Willian and Pulisic make case for Chelsea double-up with Norwich on horizon

Crystal Palace 2-3 Chelsea

  • Goals: Wilfried Zaha (£6.6m), Christian Benteke (£5.7m) | Olivier Giroud (£6.6m), Christian Pulisic (£7.2m), Tammy Abraham (£7.4m)
  • Assists: Patrick van Aanholt (£5.6m) | Willian x2 (£7.2m), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.9m)
  • Bonus Points: Willian x3, Pulisic x2, van Aanholt x1

Willian (£7.2m) and Christian Pulisic (£7.2m) underlined their Fantasy credentials once again as Chelsea beat Crystal Palace 3-2 on Tuesday evening.

The two midfielders were at the heart of the transfer debate for Gameweek 34+ with managers trying to discern between the pair. Well, once again, the comparisons mattered little in the end as both players rewarded their respective owners at Selhurst Park.

In fact, considering Chelsea host Norwich’s porous defence in Gameweek 36+, the case for owning both Willian and Pulisic gets stronger with each match. After all, Frank Lampard’s men have now hit two or more goals in every match since the Premier League restart.

Both players have also delivered attacking returns simultaneously in each of the last four Gameweeks and neither one looks like letting up.

As per usual, it was Willian who ended up with the most points on the night, his two assists and three bonus making for a third double-figure haul since Gameweek 31+. 

His owners will also feel as if they could have come away with more at Selhurst Park, increasing his appeal for the coming matches.

In the 31st minute, Pulisic pressed through the middle of Palace’s defence, spotting Willian catching up with play from the left. The American laid it off to his Brazilian colleague who breezed into the box and forced a decent save from Vicente Guaita (£4.9m).

Then, as the game was hurtling towards a frenetic conclusion, Willian darted inside from his station on the right-wing and squared it to Mason Mount (£6.1m), Guaita denying the Brazilian an assist as he tipped the Englishman’s curled effort around the post.

In the 89th minute, Pulisic made another trademark run down the left-hand side, his lofted cross caught on the volley by Willian but blocked by Patrick van Aanholt (£5.6m).

In the last four matches, he has averaged 11 points per game and, as we have covered here, is capable of pulling in Fantasy points from several different avenues. The Brazilian has penalties, direct free-kicks and set-pieces but also offers plenty of creativity and goal threat from open play as evidenced in the win at Palace. Enough to already form a strong case for the Gameweek 36+ captaincy when Norwich come to Stamford Bridge…

But we should not overlook Pulisic who also enjoyed an impressive outing in south London, also unlucky not to get more attacking returns for his 9.9% ownership.

There was a suggestion that the American got a touch on Olivier Giroud‘s (£6.6m) first-half goal, although replays were inconclusive on that front.

After he finally netted the goal he’d been trying to score for several games in a row (running down the left-hand side and blasted high at the near-post), Pulisic might have got an assist for Willian had his late shot not been blocked by van Aanholt.

“Willian and Christian (Pulisic) have been excellent for us. I am really pleased with what they have done. I knew the talent that Christian has. It’s a physical lead and he has come in and been great for us. The quality for us and the end product is great.” – Frank Lampard

While Chelsea were impressive going forward, Fantasy managers should certainly be aware of the fact that Crystal Palace are fast becoming a much more porous side than many would expect.

They actually came into Gameweek 34+ having conceded more shots in the box than any other side in the previous four, which is why they have now let in at least three goals on three occasions since Gameweek 31+. 

Their defensive outlook is arguably even bleaker following a hamstring problem for Gary Cahill (£4.4m) which incapacitated him for Chelsea’s opener and could leave Palace depleted at the back for the coming schedule. That is certainly worth knowing for anyone with Manchester United and Wolves assets for Gameweeks 36+ and 37+ respectively.

However, for all Chelsea’s impressive play going forward, their own defence is becoming increasingly difficult to trust. At Selhurst Park, they were not always in complete control of the game allowing a side typically goal-shy on their own patch to look dangerous throughout and score twice.

“I wasn’t overly delighted with the midfield but I thought that Billy (Gilmour) did okay today. It doesn’t mean anything about his future. I know that he has more to give to us in the future.” – Frank Lampard

One of the usual culprits, Kepa Arrizabalaga (£5.4m) was very much at fault for Crystal Palace’s opening goal as his poor season continues to underwhelm.

