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 looks great but quite injury prone. He's gonna be a concern over December.

      Absolutely

      Well, now ain't December and I'm enjoying the pts.

      You can't worry about something that may or may not happen.

      Make hay while the sun shines.

      Oh well don't come crying when your injury prone players start dropping like flies in December.

      Translated from Mandalorian:

      "Blimey, this Ziyech is blooming good. And I don't have him. His price is going to rocket, as well. Better say something trying to put people off him somehow."

      his injury history doesn’t look too bad and no worse than typically expected ??

    How about the following for -8

    TAA/Son/Foden/Wilson >
    Cancelo/KDB/Ziyech/Brewster

    1. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No reason to sell Son for KdB this gw

      1. seanmcging
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I have 2 FT’s so I suppose I could just go for Foden & TAA to Ziyech & Cancelo, hold off on KDB for GW10.

    2. Iceball

      No

    3. Bushwhacker

      Madness

  3. 272MK
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    2 GWs ago I did Lamptey > Zouma

    Now their total points are equal.

    And I have to make due with him occupying my team as the 3rd Chelsea player.

    Hmm

  4. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    on a respectable score but still OR didn't go up by much. 300k rise with Hakim and Chilly at 1.9M is dissapointing.

  5. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Ziyech was under-priced by FPL Towers.

  6. manu4life99

    Bps final? None for Chilwell despite winning goal?

          FPLgameweek is pretty good

    Bps

    Ziyech 38
    Abraham, Kante 33
    Werner 31
    Chilwell 29

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      So Ziyech 3, Abraham and Kante share 2 and that’s it

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not anymore.

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          What do you mean sorry?

  13. FER FUSCH AKE

    Average

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

      looks like it :/

  14. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Best 4.4 defender?

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kilman probably

      1. George Agdgdgwngo
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Was thinking balbuena

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kilman unlikely to start tomorrow.

    3. Carefree Crew
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Is Scott Dann worth considering?

  15. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    54 with 5 to play 🙂 atleast that’s one positive from today... absolute trash

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nice well done! I’m on 28 from 3

  16. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I had only Cilwell in this game and, even though he scored, it was a big red arrow in the end. I think I need another Chelsea asset. Probably Ziyech. But, that could change all the plans of getting Kdb back. I think downgrading Kane to Werner would be easier.

    1. Boomerang V
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      *Chilwell

  17. Fudgy
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I have double West Ham defence...

    Clean sheet will last 10 mins max.

    1. Boomerang V
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      next time inform us before the deadline please.

    2. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd rather that as opposed to losing it in the 90th minute

  18. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Have the dispossessions for baps been factored in yet?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      All sorted it seems.

  19. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    As if Chilwell misses out on bps

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      🙁

  20. Gooner Kebab
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Should i prioritise to get Chilwell or Ziyech?

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Both I think

  21. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Z 3 A 2 W 1

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Ooh I love free WiFi.

  22. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Zouma yah waste of space...

  23. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Werner miss cost 6 points.

    3 years, 4 months ago

    mods definitely cheat on this game, no doubt about it. Seen it time and time again with bps system. Werner has missed 2/3 big chances but still on 31. I've seen so many other strikers completely floored for that

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You're a member, go see the BPS breakdown on the members area yourself.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      A goal is 24 bps for him.

  25. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    18 (22 with a hit) with Martinez, Coufal, Salah, Sterling, Son (C) and Podence to go. Already want to delete it!

  26. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 12 Years

    BPS count finalised yet? What about Chillers' winning goal ones?

  27. have you seen cyan

    Dont do it to yourselves, switch it off
