Abraham leads Chelsea line as Jorginho drops to bench for West Brom trip

Tammy Abraham (£7.3m) has been tasked with leading the Chelsea line for their Gameweek 3 trip to West Bromwich Albion.

After impressing midweek, the former Swansea City loanee makes his first Premier League start of the season in what looks to be a 4-2-3-1 formation named by Frank Lampard.

That suggests a slightly wider role for Timo Werner (£9.5m), who is capable of operating as a left-winger, while Kai Havertz (£8.4m) gets his first chance to play number 10 in a league match since arriving from Bayer Leverkusen.

Meanwhile, Abraham coming into the team has forced Jorginho (£5.1m) to the bench, which should make for interesting viewing if Chelsea win any penalties this afternoon, as the Italian has taken two since the start of the season.

In defence, Reece James (£5.1m) continues to silence the naysayers worried about rotation, as he starts ahead of Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.9m) for the third match in a row.

His Fantasy credentials are boosted by a Premier League debut for Thiago Silva (£5.5m), although Willy Caballero (£4.9m) makes one last start in goal as Edouard Mendy‘s (£5.0m) came too soon for involvement in Gameweek 3.

Matheus Pereira (£6.0m) remains the only asset of slight Fantasy worth in the West Bromwich Albion side.

The mid-priced midfielder is the most popular among Baggies starters but is only owned by 2.5% ahead of a testing meeting with Chelsea.

West Bromwich Albion XI (5-4-1): Johnstone; C Townsend, O’Shea, Bartley, Ajayi, Furlong; Diangana, Sawyers, Livermore, M Pereira; C Robinson.

Chelsea XI (4-2-3-1): Caballero; Alonso, T Silva, Christensen, R James; Kanté, Kovačić; Werner, Havertz, Mount; Abraham.

    Spot on Roy. Scandalous that this hand ball rule was ever approved. No fault of the ref, or VAR, fault lies with the rule-setters.

    Is Dunne (BUR) just a one week punt or expected to play more games?

      Mee and Tarkowski decide.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Tark could even play tonight.

      He’ll be Dunne soon.

        Cool. Just wondering as he seems close to rising to 4.1

          Price juggernaut is out of control at the mo - more so this year. It'll calm down and go in different directions. It's difficult if you're being priced out of your potential A team though. Make a choice and go for it. Points are more valuable than TV, but TV can be a driver for points. There's a lot of value out there, choose wisely

    Key point with DCL is that he's getting the chances to sustain good attacking form. 5 big chances, 12 goal attempts, all inside the box. Nearly all of those came in the last two games as well rather than being spread across all three.

    Which serious team is giving the armband to a player that plays for the 1st time

    1. Rainer
