Analysing the FPL assets Lampard has to choose from at Chelsea

Fantasy managers will very likely learn more about Chelsea assets from pre-season than they can from the Blues’ performances in 2018/19.

There has been a regime change at Stamford Bridge this summer, with Frank Lampard being appointed as head coach following the departure of the Juventus-bound Maurizio Sarri.

As a result, there’ll be a different system and style in place in west London next season to the regimented 4-3-3 ‘Sarri-ball’ we have become accustomed to over the last 12 months.

Lampard has already experimented with a 4-2-3-1, a 4-4-2 diamond and 4-1-4-1 in Chelsea’s pre-season fixtures so far and the aggressive press that he favoured at Derby County has been in evidence, too.

We Fantasy managers are also faced with the task of preparing for life without Eden Hazard for the first time in seven years.

How well the Blues can cope with their talisman’s exit is uncertain, particularly as their two-window transfer ban is still in operation.

There is still something to be gained by looking at the statistics from last season, however, to see which areas Lampard may need to address and which players could possibly shine following Hazard’s departure.

    Pedro is the one if he can nail down a spot, same with Alonso.

    1. cravencottage

      Alonso could be gold but pricing isn’t great

    Which option do you prefer?

    A Team below (with .5 m itb)

    B As below but
    Pope Zinchenko and Sterling over Ederson Azpilicueta and De Bruyne

    Ederson
    TAA Azpilicueta Van Dijk Digne
    Sterling De Bruyne Richarlison Pérez
    Wilson King

    Woodman Dendoncker Greenwood Gibson

    1. Hedge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Ederson Azpi and KDB

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I think I prefer B. Ederson is expensive for a GK, and Sterling over KDB.

    3. Brian Boitano
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      You seem to have Sterling in both?

        * Oops Sterling should be Salah in the team

    Definitely some bargains to be had here but will let them show before jumping on I think as I'm fairly happy with what I've already got.

    Still waiting for them to add Abrahams and others too...

    1. RomeluStormzy
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Agreed. All on watchlist until the dust settles.

      WCGW3 a great time to capitalise on them

        I'll be planning to have more than a couple of weeks of data before using the Wildcard lol

        1. Ask Yourself

          Don’t be silly more than enough

  5. Ask Yourself

    Lundstram (4m defender) to get that midfield spot next to Norwood as Sheffield need some defensive qualities in the premier league rather than being more attacking last year? Getting a great deal of pre season minutes with the first choice players

    1. LangerznMash
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I've got him as one of my 3 x £4.0m defenders. Need one of Lundstram, Kelly or Rico to start or i'm only going to have ten players!

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        One of your 3 :O

  6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    CHO & Giroud interest me the most

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Willian for me

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Christensen nailed is my hope. Vain I imagine

      1. RomeluStormzy
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Good shout.

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Would be CS’s only though not amazing

          1. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            5.0 I’d take for cs. 5.5 I’d want more.

    3. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Why giroud

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Chelsea strikers are usually £10m+
        This year we've got one for £7m, that's great value.

        1. Peter Ouch
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          But it's Giroud

          1. HamezMace
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            People still went with Morata at £10m+

            1. Peter Ouch
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Bonkers

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Giroud is actually quite a productive player when he gets the game time

        Even last season he got 6 returns in less than 10 games’ worth of minutes for example

        7.0 looks like a price he could easily justify

        1. Peter Ouch
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Fair enough but you can get bette ones with 6.5 or 7.5.
          I think the fact that plays for Chelsea is the only positive in his case.
          I will wait and see but kudos for your brave move

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            He interests me for sure, but he is nowhere near my team at the minute - same with CHO

  7. RomeluStormzy
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Has anyone got any Chelsea at the moment? Only ones I'm curtently looking at is azpi.

    1. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Giroud has been in and out, think £7m for a Chelsea striker is great value.
      CHO one to watch later in the season once up to fitness.

      Abraham, and Mount the same.

      1. RomeluStormzy
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Looked at him at the start but too many options up top at Chelsea.

        1. HamezMace
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Hopefully preseason helps us determine this

    2. CustardMite
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Kante's keeping a place warm on my bench.

    3. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Seriously looking at Christensen & Barkley. But neither in my team as of yet.

    4. All de Gea no iDier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Same here. Azpi is rock solid and guaranteed 160+ points if he stays healthy.

      Pedro is on my WL but nowhere near the team at the moment given the competition at that price point and questions on how the Chelsea attack will line up. The others are too much of a risk at this time.

  8. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Ryan [Button]
    TAA Robertson Zinc Digne [Kelly]
    Sterling Salah Siggy Fraser [Den]
    King Deu [4.5]

    Any advise?

    1. RomeluStormzy
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I had a team very similar with Coleman and Bilva instead of Digne and Fraser. Like it.

      Oh I have pope instead of Ryan as I don't think Brighton will get a clean sheet this season.

