Abraham, Pulisic and James among the substitutes as Chelsea face unchanged Villa

The second of Aston Villa’s two Double Gameweek 30+ fixtures kicks off at 16:15 BST, with Chelsea the visitors to the Midlands.

The Villans are unchanged from the side that drew 0-0 with Sheffield United in midweek, meaning that the ‘out of position’ and misclassified Fantasy Premier League midfielder Keinan Davis (£4.3m) once again leads the line for the hosts.

Jack Grealish (£6.4m), the most-bought FPL asset of the current Gameweek, is deployed on the left flank once more.

Frank Lampard has made four changes from the last starting XI he named in the Premier League, although that of course was way back in March.

Andreas Christensen (£4.8m), N’Golo Kante (£5.0m) and Mateo Kovacic (£5.3m) are recalled, while the fit-again Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£6.3m) makes his first appearance of the season.

Kurt Zouma (£4.7m), Billy Gilmour (£4.5m), Ross Barkley (£5.7m) and Pedro (£6.8m) drop out.

With Reece James (£5.1m) only among the substitutes, Marcos Alonso (£6.2m) gets his fourth straight league start – the premium FPL defender hasn’t blanked in any of his starts this season.

Tammy Abraham (£7.5m) and Christian Pulisic (£6.9m) also have to be content with places on the bench, as Oliver Giroud (£6.6m) and the soon-to-be out-of-contract Willian (£7.0m) retain their places in Lampard’s side.

Aston Villa XI: Nyland; Konsa Ngoyo, Mings, Hause, Targett; Hourihane, Douglas Luiz, McGinn; El Ghazi, Davis, Grealish.

Chelsea XI: Arrizabalaga; Azpilicueta, Rüdiger, Christensen, Alonso; Loftus-Cheek, Kanté, Kovacic; Willian, Giroud, Mount.

      Particularly if you add the 13 from Hendo in. There is a reason why we’re all over 100 points already so I’d say it’s worked. Still expecting the biggest scores from City of course which is the best ‘boost’

      You’d captain Bruno ahead of rashford (as we think rash is next on pens and obviously a forward)? Also tempted by son, Jimi and Vardy myself. Think mane will play next one (if they still don’t have title by then) so he’s obvious candidate still surely.

    I've got 14.2m to spend on two forwards or a forward and a mid, suggestion ? I already have Jimenez and Bruno.

    Is anyone switching their plans from WC to FH now? If so why?

    Henderson, Leno, Egan, Nketiah, Grealish, Lundy

    I am sticking with WC as I don't watch this BB team in 2 weeks.

      Got those 6, but no wc! Having said that, in a couple of weeks time you'll know a bit more about teams/rotation. I'd hold. Bench Henderson, lund, egan, nketiah. 1ft Leno to someone?
