Will Mason Mount be fit for FPL Gameweek 11?

Our review of the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek 10 action continues with Newcastle United v Chelsea.

For a briefer summary of Saturday’s Premier League action, click here, while Sunday’s matches saw Leeds beat Norwich and West Ham trounce 10-man Aston Villa.

Newcastle United 0-3 Chelsea

  • Goals: Reece James (£5.7m) x2, Jorginho (£5.8m) penalty
  • Assists: Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.4m), Kai Havertz (£8.1m)
  • Bonus: James x3, Jorginho x2, Ben Chilwell (£5.9m) x2

MOUNT UPDATE

The most-bought player of Gameweek 10, Mason Mount (£7.6m), failed to make Chelsea’s matchday squad on Saturday.

The Blues confirmed that the midfielder missed out through illness, with Thomas Tuchel offering the following update:

“[Mount] should have started but he got ill overnight and so we sent him home to London so that we can take care of him better and that he can recover better.” – Thomas Tuchel on Mason Mount

When “illness” is cited these days, the concern is that it could be Covid-related and lead to an absence of more than one fixture.

The player himself eased those fears on social media:

“Gutted to have missed the game but what a performance from the lads to get the win. Woke up and didn’t feel 100% (non COVID related) but will hopefully be fully recovered over the next couple of days.” – Mason Mount

Monday brought news that Mount is not fit enough to make the trip to Malmo for Tuesday’s Champions League tie, so the flag looks set to remain on the midfielder until Tuchel’s pre-Gameweek 11 presser:

“For Mason, he does not feel really better. To stop any speculation, it’s not Covid – he’s just ill and does not feel good enough to take part in training and, of course, take part in the trip to Malmo.” – Thomas Tuchel

BEST CHELSEA DEFENDERS?

Mount illness latest as 2

“Which Chelsea defender(s) should I buy” has perhaps been the most consistently asked question on these pages over the last few months, with the answers changing from week to week.

The perceived wisdom that a double-up on Ben Chilwell (£6.0m) and Reece James (£5.7m) is too risky, given Tuchel’s predilection for rotation at wing-back, is certainly being challenged, with the pair racking up a combined six goals and 78 points over the last four Gameweeks alone.

James’s superbly taken brace against Newcastle made him Chelsea’s leading goalscorer in the top flight this season and despite four ‘one pointers’ in his seven Premier League appearances in 2021/22, James is second only to Chilwell for points per match among FPL defenders.

Tuchel talked of the importance of goal contributions from his wing-backs after full-time:

“Reece is allowed to come inside, that’s not a problem. We have players in all the spaces in which we want to be dangerous. So if there is a winger waiting wide, it is absolutely allowed to attack the half-space from wing-back.

“In general, I think every team in this system does this. We need the wing-backs to arrive in the box at the end of our attacks to increase the chance of scoring and creating goal chances.” – Thomas Tuchel

Those comments followed similar ones from his pre-match presser, in which he hinted that the Blues were encouraging James to get forward even more – although he also namechecked positional rivals Marcos Alonso (£5.6m) and Cesar Azpilicueta (£6.1m) when discussing Saturday’s starters:

“It’s a very important position, the system that we play. Of course, a very important part of the position is to arrive in the box, and to create a goal threat from the position.

“This is what we want and what we demand. I’m happy that Chilly is scoring and reaching his full potential and pushing limits constantly because it fits pretty perfectly his personal player profile.

“For Reece, you see sometimes he plays in the back three but this means that I would not do this with Chilly. His character means he is not the type of guy to play in the back-three, he takes more risk and he is more free to arrive in offensive positions.

“For Reece, we have to encourage him to trust himself to arrive in the box and be dangerous because he can be a real threat, physically and actually also technically in finishing some fantastic goals against Arsenal and Norwich.

“I am happy with everybody, Marcos [Alonso] was very strong at the beginning, Chilly is now very strong, and Azpi and Reece are very strong at right wing-back. Callum made a huge step in the last game and took one for the team because everybody was out.” – Thomas Tuchel

It should be said that Chilwell and James both boast shot-to-goal conversion rates of over 40% this season, percentages that would be unsustainable for even forwards over the course of a campaign, let alone two wing-backs.

We may have hit peak Chilwell and James already, then, with everything coming together (fixtures against two of the worst defences in the division, some perfect execution of low-percentage chances, successive starts) in the last few weeks.

