Chelsea v Man Utd team news: Alonso starts as Mount, Havertz and Ronaldo benched

In the final match of Gameweek 13, Chelsea take on Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, with Fantasy interest mostly centred around the hosts backline.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

Chelsea, who have conceded just four goals in 12 league matches this season, make four changes from Gameweek 12, with Marcos Alonso (£5.6m), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.4m), Hakim Ziyech (£7.3m) and Timo Werner (£8.6m) replacing Ben Chilwell (£5.9m), N’Golo Kante (£4.9m), Mason Mount (£7.5m) and Kai Havertz (£8.0m).

That means another start for Reece James (£6.2m), who has four goals and four assists from nine Premier League appearances this term, plus Trevor Chalobah (£4.8m). As a result, Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.8m) is once again a substitute, along with Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m) who is back from injury.

The headline news for Man Utd, who will have Michael Carrick in the dugout, is that Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.4m) drops to the bench with Bruno Fernandes (£11.6m), Jadon Sancho (£8.9m) and Marcus Rashford (£9.4m) preferred in the attacking roles.

GAMEWEEK 13 LINE-UPS

Chelsea XI: Mendy, Chalobah, Thiago Silva, Rudiger, James, Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Alonso, Ziyech, Hudson-Odoi, Werner

Subs: Arrizabalaga, Christensen, Lukaku, Pulisic, Saul, Barkley, Mount, Azpilicueta, Havertz

Man Utd XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Bailly, Telles, Fred, Matic, McTominay, Fernandes, Sancho, Rashford

Subs: Henderson, Jones, Ronaldo, Mata, Martial, Greenwood, Lingard, Dalot, Van de Beek

      Perfect game with no Chelsea defence. Makes up for the City wipe earlier

        Yes, points for no one

        You have no Chelsea defenders?

        I have three Chelsea defenders. What would you like to tell me, or was this a soliloquy?

      Tomiyasu and Coady owners are the real winners this week

      Alonso is more attacking than James. Literally playing as left striker

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

        And on corners...

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

        Took his corners too and more likely to play midweek...

      3. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        11 corners if nothingness

      4. Sun Jihai

        Looks essential.

      Semedo -80% may drop. Do semedo > Alonso? Have exact funds.

      6 GWs to dodge a YC or a ban for Bruno.

      14 minutes left, regrets are best covered end of the game. James and Alonso can still get hauls.

        2. Plant Based FPLer
          • 7 Years

          Great challenge that

      9. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Chilwell to Alonso it is.

      10. George James
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Rank in order of preference next game week

        A) Brandon Williams

        B) Toney

        C) Livramento

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

      11. Shultan
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        alonso off- likely to start midweek
        rest for James?

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

          Absolutely

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

          Probably.

          Alonso & Pulisic as the wing backs?

        3. DARE TO BISCAN
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          If my guess means something to you. I guess: yes

      12. Not again Shirley
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Mason Mount an option? Watford midweek and will most likely start.

        Suppose his issue is the amount of midfield competition at CHE

      13. DycheDycheBaby
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Alonso rested and can prepare for his haul against Watford 😉

      14. All Hail K
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Ziyech and Werner still on the pitch. Why does Tuchel insist on playing with 9 men?

      15. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        My transfers this week were Chilwell, Townsend & Antonio > Trent, Gundogan & Toney -8

        Who says big hits don’t pay off

        1. Scholes Out For Summer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          I did Chilwell, Havertz, Omo, Foden --> Cancelo, Bernardo, Alonso, Jota

          Was so close to doing Gundo instead of Bernardo 🙁

          1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Was looking at Jota too, still might get

          How did you not own TAA?!??

          Should have had Trent in the first place. The other two, well played!

          Some of the time it is best to stick, other times best to twist. More often than not, speaking from a wealth of FPL experience, sticking accumulates more points.
