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.

    I know a hit for a defender is always frowned upon but, Digne to TAA?

        Just cracking top 500k if live FPL accurate! 🙂

      73 points from 715k to 295k according to livefpl

    Rough = Thought Sterling would play, so didn't think about who to vice captain, saw after the update it was left on Abraham.
    Smooth = Jota in for Haller

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

      Would love to hear your reasons for removing Haller? I'm considering bringing in on wildcard.

      1. Demí
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I just didn't fancy him this week up against Maguire. Still a good pick

  4. manu4life99

    Made early transfer for Tammy ....he is injured isn't he...

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Inconclusive. He has a week to rest it off regardless.

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

      Could be

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

      Nope

    4. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      That why you should never make early transfers.. But we don't know. Prolly just a knock. More information later on.

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6.9m to spend on a midfielder.

    Rest of the front 8 is:
    Salah KDB Mount Cantwell
    Aguero Abraham Pukki

    Who would you guys go for?
    H.Wilson and McGinn are jumping out as the obvious ones, any others? And why?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      0.2 shy of Maddison ... Yarmalenko? McNeill?

  6. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Gotta hate those last second yellow cards - 1 and kills any bonus points...

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

      Auba wasn’t getting a BAP regardless.

  7. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Anything worth a hit here?

    Ryan
    TAA, Zinchenko, Soyuncu
    Salah, Sterling, Mount, Cantwell
    Wilson, Pukki, Tammy

    Button, Digne, Coleman, Deondocker

      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Might have an Everton defender on the pitch.
      Midweek games are the key.

    Poor Mark

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

      Mark no longer knows.

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah. He had a bad week. But he will recover. Still has his WC too.

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      wow Mark had a shocking week! 31..

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

        Probably wishes he was the one getting hacked now

  9. Brosstan
    • 9 Years

    91 points and yuge green arrow. Season's finally turned!

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Congrats mate.

    2. Andy'81
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      61 here, feels like I've dodged a bullet this GW shifting Sterling for KDB on a hit.

  10. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Safety score predicted to be 46.

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      One more week safe!

      Fun fact: I once got to the final of LMS (didn’t win though 🙁 )

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

      Scraped through with 51then

  11. United10
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    What to do here? have Salah and KDB
    a) Sterling to Mane on FT
    b) Sterling & Greenwood to Aguero & 6.0mid on -4

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Neither?

  12. TheDragon
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    1 FT

    Ryan Button
    VVD, Soyuncu, Digne, AWB, Lund
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Mount, Cantwell
    Pukki, Jota, Greenwood

    Which of these moves to make this week?

    A) Digne/ AWB -> Ota (leaning towards Digne as AWB has Newcastle week after next)
    B) Jota -> Abraham (Jota has Watford at home this week so could give him that)
    C) VVD -> TAA (a transfer I always want to make but can never justify the -4)

  13. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Planning on doing Mina to Tomori. Is Digne to TAA worth a -4?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I was kind of thinking of keeping Digne and benching for Cantwell next gw. He could have had a good score yesterday created a lot of chances.

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      TAA miles better FPL wise

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Can’t afford him without the first transfer

  14. Niho992
    • 5 Years

    Digne, Ceballos,Barnes to Soyuncu, Mount, Abraham for -4?

    1. MTPockets
        4 years, 7 months ago

        first 2 for free looks nice. Not sure about the hit

    2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      750k to 130k. Went from 300k to 750k last week.

      Not sure if I love or hate this game

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Getting hacked and deleted makes my heart skip a beat so I know the answe6

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          The thought of*

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A) Son + Haller
      B) Aguero + Cantwell

      Who'd you pick?

    4. FFMOTM
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Digne to diop and rich to son for -4?

    5. SUPER MOKH
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      77pts after bonus, Lund, McGinn, Wilson and of course KDB are the stars. Sterling have to go

    6. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      How is this for a WC team gents:

      Pope
      TAA Ota Soyuncu Aurier Lund
      Sterling KDB Son Pepe Mount
      Abraham Pukki 4.4

    7. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mane Wickham to Son(C) Tammy (-4) worth it?

      Will get Mane back after 3 weeks.

    8. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No transfers til after midweeks if I can help it

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

        I think I'm going to do the stupid, early, point-chasing move Digne > Ota before Ota rises. Knowing Marco Silva, I expect him to field his strongest XI in Carabao Cup mid-week 😐

    9. I know nothing
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Salah
      Mane or
      Sterling?

    10. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Auba basically an expensive Wilson. Consistent returns but very rarely explosive

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        lol

        Like last week

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

          "Rarely"

      2. Werner Bremen
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        My thought exactly. Wilson way better at that price.

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

      Heaton
      TAA VVD Digne
      Salah Sterling Mount KDB Cantwell
      Pukki Haller

      McGovern Greenwood Lundstram Kelly

      2FT 0.4itb

      A) Haller -> Abraham

      B) Salah + Greenwood -> Abraham + Son

      C) VVD + Digne + Greenwood -> Diop + Otamendi + Abraham (-4)

    12. Tsparkes10

      Live fpl not working for me? Anyone send a link that works... Cheers

      1. PlayPercentage
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        The web site falls over at busy times. Like after a match finishes.
        It doesn't merit it's "liveFPL" name.

    13. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Is VVD > TAA worth a hit?

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Nah. Would honestly get in Soy, Frederick's or Ota and spend the money

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

        This is the question

    14. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Rash+Sterling+Digne> Kun+Son+Tomori/Soyu (-4). Do it or not?

    15. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      looks like Im keeping Mcginn.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        You on around 70 points? Captain Aguero I'm guessing