The Blues’ superb defensive record means that a double-up on their backline remains a viable tactic now and going forward, but with 13 competitive matches to contest in the space of 42 days starting from Gameweek 12 and rotation likely to ramp up elsewhere in the division over Christmas, the slightly-more-secure Antonio Rudiger (£5.9m) might still be the sensible play alongside one of Chilwell or the feast-or-famine James.

CHELSEA STRIKERS STRUGGLING FOR GOALS

Kai Havertz (£8.1m) banked an assist for Jorginho‘s (£5.8m) second-half penalty but it was another game without a goal for not just the German but the nominated spearhead of Chelsea’s attack.

Multiple spurned opportunities from the likes of Tammy Abraham and Timo Werner (£8.6m) when playing in the role in the past suggests the personnel have to shoulder some of the blame but it’s also true that Tuchel’s system requires a bit of sacrificial work from whoever is leading the line, something the Chelsea boss alluded to in his post-match press conference when talking about James’s first goal:

“We were dangerous on the first post with Kai [Havertz], the middle of the goal with Ross [Barkley], and then the second post even with Ruben [Loftus-Cheek]. Then it’s possible to score on the far post.

“This is why sometimes our strikers are sacrificing to create space and chances for the others. It will always be like this.” – Thomas Tuchel

Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m) should return to fitness in Gameweek 12 but with the Blues perhaps yet to figure out a way to get the best out of their star striker, on top of what is discussed above, there likely won’t be a huge rush for his services.

TARGET NEWCASTLE

Mount illness latest as 1

The Magpies had actually kept Chelsea at bay until midway through the second half before the inevitable happened.

Interim manager Graeme Jones has seemingly gone back to basics and targeted a more defence-first approach, turning to a 5-3-2 and citing the need for clean sheets as a start point.

For 65 minutes we were competitive. That was the game plan. We had a little bit of momentum in their half when the ball could have dropped our way.

“I think it needs a fresh face. I think the fans were incredible today. It’s not a style of football the fans are accustomed to, we want to attack people, we want to score goals. But this is the stage we’re in.

“We haven’t kept enough clean sheets this season and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out what the need is at the minute.
” – Graeme Jones

Unless there is a change of manager before the weekend, Robert Sanchez (£4.6m) and co won’t have any sleepless nights ahead of the Gameweek 11 meeting at the Amex.


Newcastle XI: Darlow, Manquillo, Lascelles, Clark, Ritchie, Krafth, Hayden (Almiron 66), S.Longstaff (Shelvey 81), Fraser (Willock 66), Saint-Maximin, Wilson.

Chelsea XI:
 Mendy, Christensen, Thiago Silva, Rudiger, James, Kante (Loftus-Cheek 64), Jorginho, Chilwell, Ziyech (Barkley 64), Hudson-Odoi (Saul 88), Havertz.

    Would you do Vardy and Allan to Toney and Son after this GW?

    1. Michu stole my mojo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't be getting rid of Vardy. Any other way of getting Son in?

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Wait and see what happens with Spurs. They have the fixtures but I'm not too convinced a change in manager will fix everything immediately

  2. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    What would you look to do with this lot? Got 1FT and 0.2m in the bank. (don't really like having Gray on the bench so maybe move him to someone else, and upgrade elsewhere?

    Sanchez
    Trent - Rudiger - Cancelo - Chilwell
    Salah - Son - ESR
    Antonio - Toney - Vardy

    Steele - Gray - Livra - Sissoko

    1. talentoe
      • 6 Years

      Save FT

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

      Roll FT.

      If you replace Gray who do you bench? Antonio? Cancelo? It's not pretty.

      1. Kodap
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        No of course, but I meant.. Replace Gray with someone for the bench, similar to Sissoko.. good fodder who will get me 2/3 points if any of my main players don't play. As opposed to having a mid priced asset on my bench?

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          It's better to do this as a combined move, or with a spare FT when you have 2 FTs with no other moves. Roll your 1 FT and see what happens over the IB, then make the money-freeing move if there's nothing else to do

  3. Dogs Of War
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Harry Kane should never feel like a gamble, but at the moment it really is. Surely with the heat the team/manager got after Saturdays game they will rethink his role and play him as a no.9 again?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I don't think anything will change until Nuno goes, and even then I'm unsure how quickly he'll improve. Funny how much stick Mourinho got in his time there for his style but how much he got out of Kane at the same time (as he always does with strikers)

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Guess I should have looked one comment below, keep a close eye then!

