Chelsea’s 3-4-3 formation getting best out of Werner and Alonso

CHELSEA 2-0 NEWCASTLE

  • Goals: Timo Werner (£9.2m), Olivier Giroud (£6.7m)
  • Assists: None
  • Bonus: Giroud x3, Kepa Arrizabalaga x2 (£4.7m), Marcos Alonso x1 (£5.7m), Antonio Rudiger x1 (£4.6m)

WERNER DRIVER

Thomas Tuchel appears to be getting the best out of Timo Werner (£9.2m) after he registered a fourth attacking return in three matches in Double Gameweek 24.

Having failed to score a Premier League goal since November, Werner looked a threat against Newcastle right-back Emil Krafth (£4.2m), as he rampaged down the left with Marcos Alonso (£5.7m) all game.

With his new manager deploying him on the left-hand side of the front-three in a 3-4-3 formation, Werner is often finding himself as the most-advanced Chelsea player on the pitch.

This allows Werner to make more runs in behind the defence, which we saw against Newcastle as he was played in time and time again behind Krafth.

In Lampard’s previous system, Werner often found himself isolated as a number nine, or out on the left-wing where he was having to track back.

But the forward is clearly relishing playing higher up the pitch and driving Chelsea attacks, also creating three assists in his last three games.

Tuchel explained after the game that his goal is to get Werner into more advanced positions.

“He did very good (sic) in the first half, second half was too many decisions backwards. I’m convinced Tim was very decisive for us today with an assists and a goal. I’m very happy for that, he really deserved it, he’s been working hard and we could feel this would come. I think he can also play as a double striker, sometimes as a number nine if he’s clever enough to use his speed and runs. His favourite position and his biggest strengths are if he can drift out to the left side.”

Thomas Tuchel

Judging by Tuchel’s comments, and the fact that he has started each of the last four games, Werner seems to be a key part of the new Chelsea side.

With the striker appearing to be back in form in a system tailor made for his style, it could be time to reconsider Werner for our Fantasy Premier League sides.

PARTY LIKE IT’S 2017

FPL managers were treated to another nostalgia trip at Stamford Bridge by the sight of Alonso rampaging down the left.

Frozen out of the team by Lampard, Alonso seems to be back in favour after the arrival of Tuchel, starting three out of the German’s five Premier League games.

Playing in his favoured position of wing-back, Alonso showed just why he can be a devastating FPL asset.

With three centre-backs behind him, Alonso frequently joined in with Chelsea attacks and regularly found himself in the box.

He also wasn’t shy to let fly from range, and had the most attempts on goal of anyone on the pitch.

Alonso’s re-emergence has surprisingly seen Ben Chilwell (£5.9m) left out of the side, a big step-change considering he was one of Chelsea’s best assets under Lampard.

Tuchel has previously said that while he admires Chilwell’s talent, mainly fielding Alonso due to his expertise at wing-back.

“We took the choice for Marcos in a game where we played with five because he was more familiar with the position he played under Antonio Conte. We opted for Marcos against Burnley for his strength in the air then Marcos had a very good match and scored a decisive goal, and from there it was hard to come back. I had a talk with Ben before that match and told him ‘you have to trust me now, I see your potential, I see your talent’.”

Thomas Tuchel

Should Tuchel stick with the back five formation, then it sounds like Alonso is his current first choice. And if the Spaniard can keep delivering four shots in the box every game, then he will be just as good an asset as he was in 2017.

TUCHEL POWER

Chelsea continued their impressive run under Tuchel, with four wins in five games and only one goal conceded.

Added to this, Chelsea also have a strong run of fixtures coming up, as shown in our Season Ticker.

The main threat to any Chelsea asset right now appears to be Tuchel’s rotation, especially with the return of the Champions League.

Only Mateo Kovacic (£5.3m), Jorginho (£4.7m) and Antonio Rudiger (£4.6m) have started all of Tuchel’s five games in charge.

With Kovacic offering little from an FPL perspective and Jorginho’s returns seemingly limited to penalties, Rudiger looks the best option of the three for consistent returns.

