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.

    Mentioned in passing here a bit earlier. Nothing known for sure - but Boly suffers a training ground accident and a few twitter rumours about his ankle being broken.

      Poor guy,hopefully it is not that bad.

      Who comes into the Wolves squad for him?

        Not sure - but I personally will just bump up to Mendy/Robbo or down to Newcastle. Probably the latter and I can get Salah.

      I’m selling him this week and putting him on the black list, never owning again.

      Worst troll! 😆

    Waiting for the line up in the carabao cup before selling Aguero, could end up costing me upto 3 pips.

    1. Rainer

      What will the lineup reveal?

        If Aguero starts, it suggests that Jesus starts next weekend IMO

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

          Kun started midweek before Wolves, then last week...

          There’s not logic to it.

            Yes there is lol it's called rotation

            6 years you've had an account

      2. SH1M1
        • 12 Years

        I wouldn't want to sell Aguero with Southampton at Home to come, wait one more week imo

    2. semiconductor
      • 9 Years

      I have exact funds to transfer out Wilson+Otam for Vardy+Willems (or any 4.5m defender)

      1. semiconductor
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Should i do the moves?

      2. Gooders
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Think I will be doing Ota & Wilson > Rico and Vardy

        1. semiconductor
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I do have rico already. Thinking willems or lowton

        2. semiconductor
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I would do these moves if i didn't have Rico

    3. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I understand Willian is in the team for 'experience' but come on Odoi needs to be playing...

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

        Needs a rest.

        A lot of minutes after a long layoff.

      2. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Willian has been one of their better players, recently

        1. Postman Ty
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          For a few games ya he was great, but never world beating, last match he was terrible and the start of this one hasn't been good.

      3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I think it’s more to do with being rested as he’s played quite a few in a row within short periods straight after injury.

        I’d be surprised if he’s not straight back into the first 11 next week.

      4. Mikeharbrw
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Willian plays so that Azpi doesn't get horribly exposed. The other wingers don't track back as much.

        1. Postman Ty
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          That's a fair point. May I introduce you to my friend Reece James.

          1. Mikeharbrw
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            I'd like to see Azpi back in a back 3 with James and Alonso WBs. Think 3-4-3 would get the best out of the players we have. Not sure where you fit Mount in a 3-4-3 though.

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

              No Emerson?

              1. Postman Ty
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                He's not good enough to worry about leaving out, Alonso is more suited to wingbacks but I'm sure we'll have a new left back as soon as the window opens.

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

                  Right. Interesting. Thanks!

            2. Postman Ty
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              It would be good but I would rather see the extra midfielder. Way too much talent in Jorginho, Mount, Kante, Kova, and Ruben to leave out 3 of them. Even in a back three I don't think Azpi gets in the best 11 anymore when all the centre backs are fit.

    4. OverTinker
      • 5 Years

      Mount to Hudson-Odoi on WC seems like a huge mistake now

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Nah its fine

        1. OverTinker
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          and Pulisic scores. I doubt CHO will get good enough minutes from now onwards

          1. Postman Ty
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            CHO is the best winger a the club, don't be silly.

          2. GreennRed
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Hudson Odoi rested. He's knackered, looked tired v Ajax.

      2. Peter Ouch

        It will pay off.

        I think people need to realise this kids are not going to mantain this high level full season... sooner or later their form is gonna drop. I actually think its already dropping, especially if Lamps continues to play play them in champions league as well.
