Kane aiming to extend eight-game run without a blank as Rodon starts in defence

Perhaps the most eagerly anticipated fixture of the weekend sees Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur clash at Stamford Bridge.

Kick-off in west London is at 16:30 GMT.

There are no real surprises in terms of team news, with both managers making just one change apiece from the sides they sent out in Gameweek 9.

Frank Lampard’s sole alteration was widely anticipated, with Thiago Silva (£5.5m) replacing Antonio Rudiger (£4.5m) at the heart of the Blues’ defence.

The fit-again Christian Pulisic (£8.2m) is back among the substitutes, alongside Kai Havertz (£8.3m).

Jose Mourinho’s only tweak to his line-up was an enforced one and also comes at centre-half, with Toby Alderweireld (£5.4m) ruled out with a groin problem.

Premier League rookie Joe Rodon (£5.0m) gets the nod over Davinson Sanchez (£5.3m) to partner Eric Dier (£4.9m).

There is plenty of interest in this one from a Fantasy Premier League perspective, with Harry Kane (£10.9m) and Son Heung-min (£9.5m) the second and third most-owned players in the game.

Five of Chelsea’s starting XI, including three of their back four, also boast double-digit ownerships, with Ben Chilwell (£6.1m) the most popular option among that quintet.

Kane was, in fact, the most-sold forward of Gameweek 10, with just over 200,000 Fantasy managers offloading the England international despite his impressive run of form: not since the opening weekend has the Spurs striker blanked.

Chelsea XI: Mendy, James, Zouma, Thiago Silva, Chilwell, Kante, Kovacic, Mount, Ziyech, Abraham, Werner.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Aurier, Rodon, Dier, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele, Bergwijn, Son, Kane.

    Do something Ziyech 🙁

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

      Subbed for Pulisic?

    2. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He is, he's handing out the oranges at half-time.

  2. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    So Son to KDB for a hit might have been the right call after all

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Too soon.

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

        Maybe

    2. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Dont jinx yourself mate

      1. Gunners in Haaland
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Too much minions

  3. onceuponatyne

    When is TAA due back?
    Gotta ditch Digne, and he'd have been first choice if imminently returning (Got Cancelo, Justin, Zouma and Lewis)

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

      Nobody knows

  4. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Was lowkey confident of a double CS before the match and fairly hopeful now. Lampard has become more pragmatic in big games, ekeing out 0-0s against Sevilla and United with his team becoming the best defense in the league. Jose naturally parks the bus in big games. If both managers decide to accept the 0-0 as an acceptable result that would be ideal.

      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You already know they’re texting each other in the changing rooms with a gentleman’s agreement of 0-0

  5. FPL.team
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Ziyech + Robertson to Bruno + Dias (or any defender up to 5.7m) for a -4 worth it or try to ignore Bruno?

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

    Need Zouma goal in the second half to save my season...

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

      As long as Son gets the assist.

    2. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Your season has already died six times, how can you keep getting more chances to save it? 😀

      1. The Neville Wears Prada
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Make a new team every week

      2. Chucky
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        😛

  7. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Will Spurs score against Arsenal?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Surely lol

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

      You'd score against them.

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

      yeh pepe og...

    4. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      They will but they won’t haul. We will go there and park the bus.

    5. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Quite comfortably. They won’t sit back

    6. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bus Vs Bus

    7. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A confusing game to predict. Arsenal is the one parking the bus this season, and Tottenham has Mourinho, but this game is always high scoring and entertaining. So my
      prediction is a red card.

  8. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    @TM you ditching Cancelo immediately?

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

      Not tonight.

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Reckon he's been usurped rather than rested?

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

          Who knows, Mendy goal didn't help.

  9. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Neville getting hammerd in the studio 😆

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Gary was never that good going forwards 😆

      Early predictable crosses can be deadly. Ziyech and Robertson are great examples of that.

  10. Right In The Stanchion
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Jimmy Floyd Hasslebaink was a great player. Never won a thing in his career though.

    Just unfortunate I guess.

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Ibrahimovic never won CL.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I will

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      What do you make of Harry Kane?

  11. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    With possibly Wilson and Bamford up top, what midfield are you targeting? Salah, Son, Bruno, KDB and Jota all then possible

    1. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I am at Sterling, Son, KDB and will move out Sterling for Salah

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Mega, midfield, have you got Wilson, Bamford & DCL?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        No, not got this right now. Thinking for my WC in the next few weeks

    3. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Can't really go without one premium forward. Prefer Kane in the position.

