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.

    Bitch sub him off. It'll just make the injury worse if he's actually injured

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos

      He loses CS if subbed?

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

        No. Maybe baps but clean sheet secured.

    All that money invested in superstars and only 2 shots on target. Dyche is getting that out of no-names for pennies.

    I would take Chilwell off as a precaution against him losing his cs and bbs. 😛

    Martinez (Forster)
    Robbo, Chilwell, Cancelo (Dallas, Mitchell)
    Bruno, Son, Ziyech, Grealish (Soucek)
    Kane, DCL, Bamford

    Best way to bring in KDB with 1ft and 2 itb?

    A) Kane + Soucek > KDB + Adams (-4)
    B) Son + Grealish > KDB + Jota (-4)
    C) Grealish + Robbo > KDB + Coufal (-4)
    D) Other ideas?

  8. FER FUSCH AKE

    A team full of blanks other than Bruno(c), with Coufal Martinez Podence to go.

        • 7 Years

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

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

      This... I'd even take a Son or Kane goal.

  15. TOLV TUMS
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Son doesn’t look sharp

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

      Not being given a look-in rather than getting the chances and fluffing them.

    15 mins until I’m 1750 richer.

          Did u really bet 500 pounds on something that unpredictable

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

            Was it though? I always thought this was would end 0-0, 1-0. Of course sometimes things go hilariously wrong, but going according to plan... for now

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

      0-0

    3. CheesyZoot

  17. shearer9
    • 7 Years

    Which Leicester defender is the best option long term? Got 6.3 to spend and already got Chilwell and Zouma

  18. Top Lad Dakes.

    Son and Kane blanking here then.

    Kane out, a week too late

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

      Kane will score a few Arsenal

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

        Arsenal game will be no different

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

      This was the week to remove them, surely you keep for Arsenal? Decent fixture though the parked bus can be a worry.

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

        Kane out funds Podence to KDB

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

      Son too.

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

      If you kept them for this game, might as well keep. If they were to be removed, it was this and last week

  19. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Giroud on for Tammy

    1. TOLV TUMS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      That hair

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

    Ziyech nailed in that front 3. Puli to rotate with Werner and Giroud with Tammy

  21. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Timo has one more week in my team, then he’s out to allow me to bring in Bruno!

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

    Gironde needs to get on ASAP frank. Not holding the ball up at all, spurs looking more dangerous

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

      Ffs, giroud*

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

    Spurs, will you never win the PL with Mourinho being so negative!!!!!

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

      ^will never

    2. Flair
      • 3 Years

      He's won 3 PLs, 2 CL, 1 La Liga, 2 Serie A titles playing like this.

  24. JELLYFISH
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on Mahrez for City cover? I know it looks like chasing points but I can’t afford any of their premium options

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

      Not worth it. Kdb or deal with rotation

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

      Missed the baps

      KdB main man

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

        It would have to be for Salah then, though I do have Jota and Robbo for pool cover

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

          Theres no Salah cover other than Salah. Hope you don't mind when he scores a hatrick 😉

    3. TOLV TUMS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      The usual rotation issues

  25. Alan_T
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Pulisic, Maddison or Zaha for a draft league?

  26. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bunch of cowards. Leave Chilwell on so he can score

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

      This guy goes deep

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

      Need him off so Kane and Son can let it rip.

  27. ragonian
    • 10 Years

    Don’t do it

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

    Really do need a Chelsea defender.... shame my attack also needs fixing, with 1 FT

  29. TorresMagic™

    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    3 - Chilwell (27)
    2 - James (26)
    1 - Dier (25)

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
