Why Werner blanked at West Brom and whether to hold or sell him for FPL Gameweek 4

West Brom 3-3 Chelsea

  • Goals: Callum Robinson x2 (£5.5m), Kyle Bartley (£4.5m) | Mason Mount (£6.9m), Callum Hudson-Odoi (£5.8m), Tammy Abraham (£7.3m)
  • Assists: Matheus Pereira (£6.0m), Darnell Furlong (£4.5m) | Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.9m), Kai Havertz (£8.4m), Mount
  • Bonus points: C Robinson x3, Mount x2, Reece James x1 (£5.1m)

Timo Werner (£9.4m) remains goalless in the Premier League after Chelsea’s trip to West Bromwich Albion did not go according to plan.

The German international had been understandably turned to by 800,000+ Fantasy Premier League managers for the Gameweek 3 captaincy only to be rewarded with nothing more than a two-point score.

As some start to lose patience in Werner, it serves to analyse what went wrong for him on Saturday evening as there were, admittedly, some mitigating circumstances behind his first blank of the campaign.

Tammy Abraham’s (£7.3m) impressive EFL Cup performance midweek was enough to convince Frank Lampard to hand the centre-forward role to him at the Hawthorns, which shifted Werner onto the left-hand side of a 4-2-3-1.

That left him with less time in the penalty box than his 35% ownership would have liked, but Chelsea’s abysmal start to the game in defence did not help him either.

The Blues gifted three goals to West Bromwich Albion inside the first 27 minutes which eased any pressure on the hosts considerably. Each time Chelsea conceded, the Baggies sat deeper and deeper inside their five-man defence and bank of four midfielders, making life much harder for any visiting attacker to find some space.

That said, there was one moment in the first half that Werner and his owners will view with regret. In the 14th minute, Mason Mount (£6.9m) finally managed to find some space around the back of left-back Conor Townsend (£4.5m), squaring to Werner, who crashed his short-range shot against Sam Johnstone‘s (£4.5m) crossbar.

Chelsea’s issues in other areas of the team then counted against Werner in the second half as Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.9m) replaced Marcos Alonso (£6.0m) and winger Callum Hudson-Odoi (£5.8m) came on for Mateo Kovačić (£5.5m).

With Hudson-Odoi on the pitch, who prefers to operate on the left-flank of attacking midfield as an inside forward, Lampard catered that with his formation tweak, shifting Werner onto the right-hand side.

“Callum (Hudson-Odoi) gave me everything I asked and wanted from him in terms of his ability to go one-on-one, trying to take people on. He got his goal. That’s what Callum needs to do. That’s the sort of impact he can have for us and it has to be consistent. He gave himself a great platform now to continue in that vain. He’ll be very important for us if he does.” – Frank Lampard

And when Olivier Giroud (£6.9m) took to the field in the place of Thiago Silva (£5.5m), enabling Lampard to pair the Frenchman with Abraham up-front in a 3-5-2, Werner was even further away from the danger areas.

During the final 15 minutes of the game, the only opportunity Chelsea’s number 11 had was when he emerged unmarked at the back post following a corner, only to see his powerful shot blocked by Kyle Bartley (£4.5m).

Would Chelsea have had to make these slew of changes to their side had they not gone 3-0 down in the opening half-an-hour? Almost certainly not. Would Werner have been better suited to this game had West Bromwich Albion not retreated into a deep block after a perfect start to the game? Almost certainly.

Perhaps that is the question his owners should consider ahead of the visit of Crystal Palace to Stamford Bridge in Gameweek 4. And even if Werner is deployed on the left-hand side of Chelsea’s attack again for that match, the Eagles’ have struggled to defend that area of the pitch in recent months. As Jan Sienkiewicz reminded us in a recent Captain Sensible article, the following left-sided players registered at least one attacking return facing them during Project Restart:

  • Sadio Mané (£11.9m) – goal
  • Harvey Barnes (£7.0m) – two assists
  • Christian Pulisic (£8.3m) – goal
  • Daniel Podence (£5.6m) – goal
  • Marcus Rashford (£9.5m) – goal and assist

Furthermore, the fitness of Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech (£7.9m) remain in the equation for Werner’s Fantasy appeal. The penetrative runs offered by the American, and Ziyech’s exceptionally creative abilities would have been the perfect tools to break down West Bromwich Albion’s deep block on Saturday, and could be important when facing Palace in Gameweek 4 – something to keep an eye on in Lampard’s upcoming press conferences.

