Hudson-Odoi benched as injured Wood misses out for Burnley

The 3.5% of Fantasy Premier League managers invested in Callum Hudson-Odoi (£6.0m) were left in the lurch by Frank Lampard’s latest team sheet.

After an assist in each of his last three league outings, the exciting winger has been named on the bench for the first time since Gameweek 7.

Hudson-Odoi has been replaced int he starting line-up by Christian Pulisic (£7.1m) after the American himself displayed strong form of late.

It looks as if Lampard has lined his troops up in a 4-3-3 formation for the trip to Burnley, which might be a little bit discouraging for owners of Mason Mount (£6.9m), although he does start.

It is probable that the budget midfielder will be deployed in the central midfield trio alongside Jorginho (£5.1m) and Mateo Kovačić (£5.3m), having spent much of this season in attacking midfield.

Tammy Abraham (£7.8m) leads the line, of course, flanked by Pulisic and Willian (£7.0m).

Meanwhile, Burnley are missing Chris Wood (£6.2m) to injury, with Jay Rodriguez (£5.7m) coming into the side to replace him alongside Ashley Barnes (£6.4m).

Burnley XI: Pope; Pieters, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton; McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Hendrick; A Barnes, Rodriguez.

Chelsea XI: Kepa; Alonso, Tomori, Zouma, Azpilicueta; Mount, Jorginho, Kovačić; Willian, Abraham, Pulisic.

    Around what minute has Lampard substituted his attackers? Really hope CHO can get 20+ mins

      Pulicic won't last too long in a rainy Burnley home game

    2. Ask Yourself

      Probably getting about that

    Do you think Chilwell is worth the 0.7m over Soy?

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He did get 13 points more

    2. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Soy has no attacking threat.
      I think he deserves it

    3. Will Kane
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Definitely

    4. FOO FIGHTER

      Yes

    Would someone please explain to me why Silva was awarded the KDB goal? So the PL awards an ‘offside’ goal and undermines the referee on-field decision and VAR. Absolutely fuming!!!!!

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Different bodies coming to different conclusions because they require different standards of evidence, I think.

      1. John Colby (Capt)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Well said - seriously peeved. There is no absolute clear-cut evidence that it’s Silva’s goal and even though (The PL) they’ve said it’s his goal they’re admitting it’s an offside goal and undermine the ref and the VAR system. Not fair at all. Just because Silva ‘thinks’ he scored it because he’s a nice chap it shouldn’t have been overturned. Really infuriating.

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

      Silva G should have meant Sterling offside...

      Expect them to be nothing but consistently inconsistent.

    3. Surfeit of Lampteys
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not the referees decision but the var review yes. It's mad. If it's Silva's goal, it's offside. Guess they just thought well it doesn't really make much difference. Can't disallow the goal now and wasn't crucial.

    4. Party time
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Goal was always for Dilva but someone in the var room had Dilva & had to give it to kdb until fulltime 😉

      Late to the discussion I know, but I am fed up with this Aguero benching bullsh*t yet again. Guarantee if I take him out he will start and score 4 next weekend now. Seriously fed up of this season already.

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years

        alwayyyys a risk owning city players man, you should've thought that.

      2. Pacer.
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Just stop buying Aguero then

      3. OneDennisBergkamp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Of course, but even this very website had him in the scout picks, tipped him as the least chance of being rested out of the big hitters and even had him the top pick in the Captain Sensible article.

        Seriously feel like I cannot do anything right at the moment. Whats more is I went for Wilson over Vardy 2 weeks ago and look how that has gone too.

      4. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        High risk, high reward with City assets I guess

      5. LE CHARO
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Tough situation to be in, I got him in GW7 and he's been benched 3 out of 4 times. He must go now, but after Southampton's performance yesterday, if he starts that game there's no way he doesn't haul. I feel kinda stuck with him.

      Tammy, Mount, Tomori need 25 from 3, Let's go!

          Boly is injured, might be a broken ankle.

          Ah. All right, then. Getting rid of Ota it is.

        I think he’ll serve the ban in the cup midweek.

      3. Clintymints

        His ban will be for the cup game midweek though, right?

        Just came back from a really serious injury it was never going to happen

    11. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Absolutely awful from Sheffield in the last 20 mins. In a 1-1 scoreline, they send no one to attack in a free kick around 80 min mark and a corner around 87'. Needed 1 more save from Roberto to get save point 😛

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

      Kun's benching has become quite the nuisance. Torn at the moment whether to take him out or take one final chance against Soton.

