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.

    Lloris out of nowhere claims the 3 BAPs

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It was that last save.

      1. Big boy Bowen

        3 years, 4 months ago

    Well as a Kane, Son, Werner, Chilwell and James owner. I guess this result isnt too bad, I was always going to lsoe out somewhere unless everyone got an atatckign return

    Lowish scoring week for all I guess

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That's a decent outcome
      15 points from 2 defenders

      1. have you seen cyan

    2. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not too many popular scorers this week.

      Bruno, KDB, Chelsea defence and then differentials really.

  5. Pacer.

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

    FPL rigged Lloris

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

      Nah. He got his clean sheet like all other defensive assets but all got 3 saves. Worth the 3 BAPs... even if the saves were simple lol

  7. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Love that as only owning Chillwell

  8. Chucky
    • 10 Years

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Never mind Top 10k, three figures rank incoming 😀

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

  9. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Now Jiminez please.

  10. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    People crying over Lloris 1 extra point. Seriously sad.

    1. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      They’re crying over losing their Chelsea defender baps.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah i know

  11. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Should be more transparancy around the baps.

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

        Save is only +2. Nowhere did it state "Big Save" or "Key Save"

      2. Duke Silver ☑
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Still would like to see what adjustments they make after full time though.

    1. fusen
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It's annoying as the official FPL website used to make the stats available that were used to calculate the final score, so I had a page previously where you could see exactly what state was making up what amount of the total BPS

      This season or last they completely hid that data as realistically they didn't need to make it public, but it hides exactly how the BPS is being added up.

      I can't find a free source of the opta stats that make it up either, which is a shame

  12. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Might just end up doing Double Chelsea defence set and forget, CS vs United,Spurs and Sevilla is no joke

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Been onit for a while now, James and Chilwell

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

        same been on it for a while also, I compared James and Chilwell. Decided both was best

  13. Steve Chance
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane fail.

  14. jimmyabs1987
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Top of the league! Would take 4 points from those last 2 fixtures, now to smash the gooners next week 🙂

  15. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Can’t bring myself to sell Bruno. But finding it awfully difficult to fit Salah in without seling Bruno/KDB. Vardy might have to make way...

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

      Thats my plan. Vardy goes for Salah.

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

      Just go without for now and hope Jota covers him to an extent

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

    Zouma Chillwell double up is awesome

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Mendy Chilwell here

      Only positive from this week

  17. Peter Ouch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Its a bad gw when you have to use your 2nd sub from the bench.
    Thank you Mr Bissouma

  18. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Another pathetic casual favored GW... Vardy blank tomorrow to sum it up

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

      Not casual favoured at all.

      It was mainly differentials coming through this week.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not certain about that as Chilwell, R James and Mendy owner who has ditched both Kane and Son gor their difficult fixture run.

    3. FPL_Motty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy isn't casual? If son and kane had scored then it would be a casual favoured gw. But obviously they weren't going to because it was a tough game and mourinho parked the bus, surprise surprise

    4. JOELIO8701
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why is it a casual week? Are KDB, Bruno, Wilson, Chilwell, Dias not good picks?

  19. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Another disappointing FPL performance from Werner. Might have to ditch him in order to get KdB in.

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

      CS point though since he’s a mid 🙂

  20. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I have decided. Fek Cancelo and Ziyech. Im getting James and Mahrez. Then mahrez to salah next week

  21. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I did Martial + Richarlison + Ziyech + Coady + Bissouma > KDB + Jota + Bamford + Dias + Davis for -16 last night. Had exact cash and wanted to put out a lot of fires once and for all.

    Gives me -

    Martinez
    Dias - KWP - Lamptey
    Salah - KDB - Bruno - Grealish - Jota
    Vardy - Bamford

    Button - Taylor - Mitchell - Davis

    Worth it? 🙂

      Find out in a week.

    2. In Bale We Trust
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Team looks good but...a -16 will be hard to pay off

  22. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    You know what, I might actually be on for a good game week here. Nothing spectacular but just chipping away. Look like James and Chilwell will be in the bonus then?

  23. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Reguilon, Chillwell & Son owner (and Kane seller) so quite happy 🙂

  24. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    A day later and sterling is still punishing me with Kilman benched and no other sub.

  25. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    So any baps for chilly?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nice pair.

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

      James and Chilwell both drawn on 2 baps

    3. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      2 I think

    4. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Great

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

    42 with Grealish and Fabianski left

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

      34 with Vardy (C), Podence, Martinez and Coufal left.

    2. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      62 with Grealy and Martinez left

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

      53 with Martinez Grealish Vardy C left

  27. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Werner + Klich to Brewster and KDB for -4?

    Was tempted to wait another week but not convinced on Werner still and no KDB scares me vs. Fulham!

  28. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Based on that game and upcoming fixtures lose Ziyech or Son for KDB/Sterling?

    1. In Bale We Trust
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Do you have Kane as well? If so son

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

    Reason lloris is getting 3 baps

    He completed his 30th pass in injury time. With an accuracy over 90 that meant 4 bps

    Then add 2 bps for the last save

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

      Over 80*

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thx

  30. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Spurs top of the league after that yawnfest is an injustice to football.
