Clean sheet loss mars another fine Chelsea away performance

Watford 1-2 Chelsea

  • Goals: Gerard Deulofeu (£6.1m) | Tammy Abraham (£7.9m), Christian Pulisic (£7.2m)
  • Assists: None | Jorginho (£5.1m), Abraham
  • Bonus: Abraham x3, Pulisic x2, Deulofeu x1

Chelsea continued their fine away form at Vicarage Road on Saturday evening, registering their fifth successive victory on their travels.

The narrow winning margin flattered Watford, who had Ben Foster (£4.8m) to thank for keeping the scoreline down as Chelsea swarmed all over their hosts.

Any Fantasy manager who opted to back the Blues ahead of their fixture swing in Gameweek 7 has been nicely rewarded, with Frank Lampard’s side scoring 13 goals and winning all five league matches since their defeat to Liverpool in September.

It’s away from home where Chelsea have really shone this season.

No Premier League club has scored more goals or registered more shots on the road than the Blues in 2019/20.

It took just four minutes of Saturday’s encounter at Vicarage Road for Lampard’s side to add to their tally, with Tammy Abraham (£7.9m) latching onto a majestic Jorginho (£5.1m) pass and lobbing Foster to put Chelsea ahead.

Abraham turned provider for Christian Pulisic (£7.2m) to tap in after the break but there were numerous other chances besides, with Abraham wasting the best of them when being denied by Foster from ten yards.

The busy Watford goalkeeper also prevented Mason Mount (£6.9m) from recording a fifth attacking return away from home, pushing one of the midfielder’s efforts onto the bar, and did brilliantly to claw out a looping Pulisic header from a Willian (£7.1m) corner.

Mount was again thwarted by Foster after the break and Pulisic was only prevented from scoring a second goal when the hosts’ shot-stopper stuck out a boot to deflect the American’s shot wide.

Abraham was also inches away from turning in a Mateo Kovacic (£5.3m) cross-shot and there were some real positive signs for owners of Chelsea’s cut-price attacking assets, with Mount, Pulisic and Abraham registering 12 shots between them on Saturday.

Lampard was full of praise for his troops, whilst also bemoaning the Blues’ profligacy and Foster’s goalkeeping:

We dominated the game, played some great football for big periods of it and created enough chances. You have to give credit to Ben Foster because he made some great saves but we feel ourselves that there’s at least three or four goals in that game.

Two goals is never enough to put a game to bed. We’ve felt that already this season and it’s been a bit of a story of our season at times, especially away from home, but that shouldn’t take away from how well we played.

I enjoyed watching a lot of the play. For 25 minutes, it was outstanding and we controlled it, then we got a bit sloppy but again in the second half the link between Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic and Mason Mount a bit higher was really good. They’re all comfortable on the ball, they have the ability to find a forward pass and break the line and Kovacic, in particular, drove from midfield a couple of times. I thought they were outstanding.

Asked about why his side were so potent away from west London, Lampard added:

Maybe away from home teams open up against us slightly more. I don’t think today was one of those days but it’s happened in certain games, which then gives us the opportunity with the pace we’ve got in forward areas that we can counter-attack and create chances. Whereas at the Bridge, teams come and make it difficult for us to do that with as much freedom.

Those cautionary words from Lampard may well be at the back of Fantasy managers’ minds, too, with three of Chelsea’s next four league games being home fixtures against Crystal Palace, West Ham United and Aston Villa.

While Mount maintained his ever-present league record and Abraham started his ninth top-flight game in a row, regular starts aren’t something that Callum Hudson-Odoi (£6.0m) can count on – at least for now.

Following his blank in Gameweek 10, the Chelsea winger served up a one-point cameo off the bench on Saturday with Pulisic handed another start down the left flank.

Speaking of the USA international and his poacher’s goal, Lampard said:

It’s great to see Christian scoring a goal from four yards out. I love to see that because he could have decided not to go the extra mile and then that ball flashes across the face but nobody gets on the end of it.

If he continues doing that sort of thing then the goals will rack up because there are a lot of goals to get in the six-yard box. I thought his general performance was top as well.

There was also frustration for owners of Chelsea’s defensive assets, who were scarcely troubled and cruising towards a third clean sheet of the season before some over-playing at the back resulted in Jorginho fouling Gerard Deulofeu (£6.1m) – the contentious spot-kick being awarded and subsequently converted after VAR intervention.

Emerson (£5.5m) returned from injury to depose Marcos Alonso (£6.3m) from the left-back slot, while there was an eighth straight start for Fikayo Tomori (£4.8m) at centre-half.

