really very important to have a player very able in one against one. Then, in the end, we changed for the first time in the season the system, and played 4-2-3-1 for the last 20 minutes. But it’s not easy, of course, because the problem wasn’t the system, but our way of playing. We need to move the ball faster. We cannot play five or six touches in that situation. It’s very difficult to score if you do.” – Maurizio Sarri

Probably to the encouragement of some, Sarri’s favouring of Jorginho (£4.7m) continued to wane against Wolves. The Italian was substituted around the 70-minute mark for the second Premier League match in a row. According to the manager, this was not because he was necessarily playing poorly but because of the movement of those around Jorginho not helping him play his game. It must be said that the former Napoli midfielder changed some of the perception around him with his performance against Wolves. He has been criticised for playing too many sideways passes this season but was often looking for direct forward balls to Higuaín and Pedro in Gameweek 30, who squandered the opportunities that fell their way. Jorginho was still too slow in the way he distributed the ball but this was a display from Chelsea that demonstrated that he is not the only one to blame for their problems in possession in 2018/19.

“Jorginho, if the other players don’t move without the ball, is in trouble. He is really very able to play at one touch, but if you want to play one touch you need movements from the other players. Then, in the last 20 minutes, Jorginho is not suitable for 4-2-3-1. So it was only a consequence of the change of system, not the performance. I know him very well. He can go in trouble if all the rest of the team are not moving.” – Maurizio Sarri

David Luiz (£5.9m) was back in the side after being benched for Gameweek 29, but it was another match that suggested defence is the wrong area to cover for Chelsea in the Blank Gameweeks. Wolves had just one shot inside the penalty box all afternoon and it found the back of the net. Having failed to keep a clean sheet even against out-of-form Fulham, there has not been much to inspire confidence in Chelsea’s back-line from a Fantasy perspective of late.

Marcos Alonso‘s (£6.4m) stock continues to fall after he was omitted from the matchday squad for the second Premier League match in a row. That is the first time that the Spaniard has missed back-to-back Gameweeks all season, as it appears clear that he has slipped down the pecking order. Sarri has previously explained that when Alonso is not chosen for the starting XI, it makes sense not to include him among the substitutes as left-back is not a position he wants to cover on the bench. Emerson Palmieri (£5.2m) made his second consecutive Premier League start against Wolves and looks very much to be competing for the left-back slot now.

The explanation for Hazard, Higuaín and their colleagues’ struggles in Gameweek 30 may have actually had more to do with Wolves than with Chelsea. The newly-promoted side have been especially impressive when they have played top-six sides this season, beating Spurs and Chelsea earlier in the campaign, and holding both Manchester clubs to draws, and now Sarri’s men on their own patch.

Particularly fond of the big sides is striker Raúl Jiménez (£6.8m) who scored Wolves’ goal at Stamford Bridge. That was his the seventh he has been involved in from nine appearances against top-six opposition this season, scoring four strikes of his own and assisting another three. For all of Chelsea’s efforts on goal, no player managed a higher xG score in the match than Jiménez, converting what proved to be the most clear-cut chance of the afternoon, although it was still an excellent finish to get it past Kepa Arrizabalaga (£5.4m).

“It’s different now. They (Jota and Jimenez) have less support, less players in the movement, but Diogo and Raul were able to do a fantastic combination and score a very beautiful goal.” – Nuno Espirito Santo

Despite claims to the contrary by Sarri, Wolves’ defence was very well organised at Stamford Bridge, led by captain Conor Coady (£4.5m), with Willy Boly (£4.6m). This has been a recurring theme of their matches against top-six sides this season, which may hold some hope for those invested in Chelsea attacking options for Blank Gameweek 31. Considering that only Fulham have conceded more shots in the box in the last four home matches as Everton, the Blues are likely to face a more obliging defence next weekend compared to Gameweek 30.

