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.

    Noting worse than a Wood injury,

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years

      Nothing worse than Wood missing

      Nothing worse then Wood beeing nailed.

      Anyone heard updates of Norwich waterlogged pitch?

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

        1st I’ve heard.

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

            Why you do this. Norwich’s PL pitch will be better maintained than that

            1. Evasivo
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              I also live near there and there's floods everywhere... Regardless of pitch quality

                  It's random uncontrollable occurances that make FPL interesting imo

        I live there and its been very wet - but that would be amateurish for it to cancel the game. Hasn't been crazy bad.

              Try and get the message through please oh please. Tell him I have Perez first sub so he either needs 4 or fake an injury in the warm up, those are his choices

        Could even upgrade Greenwood to Connolly if I did all 3 moves today before rises and drops. 3 moves would be -4 so maybe not worth it.

        Also if I wait till tomorrow Vardy will rise but I will get more info about my other players.

    4. Tsparkes10

      Still got 6 to play. This game week is slow af lol

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

      Connolly’s assists were from being fouled, meaning he didn’t get BPS for creating a chance and/or big chance.

      He only completed 6 passes and was tackled once.

      Frustrating for owners but just the nature of his two assists.

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

        Good thing I can post on this account too and get listened to

      2. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Owners should be thankful for the assists

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

          And this one

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

        So if he had 4 assists from being fouled, he would still been out of bonus?

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

          Hard to understand isn’t it

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

            I know you are in pain coz of Perez

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

              Thanks, people like you are good as you understand when people are being rude it could be because they’re having a rough day. Thanks for your consideration and good luck x

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

          You get 12 BPS for an assist.

      4. I Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        8 points from a 4.5m forward shouldn't be frustrating at all.

      5. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He was really active.
        Low centre of gravity fast and hungry for the ball.
        Needs to work on his positioning bit this will come with the experience

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

          Bright future 🙂

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

      Wilson + CHO to Vardy + Douglas Luiz?

      I just think there will be too much rotation with CHO and Connolly deserves a starting spot in my team

    7. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Wilson -> Vardy for free about as easy as it gets?

      1. The_Fish

        Yup

    8. Peter Ouch

    9. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Wilson & Otamendi > Jimenez & Chilwell or Robbo?

      Robbo would give me triple pool defence inc Virgil & Trent.

      1. MiLK2018
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Chilwell or Pereira then

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

      Cantwell & Aguero > Stering & Connolly. yes or no?

      1. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Not before Southampton.
        Wait to see who's playing midweek.
        Kun or jesus.

        Just imagine if kun play vs saints

      2. Dosh
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I don't think Kun will be benched 3 league games in a row.... But it's Pep

      3. Calderano FC
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Good move

      4. *sigh*

        Yes

      That digne own goal let down my draw special for £190 :angry:

        Couldn't cash out?

        1. Rash
          • 6 Years

          Could haven taken £120 90th mins, greed I guess.

      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Those getting mendy in, next 8 fixtures after SOU include Chelsea, United, Arsenal, Pool and Leicester, and the other 3 are away games.

      Maybe Alonso/Chilwell are better options?

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

        So 1 tough game?

        A game in which Mendy got 6 points last season.

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

          Not tough but can concede against any of them. Some quality attacks

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

        I would just stay away from City rotation defence nightmare.

      3. *sigh*
        • 12 Years

        Maybe they’re not.

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor

          What do you mean?

      4. The Ejiptian King

        That's a run for Kun.

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

          No doubt, but not great for a defender

    14. Dosh
      • 10 Years

      Why does David Silva have a goal to his name when Gundogan scored??

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

        They both scored

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

        Because these days teams are allowed to score more than one goal

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

      Early thoughts on these moves, for a hit?Digne + C.Wilson ➡ Cancelo + Lacazette

      1. Kaiser123
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Get it done and then relax.

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

          Cancelo or Matip?

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

        I think it's too early to consider Lacazette, just back from a long injury and he hasn't looked himself since his return.

    16. Kaiser123
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Just done Wilson/Digne to Vardy / Soy. Need to get rid of Zinc. I have 5.8 ITB. Just missed out on Mendy, any other suggestions?

      1. Kaiser123
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Cancelo vs Matip ?

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

      Here’s a bit of blasphemy:

      I’m considering TAA + Wilson > Janmaat + Vardy

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        TAA surely a season keeper?

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

          Surely? Worst form in my team and 7.2m

      Horrible GW so far...just Vardy last night without any other LEI assets, then Dilva only slightly outscores KDB after teaching him who's boss!
      Further City woes...Sterling(C) didn't do much, to add to that pain I had a Mahrez no show with some Irish youngster coming off my bench only to be hauled off early! Ahwell...onwards and upwards eh!

              Kane claimed the last touch. VAR failed, yet again.

              Hey guys, 2 FT and zero ITB. Best to wait for mid week EFL line ups before deciding which City assets to get ahead of Southampton?

              Currently have Kun, KDB and Ota.

              CHO going to cameo, isn’t he?

              Connolly first on my bench. Could use some jam.

                We won't get that lucky. I think he's got a chance of returns anyway - it's not like Kun. I'd expect the odd benching for 6m. Not 12.2m