    2. Fantasy Gold

    3. Fit of Pique
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Problem with a team like this (mine too) is that when Sterling and Zinchenko inevitably miss games, there's nothing coming on off the bench. Making me think of City players as coming at a £0.5m premium, as the bench needs extra investment to cover the benchings

      1. Lucky Z
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Not Zinc, but Sterling usually makes cameos when benched

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          against tired defences too - fair call! Even so, you need more than Donkers who can step off the bench. I'd prefer to upgrade Kelly to a 4.5. Also I have no faith in Brighton as a defence and would change the keeper, Ryanwagon notwithstanding.

          1. Lucky Z
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Thank you! Will reassess

  9. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Just checked and Pulisic recorder 0.51 xG per 90 minutes last year. Those are great numbers, if he only could sustain it he would be a really great option.

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Chelsea wingers could be cheap as chips. Chelsea only have penalty box strikers, none likely to drop into mf so wingers who take people on and cross could get plenty of assists mixed with the odd goal.

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Dont go boasting about Pulisic on here, people will jump down your throats, like they did to me.

  10. Brian Boitano
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Can anyone work out how to crowbar Salah into this team? Or is this as good as a non Salah team can get?

    Ederson (Button)
    TAA VanD Robertson Laporte (Dunk)
    Sterling Maddison Fraser Sigurdsson (Jorginho)
    Wilson Jota (Greenwood)

    1. Brian Boitano
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Whilst keeping Sterling

    2. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Downgrade Ederson, LaPorte and one of TAA/Robertson to 4.5m options.
      Upgrade Sigurdsson to Salah.

      ...you asked.

      1. Brian Boitano
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        It’s not possible is it?

        1. HamezMace
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Very possible to have a Sterling+Salah team.
          Salah+Sterling and Kane is the tricky one.

          1. HamezMace
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            4.5 keepers rotating
            TAA Robertson Digne 4.5m (4.0)
            Salah Sterling Perez Sigurdsson (Dendonker)
            Wilson Jota (Greenwood)

            1. Brian Boitano
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Thanks that’s a decent shout. Much to consider.

              1. HamezMace
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                No worries

    3. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      You already have 3 pools defenders

    4. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Just shows you can get a damn good squad without Salah. I'd keep it.

  11. Where dahoud at
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    So team sorted now for the start off the season, generally believe i have a good team here, starting greenwood yes i know there's a strong possibility that he wont start against chelsea and for that reason i have taylor as my first sub, feel free to leave me some idea's and thots,

    Ryan
    Vvd, coleman, robertson
    Siggy, salah(c), pogba, Maddison
    Greenwood, aguero(vc), king

    Bench, button, charlie taylor, Dendoncker, diop

    1. RomeluStormzy
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      If Greenwood doesn't start he may very well get a cameo.

      1. Where dahoud at
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        True, and he could very well score,

    2. Brian Boitano
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe have Greenwood as first sub?

      1. Where dahoud at
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Whats point in that? I know every1 else in my team will start,

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Greenwood as a starter is just silly

    4. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Dont think utd, think fpl

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Chistensen and Hudson when he is back fit interest me on first glance. Although I do think Chelsea will struggle as the season begins to settle down

  13. CustardMite
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Any thoughts on my team?

    Lloris (Button)
    Alexander Arnold - Laporte - Zinchenko - Robertson (Kelly)
    Sterling - Perez - Fraser - Salah (Kante)
    Ings - King (Nketiah)

    1. Brian Boitano
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Don’t like Ings. He’ll get injured in the first game and you’ll be depressed

      1. CustardMite
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I've switched him and Murray at least three times already...

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          DCL ?
          (If Everton don't sign anyone else ??)

    2. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I like it 🙂

      1. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Apart from Kante really

    3. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Downgrade kante to a 4.5 and get jota for ings. Ings will get injured the might before the game trying to cut his steak

  14. Bun Rab
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    For me i'm keeping and eye on Barkley. He should play in the 10 position or the tip of the midfield 3. Will be given a lot more freedom to attack under Lampard. The other atm is Mount. Can play 10 or on the right of a 3 as he has done in preseason. If he comes in less than 6m i will be all over him.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah mount looks preferred to Barkley

      1. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Well Mounts ability to play a few positions across midfield will be more helpful for minutes as i see RLC taking over from Barkley in the 10/tip of midfield.

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Barkley has trolled me too many times for me to even consider him as an option. Plus he's as thick as two short planks.

  15. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I don't know if useful stat: Vardy had exactly the same xG per 90 minutes last season and in the Leicester's title winning campaign. 0.63 xG/90

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Well he has more players to set him up now. Maddison, Telimans, Barnes, Perez and a manager who wants to play on the front foot, not just counter attack. I think that xG will go up.

      1. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I have him in team but this is what worries me. He is great with big teams in counter attack but Rodgers ain't that manager.
        I think midfielders will benefit more from his formation

        1. Bun Rab
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I understand, but i don't think that Rodgers will just attack top 6 teams and Vardy tends to score against them no matter how the team plays. I agree that midfielders will profit more, I just think Vardy will as well. Those last 10 games of last season showed a glimpse of what he can achieve.