“What I see every day (from Conor Coady) is a fantastic player – a fantastic player and a captain. First-half we were well organised, not allowing many things to Chelsea, who are a very good team and had possession of the ball, but we were closing the gaps and staying compact. We tried to take our chances when we got them.” – Nuno Espirito Santo

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): Kepa; Emerson, D Luiz, Rüdiger, Azpilicueta; Kovačić (Loftus-Cheek 56′), Jorginho (Willian 72′), Kanté; Hazard, Higuaín, Pedro (Hudson-Odoi 61′).

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI (3-5-2): Patrício; Boly, Coady, Saïss; Jonny, Joao Moutinho, Neves, Dendoncker, Doherty; Jota (Gibbs-White 82′), Jiménez (Traoré 89′).

    I hope 10 players for -4 will be sufficient...

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      It should be. So much of this game comes down to picking the right captain.

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        exactly where I have been going wrong all season!

      2. el polako
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        Or being lucky with poor refs decisions.

  2. Kingtekkerz
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Who do you prefer for the blanks?
    A) Daniels
    B) Mepham
    C) Rice

  3. Obi-1 Kenobi-0

    Anybody considering the triple captain chip on a Liverpool asset this week?

    I’m on FH32 and BB35 so will need to use it on a single gameweek. Prefer Fulham away to Hudds at home as Fulham more likely to try and play.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Nope

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      If it was at home, I'd consider Mane, but Liverpool's away form isn't good enough.

    3. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Go for it mate if that's your instinct.

    4. Midlands Saint73
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Thinking about it after all time low score of 21 and week rank of 6 million last time out.

    5. Forza Napoli
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      No, DGW Sterling or Aguero all the way.

  4. FF Dirtbag
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Already done Jimenez and Son -> Vardy and Fraser (-4)

    Should I do another (-4) and do Pogba -> Hazard? Even though I already have 11 to play?

    Fabianski
    Robertson TAA Digne
    Salah Fraser Brooks Fanderson
    Jimenez Rondon Higuain

    Button; Pogba, AWB, Doherty

    1. Klein
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Noooo. 11 to play is already a huge advantage. Dont burn it with hits

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        Thanks Klein. Voice of reason!

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      I would do that 100% because it covers 33 as well.

      Anderson may not even start and you may get a late injury, so having 12 players is not a bad idea

  5. Dele
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Higuain and Hazard look pants, still going to hit -8 to get them both onboard.

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      No for that reason alone, 20m better spent elsewhere.

      1. Dele
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        20m... when you put it like that haha

  6. finnish92
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Right now I have 7 players in my team who are not blanking. Pick one:
    A) Murphy, Aguero -> Fraser, Wilson (-4)
    B) Murphy, Aguero -> Fraser, Vardy (-4)
    C) Aguero, Jimenez -> Wilson, Vardy (-4)
    C)Murphy, Aguero, Jimenez -> Fraser, Wilson, Vardy (-8)

    In gw 32 I will use FH, WC in gw 34.

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years

      Does the loss mean you are doing the Hokey Cokey with the player you are selling for 32?

      1. Fpl Richie

      There hasn't been a 0-0 in any league game at Craven Cottage since the opening day of the 2011-12 season - about 150 games ago.

  13. Don Kloppeone

    5 years, 18 days ago

    I am trying to work out if Fraser alone is enough of BOU attack to take advantage of the devilish duo being back and with lovely fixtures. Have to decide on Wilson or Vardy up top as part of my -8:

    Sterling, Pogba, Jimi > Haz, Fraser, Vardy/Wilson

    I do have Maddison so it in some way "covers" LEI attacking points and Vardy doesn't tend to haul.... but on the other hand is it too soon to jump back on the double Cherries when they are just back?

    Fab
    Robbo, TAA, Luiz
    Salah (C), Haz, Fraser, Maddison
    Higuain, Vardy/ Wilson*, Barnes
    (Hamer) (Pereira, Doherty, JWP)

    I know it's effectively a 'toss a coin' situation so I'm really just doing a survey and may just choose the highest number of votes - Vardy vs Wilson for GW31/33

    Cheers medears

    1. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      I'll have Vardy and Wilson

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        I can’t have both as already have Hig and Barnes

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Thank you for writing my dilemma 😀
      I was scratching my head over this for 2 days.
      Decided to go Vardy+Fraser way. But fear Wilson will punish me

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        It’s so tough right?!