      Yep Nuno is gone. Spurs official site confirmed.

      I'm definitely holding Kane now for the new manager bounce.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years

        High chance Ryan Mason takes charge for the next game. Can't see him putting a rocket under Sulky. With a strong manager, post-IB he might start playing football.

    Where does this leave Spurs?

    Who'd you fancy to replace him and how does this impact their FPL outlook, in particular Son and Kane, just as their fixtures start to turn?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Poch or Mourinho might be a good fit for them

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        They're currently looking at a couple more Portugeezers. Don't see any radical change happening.

    2. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Happy to have Son with these fixtures

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Whoever it is, please try 3-5-2. Just try it. That squad might be ready for it

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Reguilon would be nice option

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Doherty too

          Kane and Son up top. Drop the underperforming wingers and let wingbacks take that role. Ndombele as the CAM, with two CMs. Maybe Tanganga as the third CB

    4. The Rumour Mill
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Excellent news, the man was more of an energy vampire than Colin Robinson.

      The only decision that could be taken, it was an absolute disaster of an appointment in the first place. Conte would be an unbelievable appointment, but I don't think thats going to happen. If Spurs were unattractive to 6 managers in the summer, then theyre even more unattractive now!

      Son and Kane will improve now, whoever takes charge. Simply because they can't get any worse.

        Talk Sport saying Conte is the man to come in 😯

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

          Conte would be a great manager for Spurs but doubt he wants to come

        2. The Rumour Mill
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          I'd be surprised, he turned them down in the summer. Who knows though, maybe things have changed since then.

          1. maglia rosa
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Talk Sport saying Conte on the way to London to finalise deal 😆 Christ alive 😯

          2. liner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            I think he turn them because of Kane situation. Now Kane is there so he just come and work with that for a season. After that he can chose what is best for a team

    5. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Can't see the Conte rumours substantiating, he didn’t want to go there in the first place as he didn't believe the team could compete for trophies, sure doubt that's changed since the season began

      1. LE CHARO
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        What has changed is that the season has started and Spurs have already collapsed, so whatever happens next, Conte won't be held responsible for Spurs not being able to compete for trophies this season. It won't be his failure. If he takes the job now, he will have plenty of time to implement his philosophy and, provided they don't finish in a disastrous position in the league, there will be no real expectation and no pressure until next season.

    6. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Only Wayne Bennett will get the best out of the mouth breather and Son. Maybe Trent Robinson if they splash the cash.

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        haha they waited too long, Bennett already snapped up.
        Robbo is too loyal to Uncle Nick to leave - big roosters fan here 🙂

        1. The Knights Template
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Me too. No way Spurs could compete with City Ford's coffers!

    7. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Conte would be ideal for them, but the players would hate his methods so unlikely.

      Will probably be Eddie Howe.

    8. Profligacy
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      And I just got rid of Son..

    9. Miniboss
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I think they need to come up with a way to motivate Kane before good things start happening. Saying this as a sad Son owner.

    10. Nanoelektronicar
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      If Konte rumors are true, it will be Doh and Reggie time for sure.

  6. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Really interesting to see who spurs get in

    New manager bounce could co inside with the lovely fixture run and the new manager will HAVE to score some goals even if it means being more open at the back

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Conte is short price favourite (in Aus), not sure why he'd choose to go there...besides being out of work
      He might hold out for United job end of the season

      Eddie Howe is due a shot at a bigger club

  7. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Now go on, my Son 🙂

  8. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Unless spurs bring in Bruce or Big Sam, Son/Kane locked in for GW12.

  9. Atimis

    Can I just log off until Friday?

    Done Raya to Ramsdale, keeping second FT.

      Yeh. I did my last transfer on Saturday evening (Duffy to Chilwell) and sat twiddling my thumbs for a week. Now I'm rolling until after the IB, so it's dead quiet in this house.

      1. Atimis

  11. Tasty Jerk
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Glad our Nuno talks broke down. Extensive/expensive coaching/backroom staff according to Parish, Spurs would of sacked off all their previous coaches/backroom staff - loads to replace now.

    Who do we think they go for? Brighton's manager? 🙂

  12. Philosopher's Stones

      No

  17. nolard

    They must have a replacement lined up

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years

      They do - Conte. But he doesn't want to come!

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Rightfully so. They won’t provide him with any funds to bring in the players he wants, so won’t partake in the shambles at Spurs.