      1. sunzip14
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        bought him for a -4 by selling Kane. Almost certain to lose .2 by next game. Think we need to take one more chance!

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

          The general consensus here is that if he plays midweek then he's not starting again. Let's see. One more chance it is then.

    13. jayzico
      • 13 Years

      Did C.Wilson get injured?

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        No but he injured everyone’s day who had to watch him

      2. Top Lad Dakes.

        May as well have

    14. Says

      I really hate the negative points for own goals rule. You can't account for it, and they're often either unavoidable or unlucky consequences of being in the right place trying to do the right thing.

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I've always thought the own goal should only affect the player responsible. Not the keeper. I mean, I get it, but that's the part that frustrates me with OGs.

    15. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Watch Wilson wreck havoc vs Man Utd as I transfer him out. You’re welcome!

    16. theodosios
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Connolly with 2 assists out of BAPS...Maybe he wasn't so good but we've seen much worse performances getting bonus in the end...

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        His two assists were fouls

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Or getting fouled

        2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Doesn't matter, assist is an assist

          1. theodosios
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            this

          2. Ask Yourself
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            No kidding. Just means that they aren’t as well rewarded in BPS because it’s a fantasy assist and therefore wasn’t supplemented by a key pass or Big chance created. Lucky to get the assist points at all really but there we go

      2. Napoleon IV
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        he must have only kicked the ball those two times

    17. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Wilson still outscores Aguero since I got him on WC lmaoo

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        and Pepe outscores Mahrez since KDB injury 😀

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Mahrez has scored 13 points in 2 weeks for me, I'll take it.

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

            same here - Rico sub both times. Would be happy to keep if his price wasn't going down so quickly

            1. The Ejiptian King
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Hopefully we can see what happens in the cup game before he drops.

    18. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Early thoughts on these moves, for a hit?

      Digne + C.Wilson ➡ Matip + Lacazette

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Don’t touch Matip

        1. Slitherene
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Why not?

    19. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Which max 4.5?

      A) Lascelles
      B) Willems
      C) Chambers
      D) Guilbert
      E) Janmaat

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Lascelles

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

        I'd say Willems or Janmaat but Guilbert long term

    20. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I held Trossard through his whole injury, and the light at the end of the tunnel was 4 points lol. Ah well, he's off for Sterling I think

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        you have one more good fixture, keep he will start next week for sure. An assist is not bad for a bench start

      2. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He’s got norwich at home next and just set up the winning goal getting minutes from the bench why would you sell?

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Because Sterling captained vs Southampton

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            just captain kdb, its a bad move

            1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              I'm already on kdb, but I can tell it's going to be an absolute massacre and I feel huge hauls in that game. Depending on midweek performance and lineups it's very tempting

      3. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He could the highest scoring player of the week next game.

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          could be*

          • 7 Years

          I mean, so could some tosspot like Wood

          1. The Ejiptian King
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Hopefully it's the Trosspot, I might get him in.

            1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              For one game? Awful fixtures

              1. The Ejiptian King
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Maybe two, easy fixture at Old Trafford after Norwich.

    21. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      All this horrific season needs now is Barnes G, 1-0 FT.

      If Fernandinho is injured will otamendi play next week?

      1. Rainer

        Midweek*

      2. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I guess lol but he isn’t injured

        1. Super Nashwan
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Suspended I mean

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Only misses mid week. Ota is second choice now and will remain so for the weekend whilst Ferna gets some well earned rest

    23. Will Kane
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Just sold Wilson. Felt good, had him since the start have wanted to get rid of him for weeks. Rancid stats and I think that's 3 games in a row Bournemouth have failed to score.

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Will Kane score, though?

    24. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Mount to CHO = fail?

      Unless Mount blanks.

        • 5 Years

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah, I held 🙂

    25. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Targett or Janmaat or Lascelles

    26. Pedram
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Damn Digne own goal, that was harsh for owners who still had faith in him.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        His fixtures are sh*te. Get rid.

      2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years

        Swap to Mendy looks appealing

    27. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

      Playing the fan team game and have Silva and no KDB or Mendy. Idiots aren't changing the points so original decision is standing. In FPL I have KDB (C) and Mendy but no Silva but FPL have changed it. Absolutely shafted twice.