Tomori and Kurt Zouma (£4.7m) drew praise from their manager after full-time, although Lampard did also highlight the looming return of Andreas Christensen (£4.9m) and, further down the road, Antonio Rudiger (£6.0m).

The Chelsea boss said:

Andreas is nearly fit and Rudi’s got some problems so he might be a bit longer, but I need that competition.

‘I’m very pleased with how they’re both playing, I think they looked very composed against Watford and didn’t look bothered at all throughout the whole game. It’s nice they’ve been able to form a little bit of a partnership, but we need all four so when the others come back it’ll be even better for the competition.

Christensen, N’Golo Kante (£5.0m) and Ross Barkley (£5.6m) were indeed all pictured in training on Monday morning and the French midfielder has been passed fit for the Champions League game against Ajax.

Kante’s services may well be needed in Gameweek 12, with Jorginho suspended for the visit of Palace after collecting his fifth booking of the campaign.

Easier tests await Watford over the approaching three Gameweeks, with Norwich, Burnley and Southampton to come for the Hornets.

Most Fantasy managers are likely to be shying clear of the Watford attack despite the favourable fixture swing, with the Hornets having scored only two goals in the last six Gameweeks.

The fact that their two big chances in this game came from a gift of a penalty and the head of Foster – up for a corner in injury time – said much about their offensive threat, with one off-target curler from Deulofeu in the first half about the best of their opportunities from open play.

The imminent return of Troy Deeney (£6.2m), a favourite of Quique Sanchez Flores during the Watford manager’s first spell, can’t come soon enough based on recent evidence.

Sanchez Flores has made a definite improvement from a defensive perspective of late but the Hornets’ back five couldn’t live with Chelsea’s potent attack and it’s safe to say that Foster has kept his side in it over the last two Gameweeks – only Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.5m) has made more saves than the Watford custodian during this period.

Matches against out-of-form sides likes Norwich, Burnley and Southampton, of course, ought to offer better clean sheet opportunities for the likes of Daryl Janmaat (£4.3m).

Sanchez Flores was greeted with boos when withdrawing Janmaat late in the game, with Kiko Femenia (£4.2m), rather than an attacking option, thrown on in his place.

The Watford manager said afterwards:

It’s normal because sometimes in the stands we are reading a different match and probably they are thinking we have one striker on the bench. But from my point of view I have the feeling with Janmaat, we are not deep anymore.

He made a very, very good first half but he’s not deeper anymore and we need someone deeper, so the only player we have to do that in this moment was Kiko [Femenia]. Someone fresh and the position was normal, player for player.

One defender who Watford may well be without next weekend is Craig Cathcart (£4.4m), who was withdrawn with a back injury in the first half.

Sanchez Flores said:

I think he had some spasm in the back. He didn’t report anything during the week and even in the warm-up, it’s okay, nothing. But I told you in the press conference this week I said the players, when they are playing with these kind of pressures – so heavy, so bad – the body could react in a lot of directions that we can’t control.

Probably it’s the first time I’ve seen Cathcart leaving after five minutes but now the pressure is there, it’s inside of the players and the muscles are reacting differently.

Watford XI (5-4-1): Foster; Janmaat (Femenia 75′), Dawson, Cathcart (Mariappa 20′), Kabasele, Masina; Deulofeu 6.5, Chalobah (Hughes 67′), Doucoure, Pereyra; Gray.

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): Kepa; Azpilicueta, Tomori, Zouma, Emerson; Kovacic, Jorginho, Mount; Willian (James 90′), Abraham (Batshuayi 87′), Pulisic (Hudson-Odoi 83′).

    Tielemans actually a good pick?

    1. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I like the look of him as a player. Definitely considering but Maddison is probably the safer pick.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        But I've only got 6.5m.

    2. Homer21
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I'm torn between Tielemans and Maddison, leaning towards Tielemans at the moment but.......

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

        why leaning towards Tielemeans when Maddison on set pieces??

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

          Price only

  2. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Have exact cash to do Agüero, Dilva and Cantwell to Vardy, Tielemans and Salah.

    With Vardy and Tielemans going up fast and Agüero falling, is it worth doing these tonight? Cantwell to Salah I could save until after the City game but leaves me with millions sat in the bank (but not taking -4).

    1. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Wouldn't you rather have Mane? In form, cheaper and not carrying niggling injury.

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Already have Mane. Going for the double up.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      You have Mane already?

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah. Going for the double attack for the good fixtures run.

