Pulisic gets the nod over Hudson-Odoi as Emerson returns at left-back

The eighth and final match of a busy Saturday of Premier League football sees Watford take on Chelsea.

Kick-off at Vicarage Road is at 17:30 GMT.

Frank Lampard’s main selection dilemma has gone the way of Christian Pulisic (£7.2m), who has been given the nod to start on the left flank.

Callum Hudson-Odoi (£6.0m) is only among the substitutes.

Emerson Palmieri (£5.5m) has returned at left-back, meanwhile, with Marcos Alonso (£6.3m) dropping to the bench.

Frank Lampard’s side are otherwise unchanged from the team that beat Burnley last weekend.

Andre Gray (£5.7m) replaces the injured Tom Cleverley (£4.9m) in Quique Sanchez Flores’ only alteration from Gameweek 10.

Watford have only scored one goal in their last five Premier League games, although Lampard’s troops haven’t kept an away clean sheet in the top flight this season.

Chelsea have averaged four goals per game in their last four league fixtures on the road, however.

Tammy Abraham (£7.8m) and Mason Mount (£6.9m) haven’t blanked in any one of those four games.

Abraham was the second-most-bought Fantasy Premier League forward of Gameweek 11 and remains the most-owned asset in FPL overall.

Pulisic himself was bought by just under 135,000 Fantasy managers ahead of this game.

Watford XI: Foster, Kabasele, Dawson, Cathcart, Janmaat, Doucouré, Chalobah, Masina, Deulofeu, Gray, Pereyra.

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Tomori, Zouma, Emerson, Kovacic, Jorginho, Mount, Willian, Abraham, Pulisic.

    I've had 7 players play +Rico on bench. Captain Dr Bruyne only one not too return

    So who's praying for Lund jam off the bench? Not that you deserve it...

      I swapped McGinn to bench for him but hadn't saved it...
      Hoping Tomori is dropped. Fuming. 10 points lost if not. Unless Tomori has a blinder

    2FTs, 0.3itb
    1) Ota, Button > Soy, Krul
    2) Ota > Chilwell and save
    3) Ota, Cantwell > Kelly, Ayoze

    For #1, I like Chilwell over Soy, but also wonder if I need a GK for gws 15 & 16. Pope is my starter and has tough fixtures then.

    Who do I need to lose first? Both seriously annoying and need a captain pick next week.

    A) Poopy CDM Kevin Deep Bruyne > Son (SHU)
    B) Pep’s least favourite Silva > Martial (BRI)

      I won't lie, I've definitely mentioned that in another thread. It's why I pulled the trigger on my WC to bring in my GW12 & 13 players early. #GW12 is down to Tammy and Vardy now.
