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.

    Does FPL provide a breakdown of the BPS? Or its there any other site which has that feature?

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

      The help/scoring section explains what is required to earn them

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, I know about that. But no place where the stats are all together right? I would need to find stats and calculate manually for everyone like that.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      They give them to the same players every week even if they do nothing

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ha-ha! A little bit more clarity would be nice. Also, would give us more stats to analyze the players and their performances. Instead of seeing who gets BAPs, we could see who scores well according to them and is likely to get BAPs if they score/assist/keep CS.

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

    J. Rod & Kane --> KDB & Wilson makes sense even for (-4), right?

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

    survived selling kane and son, just need to survive Vardy tomorrow for a proper decent week...

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Too many bullets to dodge though....

      1. ElChapo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        dodged all of them so far!

        1. El Presidente
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Im with you brother... hidding behind the sofa tomorrow though...

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

    -12 tempts

    Martinez
    James - Chilwell - Dallas (Lamptey, Dunne)
    Salah - KDB - Fernandes - Jota (Bissouma)
    Vardy - Watkins - Bamford

    Surely it's too insane.. or is it?

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It is. Breathe

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

      Do it

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

        Why?

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Looks supreme for today but warning that in a couple of weeks you might want to take another -12

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

        Very true. I think I'll just stay patient on this one.

  5. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Jimemez 9 pointer hopefully.

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

    52 with Vardy (c) Watkins and Gabriel to go. Is that good this week?

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

      Insane

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

        Really? Team is pretty normal.

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

          What is it

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

            Pickford, gotta get rid
            Chilwell Gabriel James
            Bruno Jota KDB Son
            DCL Vardy Watkins.
            Pretty template.

        2. Joey Tribbiani
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Insane.

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

      Really good. I am at 34 with Vardy (C), Podence, Martinez and Coufal to go.

    3. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I doubt you'd have asked if you didn't think it was.

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

        I ask every week.

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

      Yeah excellent. I’m just about sneaking a green at 40k with 4 left but no captain and no Leicester so 52 is superb.

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

        So what has happened to make 52 such a good score. I feel like a lot of high owned players did well.

    5. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That’s incredible!

      I’m on 36 (-4) with 5 incl Vardy (c) to go

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

        Ah so maybe it’s because I’ve had most of my players play.

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Reckon it’ll still be a v good score by end of tomorrow

    6. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Well that's great score ... 34 here with Vardy (C) and another 3 lads. Loosing 6 pts guarantee from Cancelo no show Taylor 1st bench. Will be happy to avoid a red arrow.

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

        Yeah Cancelo must have been really frustrating.

  7. Andre W
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Yikes. No Cancelo, Lamptey or Kilman for me this week

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Join the club mate. If the Cancelo miss was a possibility, this Kilman one....

  8. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Every time i have many players from one game it ends 0-0.With two yellow cards.

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If all of them are defenders....

  9. SHOWSTOPPERRR
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Guys 37 with vardy(c) ,grealish, Martinez to go..bad or average? How others doing?

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

      That’s pretty good I think

    2. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You are in a good position. That's an average score so far, but if Vardy goes off, you will be laughing!

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

      i'll say above average, i have 16 points more.
      hope to get my best gw this season

  10. CheesyZoot
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy captainers still feeling confident?

    1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah

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

      Yeah of course. Why? Anything changed?

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

        Nope, just wondering, I also have him captained

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

      Very.

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

      Early penalty goal tomorrow and yes I will be

  11. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Hmm...realistically to get Salah back for GW12 (Fulham) I’ll need to sell Kane. Not sure how I feel about that.

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

      You’ll know sooner to the time.

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

        That’s what I’m hoping. I can do Grealish and Kane to Salah and Bamford/Antonio for free. But I jumped on both Kane and Grealish early and they’ve been great for me so it feels wrong. I have Jota but you just know Mo will haul against Fulham

        1. waltzingmatildas
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Exactly the same position. Reluctant but may be the only way

  12. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Gtg for next week providing midweek goes well???

