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.

    Chilwell has got my main rival nearly 60 points since he got him in, crazy!

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

      I am honestly happy with my James pick at 5.0

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

        Yeah was a good purchase.

    Chilwell hasn't blanked this season. Let that sink in.

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      This! He's crushed me into oblivion in my ML, outscored all my players I think

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

      While missing 3 games as well, Robbo wouldn't match him.

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

      I didn’t know that. Spectacular.

    50 with Martinez, Watkins, Grealish, Vardy to go. And banked a transfer. A Villa masterclass would be delightful

        1. Zimo

    Time to say goodbey to Kilman?

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

      Maybe goodbye

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      You can give him the Pool game because you won't be playing him there
      See where you are then?

    3. lugs
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      sold him already this week as part of a -8, the other 2 players in the hit didn't play either lol

  7. Oooo Matron
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Any thoughts here? Looking to move Kane on, but not sure for who but 12.0 to play with.

    McCarthy
    Robertson Chillwell Konsa
    Fernandes Grealish Jota KDB
    Kane DCL Bamford

    Subs: Semedo, Anguissa, Lampety

    1. AC Yew
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Kane to Wilson upgrade mid to fund Salah?

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

    Interested to see if we'll see defensive competence from Arsenal tonight. Could impact the minds of Kane cappers and holders.

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

    Parting gift from Semedo would be so great

  10. Londongeezaa
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    It’s been a low scoring week with no stand out performances (Mahrez aside).

    Only real potential for tears is with a captain Vardy hat trick 🙂

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

    Is this the end of Kilman?

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

    Buying Ziyech has literally ruined my season. No enjoyment any more.

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

      He will haul very soon. Am bringing him in for next gw.

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He's had two blanks

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

        I didnt want him, just regrets looking at him in my team. Cost me 7 points last week and this week, and will cost me a hit to remove as well. Pathetic FPL pick

    3. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He will get something v Leeds, but not over confident

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

    Podence haul today

    1. Plant Based FPLer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'll take 3 points.

  14. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Last night I was going to bring in KDB and Chilwell, now I can't afford them.

    1. Plant Based FPLer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      The price change schedule is cruel indeed. Even the stock market closes, but not FPL.

  15. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Arsenal right there playing with a no 10 who is not Ozil.

  16. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Son + ziyech
    To
    Kdb + jota (-4)?

  17. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Reece James has gone from the biggest liability on my GW3 wildcard to one of my team's best assets. Cheaper than Chilwell and delivering just as consistently.

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

      Chilwell + James double up woking fine for me as well.

    2. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Might need to just burn a transfer to get him in and be done with it. No Chelsea defence is frequently hurting.

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

      I moved him out after GW 3 wc and regretting

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

        thats whats great about owning James, many ditched him and alot wont go back, or didnt go back. I dont think you can call him a differential, but he is kinda is in comparison to Chilwell.
        Also many went Zouma, and lets face it, Zouma is only going to score when he is in the box off a set piece. James is marauding forward every game

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

      I got him in my GW3 WC too. Him playing sporadically worried me a bit. But the patience paying off now!

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

    Have exact funds for Son+ Martial-> Salah+ Bamford -4. So tempting...

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

      Easy move!

  19. Doctor Evil
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Only dropped 10k with a minus 8 and 4 to play, I’ll take that. Team all set up for next week from the hits?

    Martinez

    Lampty Chillwell Bellerin

    Son Salah Grealish KDB Bruno

    Big red arrow so far but have 5 including captain playing tomorrow so there is still hope...

  21. HippY
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Thoughts on Kilman coming off the bench? I'm hoping not!

  22. Will J 256
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Thoughts on this -4
    Mitchell and Ziyech to Dias and Jota?

    Selling Kane for a hit not looking quite as stupid as I had worried

    1. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Benched Mendy feels like it might bite me.

        oops

    Yet again after a promising start, the gameweek turns into averageness with nothing but blanks from the Sunday games.

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

    Silly selling Ziyech before that Chelsea run?

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

      Not sure about the run but before the Leeds game yes

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

        Leeds and a leaky Everton with Pickford in goal are the next two!

  27. KUN+10
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Rival:
    Justin, Targett, Watkins, Vardy (c)

    Me:
    Grealish, Cresswell, Martinez, Vardy (c)

    24 points difference...think I can catch him tomorrow?

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

      No. But what’s the rush?

      1. KUN+10
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I like to be on top, always
        on too

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

    Holding James proved very unexpectedly beneficial. Not having the transfers to remove him has turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Crazy how it works out sometimes

  29. drughi
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Ziyech sells ahead ov leeds and Everton

  30. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Best mid price attacket?

    1) Wilson
    2) Watkins
    3) Antonio
    4) any other