        I think I would say it’s Head (Vardy) vs Heart (Wilson)

        Used to love the BOU double up but it may be too soon to expect them to perform like that...?

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 18 days ago

          Hopefully you are right. It's basically a 2 gw punt. So took a decision as it will never be a decisive call without someone getting injured

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 18 days ago

            Yep it really is just a punt

            Whichever way I go hopefully the difference if I get it wrong isn't too great!

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years

    Playing my free Hit, any thoughts please:

    Fabianski
    Alexander-Arnold, Alonso, Pereira
    Gray, Fraser, Hazard, Salah
    Vardy, Wilson, Firmino

    Bench
    Hamer, Rice, Tarkowski, Masuaku

    1. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Prefer Maddison to Grey.

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      TAA and Firminio to Robbo and Mane
      Pereira to chels defender or play a west ham def
      Gray to Maddison or H.Barnes
      Hamer to Bourc

    3. Rohirrims
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Alonso could be a good call if he starts but don't like gray. Need to go for Hazard + Salah + Mane..

    4. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Free hit without Mane? Robbo? Why Alonso - he wasn't even in the squad the last game

    5. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Bin Alonso for azpi

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        and this

    6. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      I would double up on liverpool defence (huge attacking potential). And get Higuain in for firminho. Also prefer Brooks over grey and Luiz over Pereira.

    7. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Alonso probably won't start, especially if he plays Europa League on Thursday

  15. thepirates
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Rashford (loose 0,3 value) & Camarasa > Fraser & Rondon
    Or
    Doherty (loose 0,4 value) & Camarasa > Rice & Brooks

    Already got King.

    After this sub i will field 11!

  16. KUN_DE_BRU_YNE
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    I am hesitating for sterling > hazard move for a hit now, especially for a reason Chelsea haven't score against Everton and westham both in their reverse fixture !!!so if for a hit who would u prefer??
    A) Hazard
    B)Fraser/Brooks
    C)maddisson/Barnes/Tielemans
    D)Fraser + maddisson(-8)

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Hazard. So what about the reverse fixture.

  17. Murder On Zidanesfloor
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Taken a -12 but i feel i have a stronger 10 than many, so hopefully it will not affect my rank too much (50K)

    Fab
    VVD Luiz TAA
    Hazard Mane Fraser
    Higuain Vardy Wilson

    What do you guys think? Rank drop or stay around the same?

      It Salah puts away his chances you’re struggling

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        Captaining mane and hoping for the best

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 18 days ago

          Probably what I’ll end up doing

  18. HD7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Really hope King and Brooks strike back and are the more profitable duo in GW31/33 than Wilson Fraser...

    oh and Salah more profitable than Mane... Essential

      Desperately want this

    Which is the best move here?

    A Taa to Rice
    Sterling to Salah (c)
    Aguero to Wilson -8

    B Aguero to Wilson
    Sterling to Hazard
    Mane (c) -4

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor

      B. Keep TAA!

        The fear of Salah hauling is getting to me!

    Hello all

    So currently 20k overall with all chips available.
    Managed to have these 11 starting with no hits. any suggestion of a move that would in theory return more than the 4 point hit?

        already have 3 from BOU, can't bring him in

    2. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      I'm going three Hammers in defence, three Pool attack

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        This
        Take some risk on FH imo.
        Need some differential & triple pool attack against Fulham is a good differential

        1. _Gunner
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 18 days ago

          Firmino in for who then?