Meanwhile, owners of Kai Havertz (£8.4m) are likely at a crossroads following his contribution to this game. Like Werner, the disastrous start to the game for Chelsea did take its toll, but a chance to operate as a number 10 produced the German’s best performance in a Premier League game so far.

Admittedly, he was making that improvement from a low base, but there were still encouraging signs. The question is: has it come soon enough for his 8.8% ownership to retain their faith for one more week.

In the 10th minute, Havertz picked the ball up on the right-hand edge of the penalty box and unleashed a powerful curling effort. Johnstone could not hold onto it, forced to punch it clear.

Then in the closing stages, the former Bayer Leverkusen man found some space in a central area of the penalty box, but his deflected shot went out for a corner.

And it was his link-up with Hudson-Odoi that got Chelsea closer to their hard-earned point in the 70th minute. That assist was his first attacking return of the season, making four a five-point score. Considering the interest in Blues assets this week, that is certainly less than was probably expected by his owners.

Chelsea’s ongoing defensive issues did not help Reece James‘ (£5.1m) Fantasy appeal, who has now blanked in two of his three Premier League outings this season.

Just as was the case against Brighton in Gameweek 1, the Blues were weakest in the full-back areas, and West Bromwich Albion were ruthless in capitalising on that at the Hawthorns.

In the fourth minute, a poor defensive header from Alonso landed at the feet of Matheus Pereira (£6.0m), who slid his pass across to Callum Robinson (£5.5m), who had escaped from James’ notice. He fired an effort across Willy Caballero (£4.9m) into the bottom corner, securing a third attacking return in as many matches for Pereira.

“I didn’t blame the players, I stated the facts on the clear mistakes that led to the goals. It is always going to be difficult in a game like this. It is not a tactical moment, it is a turnover in possession which we spoke about before.” – Frank Lampard

It may also be a little while until Silva adds much-needed stability to Chelsea’s backline as he slipped and gifted possession to Robinson for the third goal. It was Alonso who lost Bartley for the third goal, although it was poor awareness from James that played the West Bromwich Albion defender onside.

“Thiago Silva is going to be fantastic for us. He has been incredible in his career and absolutely, I will not look at him. I can talk about the mistakes, they are clear and I am open and honest about that. We are a team but we have to react around that and, to be fair, the team did in the second half. But, there is nothing on Thiago, I am sure he will stand up and say it was a mistake. But other than that, I thought he was pretty faultless in the game.” – Frank Lampard

Chelsea were much more secure with Azpilicueta coming on at left-back and they should have Edouard Mendy (£5.0m) in goal by the time they face Crystal Palace. Chelsea traditionally more porous in away games, having conceded 42 goals in 21 road trips since the start of last season, more than any other Premier League side since the start of last season. Although the Eagles might not be the best side to face at home right now, as Roy Hodgson’s men have recently developed a propensity for frustrating top-six sides on their own turf.

Meanwhile, the quality of James’ attacking contributions were not quite up to his usual standard at the Hawthorns.

His best pass arrived at the foot of Abraham in the 11th minute, which the striker skied horribly, but aside from that, James’ delivery was all about quantity and not quality. While he fired in a slew of crosses into the box all night, against a three-man defence, he struggled to find his team-mates too often.

Furthermore, James’ delivery from corners was also rather substandard, Chelsea offering much more in that department once Mount took over responsibility for them. As has been mentioned before, James is likely to lose corners and indirect free-kicks from his locker as soon as Ziyech returns to fitness anyway.

West Bromwich Albion XI (5-4-1): Johnstone; C Townsend, O’Shea, Bartley, Ajayi, Furlong; Diangana (M Phillips 74′), Sawyers, Livermore, M Pereira (Field 90+1′); C Robinson (Robson-Kanu 66′).

Chelsea XI (4-2-3-1): Caballero; Alonso (Azpilicueta 46′), T Silva (Giroud 73′), Christensen, R James; Kovačić (Hudson-Odoi 46′), Kanté; Werner, Havertz, Mount; Abraham.