    4. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Salah KDB Bruno Son Jota
      DCL Bamford

      Will have this for the Liv v Ful game

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Excellent

    5. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Possible but could be boring template, rightly so 😉

    6. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Likely to stick with 3-4-3 ... There's a lot of forward options instead of 6.8 for Jota

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

    Kilman should play tonight right?

    1. Brehmeren
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Why wouldn't he?

      1. jam sandwich
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Kilman might get dropped if they go to a back 4

        1. Flair
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Lmao, this would be very amusing.

    2. JBG
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Most likely yes.

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

        Thanks both

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

    Son & Kane have been getting in great positions. We've just been too solid.

    We'll be one of their harder opponents. The likes of Arsenal are going to be far more susceptible to letting them through & they can easily get points.

    1. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No need to diss Arsenal like that, they’ve conceded the same as Chelsea this season.

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Misleading stat considering Chelsea's defensive stats are worlds apart w/ and w/o Kepa.

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

        NLD a different animal 😀

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

      Tbf Arsenal are solid against big teams too

  14. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Cavani train leaving the station looking at rate of rise on stats site?

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

      Low ownership. Well-known name & the United fanbase is huge.

  15. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Even if the game were to end 1-0 with a Ziyech assist he won't get any bonus right?

    1. JJO
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He was awfull first half,to be honest

  16. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Have double chelsea defence as well as kane and son

    A chelsea cleanie better for me overall right?

    1. Railwayman
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes.

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Son G Kane A very nice

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

  17. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Ziyech gtfo of my team... useless plonker

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Who's replacing? Mahrez? Jota?

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        KDB. Also removing Kane for Jesus

  18. Railwayman
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    How was the first half, anything worth mentioning ?

    1. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Nope, exactly as expected. Both teams not allowing too much space, trying to avoid any mistakes. Half chances only

      1. Railwayman
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks.

      2. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers - Much in the way of counter-attack from either?

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Two big busses parked, end to end

    3. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Werner excellent offside goal, Berwijn half chance, otherwise little worth noting.

    4. The Neville Wears Prada
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Some will say tactical masterclass, others will say as fun as dried cat poo

  19. andres
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    How do i use my 2FTs wisely, surely ziyech to Jota?

    Mccarthy forster
    Cancelo chillwell coufal targett mitchell
    Kdb bruno grealish ziyech soucek
    Vardy DCL watkins
    1.0, 2FT

  20. JBG
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    1-1 with Sissoko and Kante goals would be nice here. With no assists.

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

      0-1 Chilwell goal Ziyech assist

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Oh wow. I own ziyech finally some points

  21. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    This game has Pulisic winner written all over it.

    1. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Would be nice just to see pulisic, exciting player

  22. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Ziyech, Grealish and Semedo to Salah, Jota and 3.8(-4) for GW12? Already have 4 playing defenders and gives a midfield of Salah, KDB, Bruno, Son and Jota with a balanced team

    1. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Dont lose grealish

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

        DCL to a sub 7 mill forward instead?

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

      Grealish out doesn't sound great.

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

        I have no other option other that DCL to get the funds for the move

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Grealish has great fixtures for the rest of 2020

    4. KAALI_DAAL
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Jotaldinho

  23. DonBenzema
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Ziyech -> Jota looking like a no-brainer right now

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

      Do you need the money?

      1. DonBenzema
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Not really, but have no Liverpool players

  24. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bruno to Salah and DCL to Wilson in GW12?

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'd get Salah another way.

  25. Lazaretti
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    This team is worth of -8 maybe -12 or even -16. Any suggestions 2FT, 2.4 itb

    Martinez - Peacock-....
    Robertson - PVA - Dallas - Lamptey - Kilman
    Salah - J.Rodrigues - Grealish Ziyech - Klich
    Kane - Bamford - Watkins

  26. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Is Kilman now a regular starter?

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years

      Rumored to be dropped today from source in Wolves fan forums

    2. CheesyZoot

    Reece James can really cross a ball. What a player he is. 20 years old.

    1. Flair

    3 years, 3 months ago

    Chelsea score towards scoring. Giroud and Pulsiic needed