It was admittedly an incredible goal from distance scored by Wilfried Zaha (£6.6m) but the goalkeeper reacted too late and was unable to get a hand to the effort, even though it flew in the middle of the goal.

Then, for Palace’s second goal, van Aanholt was allowed to drive forward to the dead-ball line too easily by a static Andreas Christensen (£4.8m), allowing him to square for an unmarked Christian Benteke (£5.7m) to tap in. That was the Belgian’s first Premier League goal in 24 appearances at Selhurst Park, the last one coming all the way back in April 2018.

And, to be perfectly honest, Crystal Palace really should have scored a third in stoppage time, Chelsea very fortunate to leave Selhurst Park with three points.

In the 94th minute, Zaha played an excellent cross to the back-post from his wide-left station, which Scott Dann (£4.3m) headed back across goal. His effort, which appeared destined for the back of the net, struck the post and sailed away from the goal-line past Benteke and Max Meyer (£5.2m) before van Aanholt had an effort blocked.

And almost immediately after, Benteke found himself one-on-one with Kepa before Zouma flew out of nowhere to make a thumping last-ditch tackle.

Part of the issue for Chelsea’s defence has to be the lack of a settled back-four, Kurt Zouma (£4.7m) who, admittedly, had a better game than most in his department, making back-to-back starts for the first time in 2020 at Selhurst Park.

Such a questionable display at the back may not mean much for Fantasy managers with Sheffield United and Norwich up next for Chelsea, but it could bode well for Liverpool assets in Gameweek 37+, as well as Wolves options on the final day of the campaign.

“In the last few minutes, maybe (we lost control). We should have killed the game off. Some slight wrong decisions. Kepa makes a great save, Kurt (Zouma) a great tackle. He (Zouma) was excellent. His tackle was point saving at the end and I’m delighted with him.” – Frank Lampard

Crystal Palace XI (4-5-1): Guaita; van Aanholt, Dann, Cahill (Sakho 8′), J Ward; Ayew (Townsend 80′), McArthur (McCarthy 80′), Kouyaté, Milivojević (Meyer 89′), Zaha; Benteke.

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): Kepa; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Christensen, R James; Gilmour (Gilmour 80′), Barkley (Loftus-Cheek 65′), Mount; Pulisic, Giroud (Abraham 65′), Willian.

    Advice needed ,I'm chasing a small lead:

    Patricio

    TAA Doherty Aurier

    Salah KDB Bruno ASM

    Rashford Jimmy Greenwood

    Bench: Martinez, Saka, Fernandez, Simpson.

    only TC left and MIB 0.6

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      TC someone they don't have on a week you fancy them. E.g. Salah next week

      1. Peter Russo
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Im thinking that but worried about Klopp rotation. He doesnt have Salah so its a good differential.

        1. Rover
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          If Salah is benched this GW then e becomes a good shout for next week. If Mane is benched then I would swap Salah to a City mid and then TC him.

          1. Drexl Spivey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Burnley are quite stubborn.

          2. Peter Russo
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            My thinking was that because Salah didn't play the derby he'd be played this GW and rested vs Burnley but I could be wrong but Mane has played more consecutive minutes so is due a rest.

    2. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years

      ASM->Antonio/Bowen

      1. Peter Russo
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Do you know if ASM is fit? he looked good and against poor watford defence he might haul.

      Why are you in this situation

    5. Kuzser

      Sarr

  5. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    If Mahrez starts today:

    Mahrez>Foden, DCL>Vardy(c) for -4 is good moves, n’est-ce pas?

    1. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not if Foden also starts today?

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        In that case Foden would be first on bench

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      similar dilemma> but mahrez to willian seems nailed and stable scorer

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Can’t quite afford Mahrez>William/Pulisic.....annoyingly

  6. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    FH in 36 or 38?
    Triple city and triple Chelsea could be great

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      36 but could be tough pre-empting which three City attackers start

    2. n14mul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      38 for me....city vs norwich...dilva last game and foden for sure

    3. HTL
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It's the big question. Well that, and whether it's safe to go without Chelsea.

    4. Rover
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      The question is whether you expect FA Cup related rotation to have en effect in GW36 or GW37. All team bar Chelsea have only 2 days rest between the league game in GW36 and the cup semi-final so many of the big players you have in your team right now may not start in GW36.