        1. clodhopper
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Carrying an injury

          1. SHOOTER MCGINN
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Surely going to be fit after the international break? Can see him pulling out of the Egypt squad

  3. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Overthinking?
    Lots of posts from Managers discussing their plans to sell City players because they are playing big clubs in the next 4 gameweeks:

    liv
    CHE
    MUN
    ars

    All these teams have leaky defences and these are teams which City can score big against with the exception of Liverpool. Look at last seasons results:

    liv 0-0
    CHE 6-0
    MUN 3-1
    ars 2-0

    Here we can see City scored 11 goals and conceded just 1 goal in the 4 fixtures. That's 2.75 goals scored per game.

    i'm holding onto my City assets, if they get a result against Liverpool, they will be extra motivated. It can also improve your rank if managers are selling their City players.

    Besides, this season has shown City are unpredictable and easy fixtures for them don't always yield the most player points.

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I think selling Sterling and KDB is likely to bite a lot of people

      1. Digital-Real
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        City vs Chelsea could be a goalfest.

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, selling non nailed players and blankers are really gonna hurt us.

        1. DantheManinaPan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Sounds to me like you're letting your emotions control your decision making.

          Sterling and KDB are the 1st and 4th highest "expected points" scorers in the game so far this season (with Salah 2nd and Aguero 3rd).

          It's entirely possible that they don't do so well over the next few, but it's certainly improbable, and to be so confident that they won't score big is naive and nonsensical

    2. Good Times
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      You're spot on, although mostly selling players that are likely to be rotated and are being rotated currently (Aguero). Sold aguero myself but holding onto sterling and Kdb

    3. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Exactly what I'm thinking

    Opinions on this please.

    Chambers and Yarmolenko to Janmaat and Tielemans?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I liked your Auba+Yarmolenko to Martial+Jimenez

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Hmmm ok , this does give me the option to bring in Robbo to. Losing Aubameyang is a tough one though.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          People telling to ditch Auba don't own him and haven't checked fixtures imo.

          1. Jullepuu
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            People saying "ditch auba" are the one's who suffered trough his 3 blanks and got rid

  6. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Unbiased opinion needed! If you had to own only one City player, then who?

    A. KDB
    B. Sterling

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I really wouldn't want to lose either. Those two + Mane + Vardy really isn't unreasonable.

      If I really had to lose one, it'd be KDB

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Auba is cheaper than Sterling, has better fixtures and even more points atm imo. Cannot sacrifice him now instead of Sterling.

    2. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A

    3. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      KDB better value. I think he will be freed up a bit more once Rodri comes back as he is helping cover Gundo in defence a bit at the moment. He can still deliver nice returns in the meantime.

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

      Sterling. But I've got an awful lot of team value tied up in KDB so loathe to sell him.

      It's getting a bit ridiculous, I was contemplating benching KDB this weekend as I've got nagging doubts about benching any of my back 5

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

        I’m leaning that way too

    5. Homer21
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I'd hold KDB

    6. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I'd find a way to keep both.

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

      Rather have KDB, set and forget, how often would you captain Sterling over the next 6-8 weeks?

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

      I went for A

      1. clodhopper
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Keep kdb

  7. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts about Lacazette from gw13 onwards?

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

      As it stands I'm happily going to go an entire season without any Arsenal players.

      (And possibly man utd, Everton, Watford to name but a few)

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Those Arsenal fixtures between 13-16 just looks so temptibg

    2. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe, monitor the next few games. Emery's propensity to sub him early is annoying.

      I'm an Auba owner and plan to keep until at least after the Norwich game but would like to see their midfield form improve as they're just not creating enough chances for the strikers at the moment. If they don't I'll ditch.

    3. andres

      too expensive for me

  8. Roy Rovers
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Already done Salah Kun > Mane Jimmy

    Cantwell or McGinn > Tielemans??

    Pope
    VVD Tomori Lundstram
    Mane KDB Mount McGinn
    Jiménez Vardy Tammy

    Button Rico Mings Cantwell

    1. andres

      mc ginn

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years

        Would prevent bench headache!!

    2. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      For a hit, nah.

      If you can afford to do Cantwell to him I'd use the money to upgrade VVD to TAA instead after City match. Besides McGinn is good and fixtures get better soon.

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah after City VVD to TAA and Mings to Robbo.

  9. andres

    Bottomed with such a good post!

    Sell one:

    A Sterling

    Buy one:

    C Tielamans
    D Madds

    1. andres

      A, D

    4. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      AD... But make sure you got a plan to bring Sterling back in at some point...