    Martinez
    Chilwell Cresswell Robbo
    Son Salah Mahrez Torres Grealish
    Kane(c) DCL

    Martin Kilman Brewster Mitchell

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

    Martinez (Steer)
    Robertson, Chilwell, Coufal (KWP, Mitchell)
    Salah, Son, Ziyech, Grealish (Stephens)
    Kane, DCL, Bamford

    Have exact funds to do the following for a -8:
    Son -> KDB
    Ziyech -> Bruno
    DCL -> Wilson
    Robertson -> Taylor

    Worth it?

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

    Both teams gone 4-2-3-1 tonight?

  15. slove
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Worth bringing in Stones after Guardiola's recent comments?

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

      Serious question?

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

        He explicitly said that the players who play well are going to play until they lose their spot based on performances , I know Guardiola is a fraud but a 4.8 route into that city back line with their fixture run could pay off greatly

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

          But maybe Pep didn’t like his performance? 🙂

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

            He said in the same interview that he believes Stones is settled and based off his performance he's going to have the chance to show his quality

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

      Knowing Pep, his comments mean Garcia starts next game

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

      No. He is a transfer out waiting.

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

      Laporte
      Dias
      Stones
      Ake
      Fernandinho
      Garcia

      Too many options

  16. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Seems whether my players do nothing or something, my rank barely moves. Probably quite a template team, but hoping Vardy(c) will change things.

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

      Template teams always end up like that

  17. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bottomed.

    Best mid price forward?

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

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If antonio is fit, I'm very tempted.
      A looking decent too. Think they will all do well to be honest

    2. Alan_T
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Pick one and hold, don’t hokey cokey

  18. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Pretty happy with my team.
    Only liability is no kdb.
    Mccarthy button
    Chilwell James dias ayling mitchell

    Mané to kdb?

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes but you need Jota or Salah

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Have jota?

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years

          Sorry!!! Gtg!

          1. waltzingmatildas
            • 13 Years

            Cheers

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

      Yes imo and have to find a way to get Salah for 12 as well

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Hmm you are right.
        Kane might need to fund it but reluctant to lose him

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

      Yes

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

        Have you thought about a triple up on Mane, Salah and Jota for gamweek 12?

  19. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    How hopeless is my h2h? Is it lost?

    Him: 47 + Konsa
    Me: 28 + Vardy (c) + Grealish

    It feels doable!

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

      Grealish is very important

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

      Far from lost, as long as the party doesn't get cancelled...

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

      Vardy brace and you've comfortably beat him. Very far from lost. Even 1 goal from him can be compensated through Grealish.

    4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah

    5. Eh, just one more thing ...

      I’d say your in with a very good shout.

  20. FPL Daniel

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

      Wow. What happened? Have they just got loads to play,

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Kane, Son and DCL all blanking will have hurt the top 10k.

  21. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    40(-4) here with Vardy(c), Justin, Grealish and Coufal to go.

  22. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    1FT.

    Would you do Son + Kane -> KDB and Wilson (-4)?

    Martinez
    Coufal Chilwell Kilman
    Grealish Son Bruno Salah
    Bamford Kane DCL

    Steer Dallas Bissouma Lamptey

  23. F_Ivanovic
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    5 GW's ago I was 2.3million. Now I'm nearly top 300k with another good score this week 65 (-4)

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

      65. That is good by the looks of it.

    2. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nicely done!

  24. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What are your plans about DCL and Robbo (if you own him)
    It also seems that it's time for a 3-5-2 if you decide to drop DCL

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

      Both of them are potential outs for me, first time I need cash

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Looking to shift JROD and very likely DCL the following week, I might ditch him for Wilson for next weekend.

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

    Anyone considering James Chilwell and Zouma triple up?

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

      No, I know I’ll want Werner soon

    2. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You will be missing Chelsea attackers when goals start flowing

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

      Dias > Zouma IMO

    4. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Had chilwell mendy James triple for last two weeks and that’s two clean sheets on the bounce ... fingers crossed that holds.

  26. King of Kings.
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on Son to KDB now after tonights game? Looks like mou going back to defensive style for the bigger/tighter games. Lots of them coming up for spurs

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

    Man United 1-6 Spurs
    Chelsea 0-0 Spurs

    Crazy topsy turvy season!

    1. King of Kings.
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Utd terrible defensively and chelsea good defensively so not a massive surprise

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

      And Chelsea Untied 0:0

      1. Big boy Bowen