  7. Drexl Spivey
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who would you bung the TC on out of this lot?

    Gw35: Bruno (SOU)
    Gw36: KDB (BOU)
    Gw37: Bruno (WHU)
    Gw38: KDB (NOR)

    Still have Free Hit

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      KDB 38

    3 years, 8 months ago

    After being hampered due to a lack of 3rd utd attacker, i finally have the opportunity to get Martial (alongside bruno/rash). Should i stick with my plan or look at vardy as the new flavour.

    Who would you rather have for next few gw's

    A: Martial (SOT, cry, WHM)
    B: Vardy (bou, SHU, tot)

    1. linkafu
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Martial

    2. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B if you want to captain vardy on the weekend, otherwise a.

      1. STHH
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Does anyone wonder whether the Vardy stray boot on Mustafi will be looked at again?

  9. balint84
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Henderson, mccarty - what to do with them?
    Buy dubravka or west ham keeper? Save them? Its bb time for me

  10. Pinturicchio10
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Cant wait to ditch Pepe tomorrow. What an absolute disaster he has been. Be gone 😀

      1. n14mul
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        my question is what possessed you to keep for this long?

        1. Pinturicchio10
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Failed (c) punt in 32+. Turned down opportunity to sell for a hit this gw as team was strong. I know, woeful purchase. Gotta have a wild punt every now and then though..

            1. Camzy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              I've bought Pepe twice this season. TWICE. Disaster.

              Meanwhile, Martial is back in my team for a record 5th time this season. Only gotten 1 double digit haul from him somehow in all this period. Hate the guy. He owes me now until the end of the season.

              1. Pinturicchio10
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Haha bought him twice myself! Absolute muppet 😀
                  I've done okay with Martial though got a couple captain hauls of late.

              2. n14mul

                • 6 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                can be wild with so many good midfield options atm. Wild would be foden captain today....keeping hold of pepe is suicidal

                1. Pinturicchio10
                    3 years, 8 months ago

                    He's bench fodder this week which makes it all the more humorous 😀

              • 9 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              sooooo many good midfield options been on fire too

              1. Pinturicchio10
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Yep he's stinking the place up big time.

                  • 4 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Yep if we had 7 or 8 mid spots available this would be the time!

                My end-season pretty much comes down to Mahrez, KDB and Foden today. If they don't start/smash it I'm donezo

                  backing foden for a haul....special kid

                    Stupid me could have gone with Willian and Pulisic on my wild card las week but decided on the City triple up...

                    1. JabariParkersEyelid
                      • 4 Years
                      3 years, 8 months ago

                      Still think Chelsea double up would have been absurdly brave, the 3 you have could be massive tonight.

              4. balint84
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Henderson (che) or Pope (liv) or mccarthy (mu)?

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

                  I'm currently deciding between Pope and McCarthy and currently on Pope. Liverpool not been at their best and it's Pope. Not expecting much from any of those though. Maybe Henderson from the 3

                can someone tell me if it's true that De Bruyne will be rested tonight?

                  • 4 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Don't think worth doing defender moves at this point if you can help it. Aurier has been good for points since the restart too.

                Which option is better? Both for free

                A
                Rashford > Greenwood

                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  B because Greenwood has overperformed stats wise

                Is Vardy(c) pretty much essential for next GW?

                  there arent any majorly obvious captain picks so presume he will be high in the poll,

                  also if bournemouth somehow look good against spurs it may deter some

                Out of Foden and Mahrez (both in my team)...thinking of using their positions to rotate options until FH 38, based on who plays
                Foden plays this GW I think he's benched next game - good time to try Antonio or Pulisic/Willian (if you have the money)
                Then maybe even back to Foden the week after. He seems to play every other game at the moment 🙂
                Ridiculous plan, I know

                  This transfer hokey cokey thing never ever works.

                  Pick someone and be prepared to stick with them. You never know when someone will get injured that might force your hand or get sent off...

                Start Saka v Tot or DCL v Wolves? Made the wrong call with Saka every week so far (expecting DCL to do nothing tomorrow).

                  Saka. DCL away at Wolves. Wolves are one of the best defensive teams in the league.

                Vardy, Ings and Jimenez have been great value strikers this season but all 3 of them have really tormented me all season.

                Haven't had either of them at the right time and have missed pretty much all of their hauls.

                Moved on Vardy before the Palace game as Leicester have looked turd since the restart with key players missing from their team. Of course the minute Vardy departs my team he's banging in the goals again whilst Jimenez is currently in my team blanking every week.