        1. nolard
          • 9 Years

  18. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Funny as it may sound, I got KDB in WC8(with a faint hope he somehow kicks up a gear) as a place holderfor Son in GW12.

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      not a bad move, he's just not the beast he used to be

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Seems like the case. Foden(with a decent fifth mid) might be the city mid to keep long term imo.

  19. Sterling Archer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    this would be good news as it lines up well with the fixture swing, but its still spurs.

    I have Kane, i will likely keep and pray!

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Definitely a case of don't buy, don't sell. Unless anything goes wrong I'll go into the IB with 2 fts and getting Kane in will be an easier move than Son, but I'll generally feel more confident in bringing Son in instead

  20. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Question now is, do I ditch Ronaldo for Son???

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      nah, he has watford soon

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years

      no

    3. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 12 Years

      Kane for direct transfer

  21. FPL_Crisis

    Interesting timing with Nuno leaving.
    Think it was very similar when Ole took over Mourinho.
    Interim manager, then international break heading into a good run of fixtures - LEE bur BRE NOR

    Conte favourite on bookies (AU Sportsbet) - I reckon someone like Eddie Howe could do well there

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Interesting as well last I checked sportsbet had OGS as shortest odds to be the first manager fired followed then by Nuno

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Conte would be a fair swap but can’t him succeeding there with Levy

    Ronaldo - Toney

    Steele - Livramento - Sarr - Broja

    1. Alonso The Great Midfielder

    Chilwell / Cancelo / TAA (Livra / White)
    Salah / ESR / Son / Mbeumo (Allan)
    Jimi / Antonio / Vardy

    Cancelo & Vardy have done nothing since I got them in, I also have an issue with who to bench

      • 3 Years

      very good team

        thanks but didn't do so well this week! miserable 42 points - hoping for Jimi hat trick tonight

      White over cancelo and thank me later

    Is taking Antonio out this week for Toney a daft move? Or should I look at getting a new goalie instead? Would like to save one free transfer for over the international break

    Current team for this week:
    Foster
    TAA / Chillwell / White
    Raphinha / Salah / Smith-Rowe / Foden
    Jimenez / Ronaldo / Antonio

    Bachmann / Livramento / Semedo / Bissouma

    2FTs, 0.6ITB

    1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      yes
      foster and semedo is priority

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Foster will be staying, would be Bachman to move on I think.

        Agree Semedo needs to go, if i was to move him on would go Henry I think

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          I'd suggest just Bach to Guaita/McCarthy now, then make your Semedo move when you have someone you're sure you want to start over Livra

          Also, Livra over White

            yeah fair enough, thanks for the feedback - appreciate it

    1ft, nish in bank. Am I GTG?

    Ramsdale

    TAA - James - Rudiger - Cancelo

    Raphinha - Salah - Son

    Vardy - Antonio - Watkins

    (Foster - Liv - D Luiz - Brownhill)

    1. The Mantis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      nothing wrong with that except Watkins really, even though he does get his returns - not sure on Villa and their consistency. Fixtures look fairly good for them though so fine to hold I guess.

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, he's performing better then toney atm and has good fixtures so i'm happy to hold

    How much combined compensation have Spurs had to pay to Poch, Mourinho & now Nuno?

    All sacked in the last 23 months

    1. Sterling Archer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      sure Nuno had some clause in his contract so they dont have to pay much

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe I’m wrong but the Mourinho sacking was so weird. They won some games around that time and still had a decent shot at the top 4 with their remaining fixtures. Only Spurs would sack a serial winner a few days before a cup final (which I know was because of the bonus Levy would have had to pay Mourinho if they won it).

      A ridiculous decision and then bringing in Nuno, who is far worse than Mourinho.

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yep, seems like Levy actually feared the possibility of them winning a trophy then because it'd probably mean a bigger payout. Incredible decision

    Ramsdale / Foster
    TAA / Azpi / Cancelo / Semedo / Duffy
    Salah / Raphi / Zaha / Saka / D.Luiz
    Kane / Antonio / Toney

    2 FT, 0.9 ITB

    No idea really, get James/Chiwill for Azpi?
    Semedo > James?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      move semedo before azpi.

    2. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      semedo to james then keep your other FT

    Crazy how it's the forgotten/must-sell/out-of-form strikers who've gotten returns so far this GW. A dose of reality for the template. Not necessarily a bad thing, by the way. Roll on GW11! 🙂

    Oh. Hwang on...