    FFS how has Soucek not scored in those first three, this game is all luck

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      And taking his second drop on the chin tonight

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Hasn't dropped once

    2. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A west Ham defensive midfielder not scoring is not unlucky

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        You clearly don't watch any football, not a DM

        1. Tcheco
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Having him in your team is akin to having a big centre back going up for headers on set pieces

          1. Tcheco
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            He has been threatening occasionally but still plays for a bad team & will not score many. Do you seriously expect him to be prolific?

    3. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Been very unlucky. Certainly worth keeping as looks like he will get more returns.

    4. Royal5

    Cant't believe I got 0 points from my triple wolves: Saiss-Jimmy-Podence 🙁

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years

      Less listening on here and more going with your gut

      1. Wılly
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Nobody would have guessed we'd be beaten 4-0

  6. Wılly
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Why are Mitrovic and Wilson being sold! 2 cheapies who have scored 2 in 2/3 games. Solid picks.

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bamford

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

      And penalty takers but better options in their positions

  7. F4L
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    What concerned me about City today wasn't the result, or how they played, it was Pep. His starting set up made little sense, using Sterling as a striker, with Foden playing LW, instead of using an actual false 9.

    Then he subs Delap on for Fernie, but instead of shifting to the set up that got them 2 league titles, with Mahrez/Sterling wing and Foden playing the D.Silva role, he shifts to a never used 4-4-2. Made no sense.

    Then they go 3-1 down, he shifts back to the 4-3-3, look like getting back in the game, and he subs Torres on in Foden's place to move back to the failing 4-4-2. Dominated for the rest of the game and you know the rest.

    I think Pep is a little lost at this point, and that worries me most as a City triple owner, not the performance.

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      His tactic is outdated imo and selection not good.
      When i see Sterling as striker i know they will struggle,guy cant hold up the ball 1 second...cant even control it.

      think he should play Delap from start now

      Sterling - Delap - Mahrez
      --------Foden - KDB-------

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        yep, Sterling just isn't a striker. Can't hold the ball up and is poor with his back to goal.

        Funny thing is Pep has used KDB/Foden as false 9s before, so I have no idea why he didn't do that today.

        I think your line up is likely next week, unless Gundogan comes back into the picture.

  8. BenDavies
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    When I eventually wildcard, almost certain it'll be
    Salah KDB Fernandes Klich Zaha
    Mitro Vardy Maupay

    This game is now Fantasy Penalty League

    1. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      is pereira on pens?

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Could be, takes the other set pieces. Last season it was Austin or Hal Robson-Kanu but don’t think they’re getting much gametime so could well be him

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Probably rules will be tweaked in the next few weeks with the number of complaints. Some very soft penalties being awarded.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        They can’t do that whilst the season is underway

        1. pablo discobar
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Referee's can choose not to call them. That's the work around

          1. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Ah right yeah ok. Thought he meant for reducing points awarded for penalty goals lol

            1. GreennRed
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              More chance of VAR clemency than FPL clemency!

        2. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          They can direct referees on the interpretation of the rules.

          1. pablo discobar
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            yeah

  9. FF Dirtbag
    • 12 Years

    Done Son to Barnes already for my FT.
    I did a -8 last GW but should i;

    A) keep Werner
    B) Werner - > Ings or Vardy for - 4?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years

      A

    2. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm interested in Barnes, lack of set peices worries me though. Why did you go for it?

      1. pablo discobar
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        and B

        1. FF Dirtbag
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Oh B really? Who for?

          Barnes has constantly looked dangerous, passes the eye test for me. Looks like he will score a few.

          1. FF Dirtbag
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Plus. Favourable fixtures.

  10. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    best guess as for how long son will be out?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Month

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Hamstring tears can really vary in length. Unless I've missed something, you'll just have to wait and see.

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      depends on the extend of the injury 3/4 weeks for a hammy, bigger damage longer time

    4. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      International break after next week?

      C maybe with recent form.

      chances are you have jimi/wolves def so spread the risk

    4. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      thanks all

  12. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Wolves number 27 what an absolute mare you had, oh it is bloody you isn't it Saiss. He was all over the place, no spatial awareness and no idea where he was ment to be, always losing his man. Every single goal was his fault!!

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      So bizarre considering how good he was against Sheffield.