                Interested to hear people's thoughts on which defender to play this weekend?

                (Forget the fact two are slight doubts).

                A) Aurier (ARS h)
                B) Lascelles (WAT a)
                C) Holgate (WOL a)

                1. FOO FIGHTER
                  • 4 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Aurier

                2. JabariParkersEyelid
                  • 4 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Aurier, none look good for clean sheets and he's the most attacking of the 3 by far.

                3. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Lascelles if he's fit

                • 9 Years
                3 years, 8 months ago

                Upside hunting here... for GW's 36 & 37 specifically...

                Mendy (BOU, wat)
                Azpi (NOR, liv)
                Aurier (new, LEI)

                IF not Mendy, who from city ?

                Do not see the fuss about Vardy at this point. Last two fixtures are not easy plus Rodgers has lost the plot as he always does.

                1. Tonyawesome69
                  • 5 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  If Spurs/ Kane smash BOU, you may as well target Vardy against BOU

                2. El Presidente
                  • 4 Years
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  You don't get the fuss about the top striker in the league running for the golden boot scoring 3x last 2 matches and facing BOU next?

                  Ok.

                Just wildcarded and my bench for next week is utterly dire.

                Pope (LIV), Taylor (LIV), Lamptey (MCI), Nketiah

                Now need to rely on Foden playing or I'm getting one of these duds off the bench.

                Dier has been given a four game ban and a 40,000 pound fine for misconduct.

                  • 7 Years

                  for his clash with that fan after the norwich game. Ban with immediate effect so out for the rest of the season, he seemed to be a Mou favorite but now Ald or vert will be back in and that may help make spurs more solid and stable at the back. Could be a blessing in disguise

                    • 9 Years

                    Agree, Toby and Vert are quality defenders.

                2FT’s
                Son -> Martial
                Rashford -> Vardy?

                I want Vardy for Bournemouth game

                  I hope you are well.

                  Just wanted to let you know, I have started you ahead of Jimenez, who I have on the bench this gameweek.

                  Can you please therefore score big points this evening as I am competing with other managers who already have an advantage with Pulisic/Willian in their teams.

                  No pressure.

                  Kind regards

                    Thanks for the support.

                    Sadly I cannot promise anything as Mr Pep puts my name in a big hat along with all the other lads and draws 11 out just before KO.

                    Love Phil.

                    Dear Vazza, Thank you for your kind words. I will of course do all that I can to feed both Kev and Mahzy as many times as I can, and not waste tim passing to Chicken wing Sterling as my bonus pay is affected by that fraud. Pep has told me to stop looking away when I pass or I will put on the naughty step........so heres looking at you kid.

                  how template are your teams ?

                  I was at 85% last week and with Mo captain instead of Bruno I dropped in rank

                  After my transfers this week Im at 60% template with KDB(160% eo) as captain.

                  1. Pinturicchio10
                      3 years, 8 months ago

                      44% last gw jumped to 76% this gw after selling Mane for De Bruyne.

                    • Rover
                      • 7 Years
                      3 years, 8 months ago

                      I'm at 22% with Sterling(c) and no KdB/Salah along with VVD instead of TAA, and that's only going to reduce further when I likely sell Jimenez for Vardy this GW.

                        • 7 Years
                        3 years, 8 months ago

                        i sold jimi and wolves def and that dropped me by 25%

                      • 9 Years

                      74% according to LiveFPL.

                    • 7 Years
                    3 years, 8 months ago

                    I'm dropping like a stone since the restart down to 380k live rank and only a few minileagues I could save respect in.

                    Give me your best punts to make up the ground.

                    Currently have mahrez and unless he delivers tonight I think I will sell. Jimenez and Rashford potentially on the chopping block as well.

                    Antonio and Vardy are really tempting me and would also love a chelsea mid for their norwich fixture.

                    Any other template busters you would recommend?

                      the ones u have mentioned seem the best for the next week in vardy and antonio voth could be decent for the rest of the season as well, one of pulisic and willian seem to be a solid option as well.

                      Other than that just go by fixture and hope u pick the right ones for the right week.

                      I would look at rash to vardy and maybe mahrez to antonio/pulisic for the weekend

                        Thanks for the feedback mate, I've made a number of mistakes since restart, signing, Connolly, Holgate and Mahrez and taking 3 hits already. Only choice is to be aggressive now I think. Still have free hit in the back pocket and hoping that will give me a nice rank boost.
