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.

    Lundstram 3rd on the bench, had no hopes that he would come on as dont own Sterling and needed 3 no shows. Now I see that Dendoncker, Danso and Emerson all didnt play! Also getting Rico 5 pointer. Ridiculous luck 😆 Oh happy day 🙂

    McGinn, Pepe and Robbo saved this GW...

  14. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    I have an impression that the scout picks have not performed well the last few weeks? Or I am wrong?

  15. have you seen cyan
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 hours ago

    330k > 177k pretty decent, cracking that 100k is hard apparently

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 15 Years

      Step by step

    2. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 hours ago

      100k shouldn’t be the aim / realistic for everyone who posts on here

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 hours ago

        Lol - should!!

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 5 Years

    3. Critical Observer
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 hours ago

      42k --> 2k if LiveFPL is to be believed. I'll take that and I'll ruin it by the next international break, no doubt.

    Right.. Haller or Barnes out to Abraham? Fancy an early transfer just to feel like I’m doing something to address this dumpster fire

    1. Rainer
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 hours ago

      Tammy went off cause of a knock, no?

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years

        The scaremongerer strikes again

    2. Harrypottermus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 hours ago

      I have the same decision. I plan to give Barnes his P45.

  19. tutankamun

    Digne haller to rico firmino. Exact money 2ft and need Rico playing..

    Y or N?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 hours ago

      No not if Rico needs to play week in week out or very often.

  21. Royal5
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 7 hours ago

    With Rashford out for a while surely keep Greenwood now? Or will Martial be back?

  22. columbo
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 7 hours ago

    Lanzini and Emerson to TAA and Cantwell worth a -4? I feel it is

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 hours ago

      Y

  23. Niho992
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 hours ago

    Salah, Haller and Lanzini to Pepe, Aguero (C) and McNeill for -4 went well i suposse.

  24. FPL Daniel
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 7 hours ago

    Anyone that was paying attention to drops. Any chance Donker fells in price tonight? Or if not tonight when do you project? Thanks

    1. Rainer
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 hours ago

  25. El Matador
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 hours ago

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 15 Years

  26. Chandler Bing
    • 8 Years

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 7 hours ago

      He might be. With Kante back I expect clean sheets

    2. Moose™
