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.

    Almost another goal for Pulisic

  7. Ask Yourself

    4 years, 6 months ago

    Pope trying his best to dive out the way of a shot straight at him. He definitely transferred in pulisic

  8. Ajax Hamsterdam

    Chilwell worth the extra cash over soy or were Southampton just plain awful

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      They lost 9-0 at home. I'd say awful

    2. Hazz

      Yes and yes.

      Southampton were unlucky.

  9. Gobigorgohome

    I think I will do Mount to Pulisic

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

      Then Pulisic to CHO next week?

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook

        This

  10. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Pope is working hard to get benched

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

    Abraham was 'essential' a few games back. Beware the striker who can't play football, I guess. Those assists footballers get add up

    What a troll!!

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years

      I’ve literally NEVER had a single goal from him whilst owning him over 3 years

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

      Think the question is why did you troll yourself and take out a player who returned two matches in a row

      1. Jolly Good
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Needed to join the pukki party .. don’t repent it

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

          Well, it is the story of your trolling yourself. Taking out players who score, then putting them back in after they blank

          That's playing fantasy football the wrong way round

    3. *sigh*
      • 12 Years

      Was just going to post something similar. Returned every week until I bought him. Question is do we stick or twist?

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

      Off-course he didn't deliver the second time when you unsettle him like that.

  13. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Another disgusting gameweek

  14. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Barnes just needed a touch there

  15. Hy liverpool
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Lol barnes

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

    Barnes jumping out the way of an open goal chance. He defiantly transferred in Tomori

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

      And yes he did it defiantly aswell

    Big miss that

  19. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Don't like new Mount position

  20. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Barnes how can you even miss that!?

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

      Eyes closed.

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

        Even then it’s shocking

  21. bialk
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Barnes the worst player ever.

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

    Barnes will never get his England call up with finishing like that.

    1. bialk
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Is he English?

  23. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Mount too deep in this set up

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      If Pulisic is nailed then he would be far more appealing than Mount

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        But likely not nailed, though, whereas Mount is by the looks of it.

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

    mount got nothing yet? he looking good?

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

      basically completely out of the game like Tammy

    2. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Nop... too deep

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

      Barely heard his name on commentary.

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

    Kane to Vardy
    Cantwell to max 6.5m mid

    No Chelsea attack if that makes a difference.

    Which mid?

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Not watching the game. Is mount playing deeper now?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

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

      Completely anonymous

    3. *sigh*
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Years, was hinted in prematch when line ups came out.

      1. *sigh*
        • 12 Years

        *Yes

  27. Sailboats

    Shocking miss from Barnes

  28. Sloane426
    • 4 Years

    Ota to start next week after the Fernandinho red card?

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

      He should

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

      Should start the Saints game.

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

        :O

    3. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Will serve suspension mid week during their league cup fixture.

  29. FOO FIGHTER

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years

    2. bialk
      • 14 Years

  30. Cojiro

    Best United defender? AWB or Maguire? Have 5.6 to spend so open to other ideas

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

      Here's an idea, dont get a United defender.