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years

            Higuain

  22. KUNingas
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Anything worth a hit? 2.3 ITB

    A) Jimenez -> Wilson (-4)
    B) Bennett -> Rice (-4)=
    C) G2G and go with 9 players

    Boruc
    Robertson, TAA, Pereira
    Salah, Hazard, Anderson, Maddison
    Vardy

    Guaita, Pogba, Jimenez, AWB, Bennett, Kamara

  23. Hotdogs for Tea

    And that’s it, my pen is down ... have this for free and hope it is enough ?
    Boruc
    Maguire Alonso Ogbonna Robbo
    Salah Hazard Mane
    Higuaín Vardy Barnes
    Hamer Billing Lascalles Mendy

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years

      Its amazing. Did you manage to put this together without a rank drop in the past few weeks?

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        Better OR than in GW24, same as in GW26 at 85k (ish) with 2 green arrows in the last 2 weeks, so yes I suppose so.

        Salah and Auba captain picks unfortunately have killed me more than any planning for 31 🙂

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years

      Good team mate.

    Not FPL, but sky sports super 6 predictions for tonight?

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      It is a game of luck. If you predict long odds outcomes then if they come in, you're alone so still worth trying.

    2. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      2-0 city, 2-1 juve, 3-0 bristol, 2-2 shef/bees, 2-1 leeds, and 1-0 wednesday.

  25. yakirh
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Anyone got an idea how WestHam will line up?
    I think they will win comfortably, I want to get an attacker

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      The West Ham who have scored 8 goals in their last 9 games and lost to Cardiff at the weekend?

      1. yakirh
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        Well, yes.
        Last 2 home games:
        Westham 3-1 Fulham
        Westham 2-0 Newcastle

        I see an easy 3-0 win against Huddersfield, don't you agree?

    2. jtreble
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Who knows: Pelle is in full stupid mode.

    3. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Nobody clear to get in.

      1. kalmoffit
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        I hope he starts too. He is still top quality, imo.

    4. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Arnie to start and Antonio back, I'd hope

      1. yakirh
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        and Anderson?

      2. circusmonkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        If I knew Arnie was starting I would lose money on Rashford for him. But I will do a lower price transfer instead.

    5. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      I’m stuck with Anderson but I wouldn’t get any of em in

    6. Malkmus
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      I wouldn't get any ham in if you don't have them. Anderson is a dead weight round my neck.

  26. Malkmus
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    A'noon all. I'm currently on this X for -4.

    Fab
    TAA - Rice - Luiz
    Salah - Mane (c) - Anderson - Billing
    Vardy - King

    Subs - Pogba, Rashford, Doherty, WB

    Is it worth doing Pogba to Haz for -8?

    Ta !

  27. Henning
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Hmm

    1. Son and Camarasa to Hazard and Fraser for a hit ? already have Brooks.

    2. Just Son to Hazard?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      I’m not fussed on hazard personally... but probably just 2?

  28. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Hey all. Barring any surprises front ucl games, I’m planning:

    Sterling to Mane (-4)

    To give me 9BGW players. Is Camarasa to Fraser worth another hit? Why/why not?

    Fabianski // Boruc
    Robertson Pereira // Doherty AWB Bednarek
    Salah *Mane* Anderson // Pogba Camarasa
    Higuain Vardy Wilson

    FH32, WC34

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      I'd get both Mane & Fraser.
      Hit for Fraser should be rewarded over two fixtures

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Worth a hit as Cam will have 2 blanks probably.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        cheers!

    Arsenal definitely play in GW33 don't they?

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Yes

    2. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Yeah

    3. HamezMace
      • 9 Years

      Everton away.

    4. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Cool thanks. Not sure it's worth getting rid of Kolasinac for a hit when he plays in GW33 then. Might just roll with 10

      1. No Luck
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 18 days ago

        This is my exact dilemma

  30. £0.1 Short !
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 18 days ago

    Posted earlier, but no response.

    A or B (both for a 4 point hit giving 11 players for GW31)

    A) Hazard + 2 defenders to £9.7m (Only other playing defender Robertson and can’t go TAA as already have Salah and Mane. Thinking Rice and Ake)

    B) Frazer Azpilicueta and Luiz

    1. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 18 days ago

      Would prefer Hazard, Rice + Ake over the other three.