GAYLE FLAT

With star striker Callum Wilson (£6.6m) likely to miss the next two months through injury, Dwight Gayle (£5.9m) returned to the Newcastle attack.

But Gayle’s performance summed up another dismal display for Newcastle.

As the heatmap below shows, Gayle failed to perform Wilson’s role of leading the line for the Toon, and found himself dropping back into midfield to try and help cover Alonso and Werner.

(Gayle number 12, Fraser 21)

Gayle only managed one shot during the whole game before he was hooked off and replaced by Joelinton (£5.7m).

The heatmap also shows another Wilson alternative that Newcastle fans, in particular have called for.

Ryan Fraser (£5.6m) may have only had a cameo appearance at Stamford Bridge, but he was one of the few Newcastle players to look threatening going forward.

And with Newcastle playing a fluid front two, many have called for the Scot to be played in a false nine position.

CHELSEA XI (3-4-3): Kepa; Rudiger, Christensen, Azpilicueta; Alonso, Kovacic, Jorginho, Hudson-Odoi (James 78); Werner, Abraham (Giroud 20), Mount (Kante 70)

NEWCASTLE XI (4-3-3): Darlow; Krafth, Lascelles, Clark, Lewis; Willock (Carroll 79), Shelvey, Hayden; Gayle (Joelinton 64), Almiron, Saint-Maximin (Fraser 72)

    Gundo cappers are the type of people to win 100 million in the lottery then complain about getting a parking ticket...

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years

      Bloody right too. There was no sign up to say I couldn't park there or that Gundogan would get injured.

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Absolutely this!

    2. jdp219

      Heck, I'm just happy I finally picked a good captain for the first time in, like, 12 weeks. I'm ecstatic with 38 points.

    3. stooffrob
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I TC'd Gundo, I'm chuffed to bits, but I must admit, there is a part of me that's gutted about the injury. Could've been a legendary haul

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

    This is team at present.
    Martinez Forster
    Dallas Coufal Shaw Stones Mee
    Grealish Bruno Sterling Gundogan Son
    Bamford Watkins Kane

    Any suggestions with my transfer this week. .0.2 in the bank.
    Grealish to Raphinia ?
    Don't think I'll need to wildcard yet.

    1. Totalfootball
      • 7 Years

      Gr8 team

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      As a Leeds fan you should know you lot are no good with KP, why bother with the triple up?

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Without*

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

        I know that but it's double game week madness and it's my team. Would feel bad not having 3.

      3. HammersXI
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        You didn't seem to think so yesterday haha. Tbh he's only bringing in 1 player. And that's the right player who is bang on form now with or without KP

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Here we go again...

          Honestly think you’ve put me off triple Leeds from yesterday hahaha

          1. HammersXI
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            It's just friendly banter dont worry 🙂

            If I have Dallas + Bamford the triple up would be fine tbh, but taking hits to get 2 Leeds players is what I would advise against.

    3. Deulofail
      • 8 Years

      Grealish to Minamino or, probably better, save

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        If Gundo is available for sure, save, imo

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 11 Years

          Cheers

      2. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years

        If I went to any Southampton it would be jwp.Might just save.

    4. JJeyy
      • 8 Years

      why would you get rid of grealish with their forecast doubles and they even play in 29?

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

        I know . Just weighing up my options.

      2. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years

        Seen Villa of late?

  3. JJeyy
    • 8 Years

    Currently on a -300% red arrow lol, hopefully Sterling can change that.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years

      Like leaning on a broken stick.

      1. JJeyy

          I have him too. Not in any way confident.

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm on -45% as well. Could do with a Gundo bench and Sterling haul. Maybe Cancelo/Dias can chip as well. This GW has been atrocious so far.

  4. rubberdignerapids

    on a WC, A or B?

    A) KDB/Sterling, Targett, Dallas

    B) Salah, Stones, Stuijk

  5. Phil's Stamps
    • 13 Years

    Is this bench strong enough to boost in 26?

    Pope Bamford Raphina Dunk

    For a hit, Raphina could be Barnes.

