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.

    Chelsea are so lucky it makes me sick

      Lucky?

    2. Lev Yashin
      • 11 Years

      Lucky they paid £50m + for a player who scored two goals.

    Perhaps it is time for Lampard to drop Willian and play CHO, Abraham, Mount and Pulisic.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years

      That looks like a dreadful forward line imo. Needs Willian in there

      Suspect that's what's being built to - Chelsea fans have been looking to it since the start of the season.

      CHO needs a rest though.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years

        Agree. Cho for Willian. Cho had played a lot so this rest was expected

    3. Burton

      Willian's not having the best game, but none of their other options put in the insane amount of running that he does. Without switching formations, their midfield would be collapsed souffle-style by any opposing manager with half a brain. In my humble o.

    Abraham, Mount, CHO owner - no points

    Agghhhhh

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years

      Normal people would not love it. They would hate it

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years

      Yup

  8. Lev Yashin
    • 11 Years

    Damn it. Game on the way to being safe so CHO can come on and cockblock my Rico bench points.

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      He was always likely to come on

    CHO losing his spot

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

  11. Rainer

  12. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 7 Years

    Yep, it’s gonna finish another 9-0 and I’m getting nothing from Alonso, Mount and Abraham.

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

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      You lost them because you didn't captain Vardy.

      1. Miniboss
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Word!

      2. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years

        😀

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

      You mean you captained Kun because you wanted his points, right?

  14. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    CHO buyers selling to Pulisic at half time in case prices are about to change?

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

      Sell before KO to get his points too.

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

    Perez > Pulisic?

  16. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years

    Is the fraud Tammy going to do anything?

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

      Good positions but not getting picked out

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

      He's barely a footballer

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

      Walk around for another 20 mins then watch Batman score.

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      On track to have a single goal from 5 gameweeks of football that included games against Brighton, Southampton, Newcastle and Burnley

      Wow

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

        Tough, but he was temporarily essential, no doubt. Sadly these footballers who do nothing but put the ball in the net are utter sickeners when not scoring

  17. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Worst run ever in 5 years. Wildcarded last week and going from 1m to 2m.

    Kun and CHO no show
    Kdb loses goal
    Boly may be crocked.

    What on earth to do with this lot? Assuming kun starts midweek, do I seel him before saints next weekend??

    Pope

      1. Flynny

        4 years, 6 months ago

        Never before had so little clue about what to do....

        Guess wait and see city team sheet midweek first....

  18. Silecro

    CHO > Cantwell
    Wilson > Vardy (-4)

    looking tempting now....even if i throw up just thinking about bringing cantwell back

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

      Surely not Cantwell

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

        I can do straight swap CHO > Barnes (leicester)? even tho he's least tempting leicester forward option...but 4 asists last 2 weeks

    2. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Cantendwell

    3. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 5 Years

      Why get rid of Cho??

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

      Forget Cantwell. Hernandez working his way back to full fitness and looked more effective in his 9 mins sub appearance, against Bournemouth last GW, than Cantwell did all match.

  19. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Relax, all it'll take is one mount assist to Tammy in 45 mins

    • Dacra
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Pope, Tomori, Mount, Abraham.

      Expecting a Burnley goal to complete the blanks.

      1. balint84

        Same in here

    • DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

      Frank knows.

    • balint84
      • 8 Years

      Why is Abraham not producing? Should sell him?

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah go on then.

      2. Rainer
        • 7 Years

        Cause he’s shite & used up his luck.

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

        He's not really involved and given the fact Pulisic likes to do things on his own it won't get much better 😀

    • Ha.
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Perez > Pulisic?

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

        I’m thinking of this aswell

    • JELLYFISH
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Running out of patience with Tammy...was similar at Villa last season.

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

        You must be kidding, right?

      2. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Lol, 1 goal off top scorer in the league... but your FPL team of course doesn't show that...

    • FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Does Fernandinho miss a league game or the cup game mid week over his red card?

      1. Miniboss
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Should be the cup match

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          So I thought. Still have to sell Ota so.

    • FPL Daniel

      Cho Mount and Tammy triple owners group hug 🙁

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

        Lol. Well feeling glad I avoided the CHO trap

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

          Not over yet

        2. TheDragon
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          He isn’t a trap - no one has bought him for just 1 week

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

        Cho 2nd half hatty??

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years

    • Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Does CHO play on Willian's side too, or is it Pulisic vs CHO?

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

        All 3 can play on either side

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

        Played there a few times last season under Sarri.
