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.

    Enough with Digne, ship for:

    X. Chillwell
    Y. Robbo (double with TAA)

      In the same boat, lots of options especially if you have cash ITB

      My shortlist, in no particular order:

      Willems, Alonso, Mendy, Boly (if not our long term), Pereira/Chilwell, Tierney

      1. FIRMINOLOOKGOAL

        Jetro fixtures are tasty but not quite sure on Toon attacking returns. Chelsea defence is leaking. So maybe City or Foxes defender. Cheers!

    52 with Pepe, Auba, Mane & TAA left. It feels good for sure, my current score im happy with but my remaining players excite me more. Pepe brace would be a dream

    72 points with Jimenez, TAA and VvD to go. Attacking-return or CS from all my players except Pope. Happy times.

        Best “perfect hat trick” left, right, head, since Rob Lees v Royal Antwerp many moons ago.

      4. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I have 1 FT so what would you do

        Otamendi to TAA or
        Pukki to Firmino

        Desperetaly want to rid of Pukki, but Ota is problem too

      5. Yoshioka
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        CHO is only 18 and is pretty much the ideal impact sub. Pulisic took a while to get going, but after his last couple of games his place is pretty much his to lose you'd think. Willian will start on the other flank - Lampard loves him and recently called him their best player. Mount and Tammy aren't going anywhere. Plus now CHO has signed his long term contract there's less pressure to start him to keep him happy too. I reckon he'll get a few starts here and there, but not enough to warrant keeping him in fpl for me. There'll be more frustrating sub appearances like today. Was good while he lasted.

        If you could pick any goalie which would you go for?

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

          Henderson

        2. Yoshioka
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I'd honestly gamble on Gazza after this week out of the cheapies. Spurs are so atrocious that the first thing they're gonna have to do is go back to basics and tighten up. Plus there are no convincing clean sheet machines out there, even among the expensive keepers.

        3. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          henderson double up with lunds, which I will do after their bad fixtures probably

        4. The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          The one I have got at the moment: Ryan with Button as back-up. Nobody is keeping cleansheets.

        5. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Pretty happy with Ryan

      7. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Wilson + Pieters ➡ Vardy + Prodl for free sounds good? Gives me -

        Pope
        TAA - Tomori - Lundstram
        Sterling - KDB - Son - Mount - Yarmolenko
        Aubameyang - Vardy

        Woodman - Connolly - Hanley - Prodl

        1. Flaming Flamingo
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I wouldn't feel comfortable downgrading to Prodl given the rest of your bench/defence

          1. pundit of punts
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            What other way can you get Vardy in?

            1. Flaming Flamingo
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              I wouldn't, not this week at least. But downgrading Aubameyang/Son would look the best way if you did want him for Palace.

        2. 007 [RoboKlopp]
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Yes

        3. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Downgrade Son imo, Martial could be an option.....

      8. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Score and players check? 35 with Mane Trent here. Meh.

        Content with 5 apiece from Rico Tammy and Mount, and at least Pope ended up in positive points! Maddison disappointing overall but still 8pts. Lundstram so close to more, unlucky benching Soyuncu for him 🙁 KDB decent, but Aguero captain fail and Wilson utter dross my biggest problems - likely making way for Vardy GW12 and Jimenez next week respectively.

        1. pundit of punts
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          43 with Auba, TAA and Son to go.

        2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years

          41 with Mane, trent, auba. Meh

        5. Party time
            4 years, 5 months ago

            60(-4) after baps with Salah, Mané, Trent, Pukki, Martial

              • 7 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Everyone better than me then lol. Maddison only Leicester and Kun(c) with no Raz hurt a lot.

              Or just the good scorers posting. Or both

              1. Party time
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  Lol... The lads left to play will smash it for you buddy, gameweek not over yet

            2. clempro
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              46 points, with Soyuncu to come in for Ota. TAA and Salah left to play.
              Similar to you, got the KDB, Mount, Tammy and Rico points, Lundstram got close, and disappointing Kun (C) as well. Vardy is the main difference, gutted I didn't captain him but oh well, that's how you learn...

            3. Silecro
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Thats fairly okay. I'm on 41 with Jimenez, Trent and Salah to go, and will be happy with 60

            4. THFC4LIFE

              64 with just TAA left to play, big red tomorrow

              1. have you seen cyan
                • 4 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                nah that will beat the average by like 10 points

                1. THFC4LIFE
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  I meant a big red from the rank I get today.....

            5. The Big Fella
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              42 with Robbo, TAA, Salah and Cantwell to go

            6. Motty FPL
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              26pts mate. Digne fail, aguero cap fail, rico on bench fail, CHO fail. Mane and taa wont save me. One of those weeks..

          • 007 [RoboKlopp]
            • 7 Years

            Tielemans anyone?

            1. clempro
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Very tempted

          • Silecro
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Would you bring Tielemans instead of CHO for -4? ...is it worth it?

          • tricpic
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Auba, McGinn and Ota
            to
            Mendy, Pullisic and Vardy
            for -4
            Yay or nay?
            Feels super knee jerky

            Brady. Played 11 minutes, got booked and still matched KDB.

          • Differentiator
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            How long until Tomori OG is impossible because 1 hr has passed

            Don't care if it's given after the house 😆

          • Top Lad Dakes.
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Wilson to Jimenez (FT) and roll the other sound decent? Full team effectively described above, or linked.

            Willing to give Kun SOU unless he plays 90 midweek, before swapping for Vardy

            1. Herman Toothrot
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years

              At least wait until he plays tomorrow

          • Ritchies Magic Hat
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Don’t really like doing early transfers but will have to move tonight to get on the Vardy party bus. Which of these defensive switches looks best to afford it?

            A) Pope to Gazzaniga
            B) Diop to Janmaat
            Or
            C) Hold (keep Wilson)

          • PlayPercentage
            • 13 Years

            Time to ditch Pope?
            Are there better options in the same price bracket?

            1. The Big Fella
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              I've got Ryan and I am happy. Save points most weeks and the odd CS

          • FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Mount definitely a season keeper.

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

              He’s definitely a midfielder

            • 7 Years

            So Vardy has a 45% goal conversion rate and 6 of his 11 returns came when the opposition was down to 10 men..hmmmmmmm
            Food for thought?

            1. FOO FIGHTER
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              I do not think stats an Vardy really matter at this point.

          • Drinkndrive
            • 4 Years

            Who is the selection to go? Mount or pulisic?

            1. Nabs Kebabs
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              the one who has played well more than once