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    2. rubberdignerapids

    3. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years

      Cheers, it doesn't look very sparkly with only one doubler, but it sets me up well for both 25 and 29.

  6. kobewan

    play?

    A. Martinez
    B. McCarthy (DGW)

    1. Joggers Nipple

      Same problem, currently A

      1. kobewan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Against Leicester, CS less likely but he will surely have a lot of saves

    2. enrico.palazzo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would go B... but it’s a toss up

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

    4. Casual Player
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm doing B, but not super confident.

    5. KUN+10

      A

    6. Salan
      • 14 Years

      B. Downsize is not too much with 2 games in hand. Not always to concede 9 in every games

  7. enrico.palazzo
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play Pope or McCarthy?

    Have lowton if that changes things

    1. rubberdignerapids
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Hmmm...probably still Pope...McCarthy and Southampton's backline is just attrocious

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Pope

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

      Pope

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

      McCarthy. My *only* worry would be that he gets dropped. 2 fixtures is always better than 1 when it comes to GK's regardless of the fixtures and how bad a defence *has* been simply because of the 2 extra guaranteed appearance points.

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

    Chances of Cancelo starting?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Only Pep knows- 50/50

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      75%... Could see Cancelo in midfield to fill Gundo’s spot.

      1. KUN+10

        I like this response the best haha

        • 8 Years

        Ings is a village in the South Lakeland district of Cumbria, England. It lies on the course on the River Gowan and A591 road, 2 miles (3.2 km) east of Windermere.[1]

  11. Kay317

    Big selection issues next week. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Martinez
    Shaw, Dallas, Cancelo
    Salah, Bruno, Sterling, Raphina
    Ings, Bamford, Cavani
    (Forster, Gundo, Cresswell, Lowton)

    If Gundo is fit for Arsenal I think I have to play him so thinking I'd stick him in instead of Cavani. Don't think there's an obvious choice really.

    What you reckon?

  12. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Best move here? Planning to WC26:

    A) Mitchell -> Dallas
    B) Martinelli -> Raphina
    C) Coufal/Martinelli -> Dallas/Raphina (-4)
    D) Something else

    Pope
    Cancelo, Tarkowski, Targett
    Salah, Bruno, Sterling, Gundogan
    Ings, Bamford, Watkins

    Forster, Coufal, Martinelli, Mitchell
    Bank 1.2m, 1FT, all chips

      Too much in goal & no Salah

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        A lack of gd keeper has hurt me thru the season and My deduction of clean sheets lie with these 2. Guarantee starts and still cheaper than most other keepers. The Salah choice was a tough one. To keep Kane, son, Bruno, maddy, grealish, I need to drop salah. I’m goin with the thinking this grp can do better with Salah and a midfield fodler

  16. jdp219

    Finding it pretty cool that Maja is in the PL now after seeing him in the Sunderland doc on Netflix.

    2FTs, 4.2itb -- One way or another, someone else from Leeds is coming in. And because I'll probably will WC in 26, I can get Kane (or Son) anyway.

    So maybe the better question: Is Ings worth it for dgw25?

    1) DCL, Soucek > Kane, Raphinha
    2) DCL, Coufal > Kane, Dallas
    3) Antonio, Soucek > Ings, Raphinha

    1. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      fwiw - Kane does quite well against WHU, historically: 11G/2A in 13 games, all comps.

        No idea really. Plan was to WC26 to get Son/Kane, ditch BUR/LEE/WHU, tidy up bench and use chips in later weeks. Not sure I’d be changing too much of the 15 with a WC, but gotta use it at some point!

        Could just do Sterling/Ings -> Son/Kane (-4) next week I guess

      Probably.

        Will you wildcard this week? I ask because we have the same team. Thank you!

      Would you not want to use your TC / BB chip next week?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah maybe TC26 (Kane) if I don’t WC. Perhaps take a -4 next week (Sterling/Ings -> Son/Kane(TC)) and save the WC?

        1. HammersXI
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          You're in a better state than my team. Those 2 transfers look juicy tbh

    Damn, I was busy past few days, didn't log on.
    Just seen that I lost 0.2 on Justin and Holding.