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Doesn't help that he plays next to Vinagre who can't defend for love or money.

      Honestly the Marcal injury has really hurt Wolves as well, Saiss looked great against Sheff United when he had the confidence to push up as Marcal covered him. He hasn't had that cover for the last 2 games.

    3. Wılly
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He needs to go back in midfield or the bench

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Will he get dropped?

        1. Wılly
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I doubt it, a very small chance we play Semedo LWB and Hoever RWB if Marcal comes back to play LCB. However, this is highly unlikely. Dendoncker can also play in that position as well but is more suited as a box to box midfielder.

  13. Captain Hindsight
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any Leeds fans on who can tell me whether I should go for Klich or Costa?

    1. Wılly
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Klich but not a Leeds fan

  14. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Soucek gets his first return and looks as dangerous as hell and now looks like he will finally drop

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nice can get him 0.1 cheaper

    2. FF Dirtbag
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Absolutely insane that he drops. I see more returns for him, if I was on wc would keep him out then get him back in.

  15. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    0.2m short of Son,Podence > Mahrez,Havertz.

    1. The Big Larsbowski
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Podence will probably play fulham next. Not worth a hit.

  16. MGMT

    Son —> Havertz for -4 worth it?

    Martinez (Steer)
    Trent - Saiss - Taylor (Lamptey & Dallas)
    Salah - KDB - Foden - Podence (Burke)
    Ings - Jimmy - DCL

    Foden > Greenwood for -4? Or hold for another week.

    Son/Brewster -> Ings/Klich worth a hit? Have Jimmy/DCL already?

      Seems decent, the way this game I’d going just fill up on pen takers?
      Game will die a death due to lack judgement & just who gets the pen?

      1. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah may as well mate. I shpukd have just chosen some pen takers then clicked auto select for the rest.

    Best 5.5 mid option? Ceballos a good option after Liverpool?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Diangana

    2. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ceb is never a good options

      Not much for that price, probably leeds MF tbh but may have risen

    24 points with TAA, Robbo, Salah and Mitro to play. I feel grateful for this considering some of the horror scores I've seen.

    I started watching the NFL in 2006 as it was something to enjoy on a Sunday night and an escape from the back-to-school-tomorrow-might-throw-myself-of-the-roof feeling. Fourteen years on and as a Jets fan I feel like I played myself.

      I had no interest bar the odd Superbowl. Lived in Albuquerque in 2011 and 2012 and loved watching NFL and College games. The analysis, the tactics and the razzmatazz were great. Came back to Ireland and barely watch it again though the BBC show with Chappers is good. A proper team sport.

      1. Clintymints
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        What were you up to in Albuquerque if I may ask

        1. Wılly
          • 10 Years

          Breaking Bad

        2. GreennRed
          • 12 Years

          Work. Equipment Tech.

        3. Clintymints
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Oh very nice interesting place to go to, I reckon quite exotic for an irish man

          Also thinking breaking bad too 😆

  25. Totti
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    will son drop tonight?

    or can wait till tomorrow as now i'm frustrated from the game and can't think who to get instead!

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What did you buy him for? If 9.0 you need not worry either way

      1. Totti
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        8.9

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          He’s -65.5 on fplstats, no chance he drops tonight but could tomorrow night

          1. Totti
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            yesterday werner dropped at -50
            this means that fplstatistics is not accurate

    Thoughts on this WC?
    Martinez (Steer)
    TAA Castagne Saiss (KWP, Ferguson)
    Salah KDB Fernandes Klich (Burke)
    DCL Maupay Mitrovic
    0.4 itb
    Biggest worry is lack of funds up top.
    Cheers!

      Can you wait for IB?

      1. FPL_Devil
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah probably will

    2. Anneheim
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Downgrade Castagne and Saise to two lamptey/Ayling. Downgrade klich to soucek and upgrade maupay to ings.

      1. FPL_Devil
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Good ideas but personally I like a more expensive back line and think this team is more balanced. Cheers!

    Is Maddison being eased back from injury or is he just benched ?

    Expected to start next game ?

    1. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Probably eased back

      probably

      I've no source to back this up apart from slowly getting mins the last few games

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Unlikely but never know

      Didn't Werner drop at 50-something a few days ago?

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
