Mount and Emerson recover from injury to start against Liverpool

The final two matches of Gameweek 6 take place this afternoon as Chelsea entertain Liverpool and Arsenal take on Aston Villa.

Kick-off at Stamford Bridge and at the Emirates is at 16:30 BST.

The headline news comes from west London, with Chelsea – and Fantasy managers – handed a boost upon the release of the teamsheets.

Mason Mount has recovered from injury to make his sixth straight start in the top flight, while N’Golo Kante and Emerson Palmieri are also back in Frank Lampard’s starting XI after stepping up their recoveries over the last week.

Lampard has ditched the 3-4-2-1 and reverted to a 4-3-3, with Tammy Abraham flanked by Mount and Willian up top.

Liverpool have made only one change from the side that lost to Napoli in midweek, with Georginio Wijnaldum in for James Milner in central midfield.

That means there are starts for Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andrew Robertson, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.

Unai Emery has made multiple changes from the side that beat Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday but, compared to Arsenal’s Gameweek 5 line-up, there is only one alteration: Bukayo Saka in for Mesut Ozil.

Sead Kolasinac has been passed fit despite coming off with a minor knock in Germany.

Aston Villa also make just one change to the side that drew 0-0 against West Ham on Monday night: Trezeguet returns from suspension and replaces the benched Jota.


Arsenal XI: Leno, Maitland-Niles, Luiz, Sokratis, Kolasinac, Xhaka, Guendouzi, Ceballos, Pepe, Aubameyang, Saka.

Aston Villa XI: Heaton, Guilbert, Engels, Mings, Taylor, Nakamba, McGinn, Grealish, El Ghazi, Trezeguet, Wesley.

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Tomori, Emerson, Kanté, Jorginho, Kovačić, Willian, Abraham, Mount.

Liverpool XI: Adrian, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

      No, but Mark Sutherns brought AMN in this GW and also Captained Sterling. Not often he gets things so wrong.

      1. St Pauli Walnuts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Who does he have as VC? Calculated as if Sterling was going to be rested he was pretty unlikely to make an appearance at all, as it transpired.

        1. All de Gea no iDier
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          He's on Salah as VC and because Mount play he'll miss out on 3rd sub Lundstram's 12 points. Not a good week for the maestro.

        No choice im afraid

        Other 6 are Abraham Pukki Haller kdb sterling salah

  6. MITHRRANDIRR
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    If you observe Kepa on both goals - late decision making and no reflexes, actually he retracts his hand when the second goal goes in. A disaster of a manager.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'm not watching this match but I am yet to be at all impressed by his performances since he arrived at Chelsea.

      1. MITHRRANDIRR
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        For the second goal, he's not getting there but goalkeeper instinct is to throw themselves at the ball, he's not doing that.

        He makes some good saves but overall he's bad. The only hope for Chelsea is he gets good with time like DDG.

    Exact cash for

    Digne, Sterling, Haller to TAA, Mount, Aguero.

    Worth it?

      Yes. Aguero effective cover for sterling.

    1. St Pauli Walnuts

      Might come good yet.

  12. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on double pool defence (TAA & Robbo)? I know they have a though run of fixtures but they seem to do well vs the bigger teams, staying really solid...is TAA and Robbo combo better than say Son and Soncyu?

    1. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I wildcarded last week and had to lose Robbo. Still think it’s a good move. Trent is essential.

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      They are doing good offensively today but Chelsea had a couple of chances so not so sure they are the best options in difficult fixtures overall.

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Think so.

    4. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Hard to do both if you want premiums in midfield and up front. Trent is as close to as essential as there is, exceptional value.

  13. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    This has been an absolutely shocking GW for me. Cannot wait for it to be over. No KDB, Lundstram 2nd sub. Digne, Pukki, Barnes blank. Aguero 1 goal and assist in an 8-0 win, Sterling no show. All my rivals VC KDB over Sterling. Can’t afford TAA.

    Toughest season yet.

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years

      I'll get Itzhak Perlman on the case! Just get in the good guys for a hit or 2.

          Auba, Arsenal's fixtures are amazing. Then upgrade Jorg, Mount if you can afford him or McGinn f not.

    Emery proved again he s worst manager in the league.

    1. Marvin Moon

    This game week feels like my FPL season getting into top 5k is over.

    Terrible game week. How do you post your rough with the smooth.

    Benched Lundstram 12pts got in Mendy played Mendy instead Lundstram gave me 1pt then got rid of Anderson for Guendouzi who got 8pts Guendouzi will give me 1pt seeing as he just got a yellow.

    Captained Sterling had Mount first sub ahead of Lundstram.
    Gone from 34k to 100k looks like be another red arrow again.

    5. Brosstan
      • 9 Years

      100k is a great rank at this point.

        I was 20k 3 weeks back so not if your trying to break top 5k it gets more difficult each game week you the ground of top 5k as everyone will have the same players

    Will FPL change the game difficulty ratings through the course of the season? I generally ignore them, but Man Utd great example of misleading info. Guess casuals are most affected.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I didn't even know FPL had difficulty ratings.

      1. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Maybe not all casuals do

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

        FDR

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      That FDR is arguably the worst thing about FPL - useless!

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Quite

      Arsenal defence is another. When were they last a red fixture for defence?

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      They changed Wolves to a green fixture. I never pay attention to them anyway though.

    5. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Ars che and united are not harder compared to likes of lei whu at the moment

      1. Spab
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I agree. Fourth spot is wide open. I'm surprised at how bad
        arsenal and man utd are. Very poor.

    6. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      THey changed Wolves FDR this season already.

  24. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    Sorry for breaking Tammy Abrahams by transferring him in

    1. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Should do well over next 6.

      Looked the most dangerous chelsea attacker this game and last 3gws

      1. St Pauli Walnuts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        Yep, I brought him in on WC for this GW but for the future fixtures not this one.

  25. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

    Exact cash Celladross to Maddy, easiest transfer ever if fit

  26. Pinturicchio10

      Such a weird gw. Somehow managed a green arrow despite no city attack, Dendoncker goose egg, and 4 other blanks.

      1. The_Fish
        • 5 Years

        How many points?

        1. Pinturicchio10

            53 so far.

              53 for a green arrow! Proper weird week. I’m on for 90 or so.

            I'm on for 89 points at the moment with 5 blanks, weird week. It puts me in the top 1000, for first time ever I think, so a bit chuffed with that!

            Woeful defenders and worse mids.

            Because they keep neglecting their defence and defensive midfield. Why is Xhaka still starting? Why haven't they purchased a commanding CB instead of shelling out for Pepe when you already have Laca, Auba and Mkhi.

            even Chelsea with a transfer embargo were wise enough to realise how bad Luiz was and Arsenal snap him up. You couldnt write it, I think he has had a hand in every goal they conceded so far.
            Thank god he isnt english or Southgate would have him playing for us!