    Justin ->Dallas good move?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      It's a good move if you are fine with relying on attacking return only. Personally not a fan, would rather take a punt on Shaw or Dunk.

    Wanted to save my WC and BB 26, but I can't get a decent team without a -12. Currently have 2FT

    Martinez
    Dias Cancelo KWP*
    Salah Son Bruno Grealish Gundo
    Antonio* Bamford

    (Forster* Mitchell* Brewster* Coufal*)

    A) 2FT for Ings + Dallas this week, WC26
    B) -12 for out the * players who will be poor for the DGW over the next 2 weeks
    C) Ignore BB, use FT to get a strong 11 of DGW players

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A or C looks sensible

    2. HammersXI
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It's a shame about the 2FT, if u had 1 FT I would advise to WC straight away as you have several doubts in your team and can distribute your funds better.

      If you really want to use ur chips next week, i advise activating your WC this week instead.

      1. MikeLowrey
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yep In hindsight I would've got a Burnley defender for this week, but it's done now.

        I might load up on Ings + Dallas this week for the doubles, and reassess my options

  23. HammersXI
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Already took a -4,

    Should I activate WC or take another hit next week to get 10 DGW players (pending fixtures)

    Current Team:

    Martinez (Forster)
    Lowton Dias Rudiger (Digne Coufal)
    Son Raphinha Salah Gundogan Bruno
    Bamford Ings (4.3)

    5m ITB

    1. Chelsea91

      Focus DGW for attackers rather than Defender for the huge DGW. It will be a lot goals, otherwise get the defenders that can assist the goals.

      1. HammersXI
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah but the question is whether my current team is ok to take hits without WC for GW26.

    2. FPL ElasticO
      • 9 Years

      G2g.... I can't tell you to take another -4 for Dallas... if you thinking for that then Coufal >> Dallas, but again Leeds defence.....

      1. HammersXI
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I wouldn't for sure. The CS rate vs Assist / Goal contribution isn't there atm for that move.

        But if I do WC i'll highly consider

    3. Vlekz

        Don't need to wildcard that. You would essentially be wildcarding to get a bench out. You can do it in gameweek 30 too and set yourself up for a strong bench for the random benchings teams go for once on the beach.

    4. bigbudgie

      Rate NOW in terms of deploying a wildcard cause I really feel like spaffing it up the wall. Front line of DCL Martial Wilson for a start!

      What are the pros and cons, due to time constraints this year with work and family I haven't been able to study as much as usual!

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I would go for WC if you need to change something in defense and mid as well. That frontline is weak. WC to get likes of Kane, vardy, Ings, Watkins etc...

    5. Chelsea91
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mendy
      Dias,Stones,Dallas
      Salah,Gundagon,Grealish,Maddison,Bruno
      Bamford(TC),DCL

      Areola Lowton,Creswell,Antonio

      Good to go for GW 25?
      0 ft and 0.6 M itb.

    6. FPL ElasticO

      The only player guaranteed to play tonight is Pope..... In DGW it's better not to target Man City players for captaincy or TC? Though they are explosive options but too much rotation risk to ponder with..... Trust with Pep team selection is difficult to predict.....

      1. Chelsea91
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Pope,Tarkowski,Lowton,Ederson,Dias

        1. FPL ElasticO
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          You never no Pep might give Ederson a rest for CL.... BUR assets are ok

          1. Chelsea91
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Pep will not rest Ederson for EPL games.

    7. b91jh

      Bench one:
      A) White (CRY)
      B) Grealish (LEI)
      C) Cresswell (TOT)
      D) Dias (ars)

      1. Chelsea91
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        C

    8. FPL ElasticO

      Is it worth benching DCL for Stones also starting Cancelo....

      1. Chelsea91
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        start dcl

      Is it wise to ditch Salah on WC if it means maximising bench boost? At his price, he takes up a lot of the funds but he could have a DGW...

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I would.

        His DGW games are likely to be shu and CHE. Wouldnt fear.

        Though he might get a jammy haul this week vs Everton
