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.

                  None of them will & it will vary , its why we have FT

  3. JJeyy

    Thoughts on Tomori as an option?

    Cheap price, good fixtures and with Kante back Chelsea should be more solid.

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

      Christensen out for a while will help, need Rudiger back too.

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

        not likely to be out for a while

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

      i think the goal last week was a fluke

      he looked solid today as a defender but i dont think chelsea is going to keep clean sheets

    3. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I have him on WC. He is 4.5 starter from top 6 team. Must have for me.

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

        What's your team?

  4. el polako

    44 points yay !!
    Massive red arrow incoming.

  5. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Barnes to Abraham worth a hit?

  6. Champions united
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Should I get tammy or he is injured?
    If not him then whom vardy?

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wait

  7. S.Kuqi

    Most memorable fpl weekend in ages

    1. el polako

      Feck it.

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      For the wrong reasons

  8. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Are BAPS final ?

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

    How many cs you reckon chelsea can get in next 6 ?

    BHA sot NEW bur wat CPL

    Looking to punt on Tomori if Rudiger is back for next gw

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

      Same.. I think they could get a couple. But for 4.5 a few is more than enough. I know people are slating Chelsea defensively, but they seem to forget, that you have to compare Tomori to other 4.5's and not 5.5-7.0 defenders... Another potentially bargain is obviously Soy. He is also one I'm considering.

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

        Same. Im looking to get in one of Soy or Tomori for Digne

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

      2

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

      either 2 or 3 most likely

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

    Which move do you prefer?

    Pope
    TAA Mina Dunk
    Sterling KDB Martial Mount
    Aguero Abraham Pukki
    ____
    Button; Ceballos Kelly Lundstram

    2 FT 0.0 ITB

    A) Mina -> Tomori and bank FT
    B) Mina + Dunk -> Soy + Tomori and bank the cash
    C) Martial + Ceballos + Mina -> Son + Soy/Tomori + 4.5 mid -4
    D) Sterling + Martial + Mina -> Salah + Bilva + Soy/Tomori -4
    E) Sterling + Mina + Ceballos -> Salah + Ota + Dendoncker -4

    I'm leaning towards C.

    1. Am sorry to say again it�…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Shipping Sterling...tragic

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

        Yeah would be pretty tragic I admit.. But my only way to get Liverpool cover.

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

      Why would you sell Sterling?

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

        Only way to get Liverpool cover and still improve the defence without tearing up the balance of the team ie. selling Aguero

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

      Would be lovely, if you actually answered the question as well guys 🙂

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

    WC result +27 points... But those Lunds point lost on the bench are killing me... Plus Auba capper, a goal, yellow card, didn't take penalty and a yellow card... Very very mixed feelings for that! All else a lovely week in PL 🙂

  12. Yankee Toffee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Will Greenwood start with Rash our? What about Martial?

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

      Midweek maybe.

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        So Martial back next weekend?

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

    damn Norwich are away again next week -_-

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

    Is it worth getting TAA instead of Robbo?
    I know Robbo socred more today.. However over the course of the season??

    Was thinking Digne to TAA this week and play double Liv defence vs Sheff UTD.
    And then ship Robbo to a cheap enabler the following week..

    Yout thoughts?

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

      Definetely worth it. Pool looks primed for a CS vs Sheffield.

  15. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Otamendi will probably rise tonight.

    Digne --> Otamendi now?

  16. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Who’s in your last chance saloon? For me it’s Digne and VVD.

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      VVD def

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

      Tough on Digne playing City next gameweek

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

      Digne for me as well. And Haller. Digne probably going first. Pepe just about hanging in there with his pen today.

    Any ideas here?

    Pope (Button)
    Digne - VD - Zinchenko - Lundstram - Rico
    Sterling - De Bruyne - Salah - McGinn - James
    Pukki - Haller - Greenwood

    1FT, 0.4 ITB

    A) Zinchenko -> Otamendi
    B) Digne & VD --> Trent & Matip (-4)
    C) James --> Mount
    D) Sterling & Greenwood --> Son & Abraham (-4)
    E) Save FT?

  21. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is Auba worth keeping?

    Am really not convinced by service to him - if I am not gonna captain him, I may as well sell him for someone like Wilson

    Suggestions please ?

    1. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Im thinking of going Abraham.

    2. have you seen cyan

  22. Daniel Exeter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Who to lose first, AWB or Digne?

    1. Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sophie's choice.

  23. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    who scores more next 3-4 weeks
    A - Salah and Barnes
    B - Son and Firmino?

  24. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Why are we ignoring Bobby.
    Could be a better option than Tammy no?

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

      2m+

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I'll make it work. I mean player for player really.

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

      Of course. But he is also like 2m more expensive

    3. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      see above

    4. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      3m cheaper than salah

  25. Royal5
    • 12 Years

    Anyone know the GW average?

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

      52ish.

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

        does that include autosubs? Surprised it's that low.

      2. Royal5

    2. Shatner's Bassoon

      About 51 apparently.

    Klopp confirms Mane got a “bad knock”...

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years

      what, really?

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

        Yeah, night off midweek, hopefully back for Sheff

  27. Yankee Toffee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Marco Silva needs to go...

  28. Pringle
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    If Abraham is fit. VvD + King --> Söy + Abraham for free?

  29. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Abraham did have quite a few opportunities today. Really liked Chelsea's attack.
    Mount or Abraham from now on looks very likely.

  30. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Anyone going Vardy over Tammy?

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

      The price is an obstacle but I would if I could afford him
