Werner survives rotation fears to start on Chelsea’s left against Sheff Utd

Timo Werner (£9.4m) starts on the left-hand side of Chelsea’s front-three as Sheffield United come to Stamford Bridge in Gameweek 8.

Frank Lampard caused some concern among Fantasy Premier League managers on Friday as he highlighted a need to manage the German international’s minutes.

However, the enforced absences of Christian Pulisic (£8.3m) and Kai Havertz (£8.3m) has left the Chelsea manager with no choice but to select Werner in the starting XI.

The fact that he sits to the left of Tammy Abraham (£7.2m) is also encouraging for his 23.4% ownership, considering the fact that Sheffield United have conceded more chances on their right-hand side than any other this season.

That should also benefit Ben Chilwell (£5.9m) in defence, while Kurt Zouma (£5.3m), who has three league goals in 2020/21, will be eyeing up the fact that the Blades have also given up the most headed attempts of any side this year too.

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): E Mendy; Chilwell, Zouma, T Silva, R James; Mount, Kanté, Kovacic; Werner, Abraham, Ziyech.

Sheffield Utd XI (3-5-2): Ramsdale; Stevens, Egan, Basham; Lowe, Lundstram, Norwood, Berge, Baldock; Brewster, McGoldrick.

    Ziyech is the Hames for Chelsea

    Ramsdale the Kepa for Sheffield

    1. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Ramsdale is so poor - the corner was his fault as well, just catch the cross

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I always thought Ramsdale was over-rated, never understood the hype with him. Some people even said he should play for England.
        It was hard to judge his level when playing for Bournemouth as they are so atrocious at the back

  23. Ser Davos

    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ramsdale will need to be rested. Brewster looks half baked, plus Fleck and particularly O'Connell are unsustainable losses

  24. Kodap

    Lucky goal for Chillers there haha

  25. Dexters Laboratory