          1. Peter Ouch
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Good points there.
            But I just think he is not that great in a possession tactic formation like Rodgers'.
            Although he showed what he cam do last year and hopefully he can do it this year again

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Maybe, Vardy + Perez is the way to go !

              1. Peter Ouch
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Not in the beginning at least. After the first tough fixtures it can happen but I am happy to start with one of them

                1. Amey
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  Yep
                  Vardy atm for me.
                  He's @ a awkward price tag but i really like his prospects

                  1. Peter Ouch
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 8 months ago

                    I have downgraded kane to Vardy and I invested so much into my defence and mid.
                    So effective

                    1. Amey
                      • 5 Years
                      4 years, 8 months ago

                      Yep
                      Agreed

              Again, I agree wholeheartedly that he's not a "possession" guy. His remit will be to be in the box for those talented midfielders (and defenders Chilwell and Pereira) to find and play off of. I think 9m will be cheap if he hits anything like the form of the end of last season.

        4 years, 8 months ago

        By the way, if it also interests you, I also checked Tielemans and his stats aren't very good.On average 0.12 goals and 0.12 assists during his time in Monaco and half of the year at Leicester. 0.14 xG and 0.11 xA while playing for Foxes.
        I was interested but I will avoid now I guess...

          4 years, 8 months ago

          Tielemans had great FPL stats while playing for Leicester last season. And Perez is interesting too but we'll have to see where he fits in. Maddison and Barnes, possibly Gray too worth a look. There are too many £6.5 mids to choose from and Vardy is up against Wilson and Rashford, the former having some easy fixtures.

          But their first few fixtures aren't great so I'm waiting until GW5 or 6 before looking at their options regards transfers in.

    1. Lebowski85

      4-4-2....probably gonna become 3-5-2 when I swap a premium defenders for a bandwagon

      1. Brian Boitano

        Lots of people will have 3-4-2 this season when Kelly, Wickham and Greenwood don’t start

    Anyone else starting to look a bit closer at MUFC defence options. I didnt get on the Wan Bissaka bandwagon when the game first came out - but him or Lindelof just starting to look a little more appealing as a 3rd/4th defender

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Prefer Zinchenko at that price.

      1. Peter Ouch

  20. Von Lipwig

    A) VVD + Sterling + Tielemans + King
    B) Robbo + KDB + Zaha + Wilson

    Same price. What is best?

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I prefer B. All of them look like bringing in good returns.

    3. Brian Boitano
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      B but I think there are better options at Zaha’s price point.

  21. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    a bit up in the air with defenders, but like this BB team:

    Pope Boruc?
    VVD Coleman Holebas KWP AMN
    Salah Siggy Fraser Moura Pereyra
    Vardy Wilson Origi

    any thoughts except 'no City'?

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I feel like there must be two better 4.5 keepers for me to use - not sure whether to hedge with Pereyra v Ryan in GW1

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Peryera hattrick + Deeney Pen misses 😉

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          😀 I like the way you think

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Well, if you are serious about it maybe watch out for Andone (5m possible starter)

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        the front-3 is borderline locked in (unless it looks likely Origi won't play)

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          He is a transfer waiting to happen.
          I'd personally get another pool Defender for that spot and settle for DCL/andone/cheap forward

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            I'm WCing GW4 so I'm not really bothered, hopefully I can get two games out of him

            Is that Zaha at Everton? Juicy first fixture for him.

          2. SADIO SANÉ
            • 8 Years

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years

        Maitland-Niles, as it stands that defence rotates quite well for the first 3/4

    Soo many members articles this season. How much more value for money the membership looks this season.Thanks a lot mods! Great work 🙂 Hope ffs keeps growing. Next stage looks like getting former and current football managers and even players to share their teams/fictional teams if played fpl and views using connections ffs already has with fpl :p The marketing will be huge!
    Side query: Are current epl players allowed to play fpl? Will they get reward if they ever win due to conflict of interest?

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      There are so many players playing already.
      I remember last year around the 10th fixture there were rumours about Hazard injury but nothing official. I think the only one that took him of his team was Marcos Alonso haha

  24. Gringo Kid

      Looking good, although I would be tempted to go Richarlison over Sig for the opening games.

      Or you might consider Digne to Coleman and Ederson to a 4.5, which would give you Wilson over King.

      1. nelluckram
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I had Rich until I asked that question here. Copa America involvement has swayed me

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          He has a habit of starting seasons on fire. I would wager that this Copa America involvement will mean he's more match fit than most, making him an even more attractive option early doors.

          1. nelluckram
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Haha. This was exactly what I said.. "on fire". I know. I think whichever one I pick is gonna burn me. Siggy has a slightly higher PPM ratio but Rich loves a fresh campaign..

    1. Rasping Drive

      Christensen. Inşallah.

    Ryan,