      Wouldnt make the transfer if you are not uograding someone else with the Cash this round as well though

      1. andres
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I might consider a hit depending on how I am feeling later in the week.

        would consider pulisic (for cantwell in a 3-5-2) or Jimenez in a 3-4-3 (as is)

    5. Baps hunter

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Tielemans is cheaper, so if money and future plans demand cash, he is an option imo.

      A&D

  10. lordkippe
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Which combo :

    A : Wilson & Mendy
    B : Jimenez & Robertson
    C : Vardy & Rico
    D : Rashford & Maguire

    1. andres

      c

    2. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      C if you have options to rotate Rico. Maybe B otherwise. Definitely not A or D.

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      B imo if you need to play the included defender often

    B) Mane, KDB, McGinn, Connolly (play a variety of formations)
    C) Salah, KDB, McGinn, Connolly
    D) Salah, Sterling, Dendoncker, Connolly (play 4-4-2and 3-4-3)

        Thanks - that’s the one I have exact money for which means I’d have to pull the trigger tonight.

        Guess I could always get Tielmans over Maddison and then money not an issue

        No salah and Sterling scares me

          No Salah only would, not the latter.

      A will be the same team that I have for GW13 apart from Maddison instead of Martial.

        Is that good or bad?! 😉

        I just hate the fact that if Salah and Sterling go it’s very hard to get them back

          lol, undoubtedly bad although you can probably pick captains. I lost Salah on WC a few weeks back and have been fine since, plan was to bring him back but Mane is looking the better option, that ankle injury is worrying.

    Questions for fantasy CL (domestic version):

    A) Abraham or Origi?
    B) Captain Mbappe or Lewa?
    C) Do you reckon J. Gomez will start?

    Who to get for long term first?

    1. Grealish
    2. Trossard

    1. TheDragon
      • 5 Years

      Grealish when the fixtures turn in a few weeks

      Trossard would be golden if he was nailed to start each week

      Grealish

    People seem to prefer Madds over Tielemans.. is that because of last gameweek?

    Surely Tielamans is more explosive, he is more of an offensive players in a meaning that he gets into those dangerous positions and can score more. Am I missing something?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Tiele does play firther up i feel, there'll be games where he hauls and Madds doesn't, just like the whole Salah/Mane situation. I'd still prefer Tiele though, always looks further advanced.

      Maddison set pieces?

      1. andres
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        yeah so that will pay off every now and then but once Tielemans is on the scoresheet he will get all the baps

          what about Perez then?

    I'm hemoraging team value by sitting patiently the past couple of weeks. Thing is I can't quite decide which route to take.

    A. Otamendi > Robertson (TAA + Robbo double up)
    B. Otamendi > Janmaat (would enable Pukki > Firmino or Martial > KdB)
    C. Pukki > 8.4m

    Would quite like Pukki home to Watford, then get rid. So it comes down to whether I should double up on the Liverpool defence or not?

      This week maybe not best week for Pool double defence, I have had it from the start & still not paid off.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Exactly, but prices are moving so quick. I'd rather bring him in now and bench him for Lundstram than sit on my hands and suffer more Otamendi price drops.

        Will wait until after Liverpool have played Genk, though.

          City to Liv is totally justifiable. Robbo TAA Firmino of the bits posted above (although I have Robbo Mane and Firmino, no room for TAA) ...

    Planning a route from CHO-Kun-Boly and price rises will affect some options...
    Best trio?
    A. Robbo - Lei mid/Martial - *Jimenez/Lacazette
    B. Willems/Saiss - Lei mid/Martial - Aubameyang/Firmino
    C. Janmaat - Salah - Jimenez

    Place yer preferences (with all the detail you can).
    *A has cash leftover with Jimi as does B with Bobby.

    Mad to consider switching out Söyüncü to get Maddison as 3rd Leicester attacker instead??? Have Vardy Soyuncu and Tielemans currently!!

    1. WWF

      Soy to Pereira for me I think

    I think teams figured Pep out. He cannot play 2-0-8 anymore with his lyncpin in defence missing = Laporte.

    Pep tried it with Ota and the plan failed.

    He has no option but to play Fernandinho now.

    KDB now the water carrier.

    Come on Pool, bring out the cheese grater!

    Can't decide on the defence...

    (3-4-3)
    Ryan / (Button)
    TAA, Tomori, Lund (Rico, Söyüncü)
    Mane, KDB, Tielemans, Mount
    Aguero, Vardy, Abraham(c)
