The FPL eye test: The stand-out Chelsea options for Double Gameweek 34

Stevie of EyeTestFPL casts the spotlight on more Fantasy Premier League (FPL) options that have caught his eye, using ‘eye test’ screenshots and information from our Premium Members Area.


With double-headers in Gameweek 34 and Gameweek 36, Chelsea probably have the best FPL players to target right now.

After being ousted by Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, there is perhaps slightly less rotation risk for their assets as well. Outside of the league, where they are ‘almost’ guaranteed a place in one of the Champions League qualification spots, Chelsea now only have the FA Cup final against Liverpool to contend with.

WERNER SPEARHEADS ATTACK

There was once a period when Romelu Lukaku (£11.4m) was highly coveted playing in the centre-forward position, but now we might have got a better deal with the less costly Timo Werner (£8.6m) cementing his place as the spearhead of Chelsea’s three-pronged attack.

There is arguably no-one better in the Chelsea ranks who can perceive space and make runs in behind than the German striker.

Though Kai Havertz (£7.9m) can do a similar job, Werner’s pace probably makes the role more suitable for him, which is also another reason why I think he is currently first choice. Consequently, Werner taking up the central position might slightly dampen Havertz’s potential, which we will touch upon shortly.

Even though Southampton constantly giving up spaces in crucial areas played into Werner’s hands, the advantage of owning a Chelsea striker was underlined with his five big chances recorded in Gameweek 32.

However, this does not mean Werner had everything served on his plate every time. He had to sometimes carve out his own chances as he went on a mazy run inside the box before eventually pulling the trigger.

Despite the goal initially coming from a woeful back pass, some credit ought to go to the German striker for actually being there to pounce on the error in the first place, holding off Jan Bednarek’s (£4.4m) challenge before rounding the goalkeeper was no small feat either.

Who are the best Chelsea players for FPL Double Gameweek 34

Werner then continued his brilliant form in the FA Cup against Crystal Palace with an assist on top of serving up another big chance on a plate for Lukaku late in the game.

Aside from diligent all-round movement that can create spaces for other attackers, Werner has now added the previously missing end-product to his game which surely has not gone unnoticed in Thomas Tuchel’s eyes.

    "If I may pick out a specific weak link, it would probably be their tendencies to give up space all over the pitch." - lol

    A. Digne, Raphinha & Kane -> Cancelo, Mount & Werner

    B. Digne, Raphinha & Weghorst -> Alonso, Mount, 4.5m striker

    Both are -4s..

    Which one looks best?

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      The one with Cancelo in my opinion, nailed to play against Watford as he is missing 1st CL game.

  4. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Mount best captain next week?

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Seems so going by the poll

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going Salah

  5. 03farmboy
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Free hit or wildcard this week??

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

      1. el polako

  6. keefy59

    Slightly off topic but just talking to a mate of mine
    How about Lukaku to Everton on loan next season
    With Werner now getting back to his potential
    Your thoughts please

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      If there is one formation at Everton which don't require major overhaul its forwards, he could go to Hammers though as a Antonio back up.

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        He could rotate around DCL & Richarlison injuries & suspensions !
        Mina back in defence will also help
        Should mentioned no cheeky comments about him playing in the Championship please !

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Would say he'd have a good chance of breaking Mitro's record

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Not for me

      Lukaku in the right system is an absolute beast as proven during his time at inter and in the euros somewhat

      He can go to a big club but needs to be a team which plays to his strengths.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        The problem these days is there are not many top teams in the top leagues which can accommodate a lukaku

        Although I’d be interested to know how good fit atletico madrid might be

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          You have to put in work there.

    4. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Or back to West Brom maybe

    5. NorCal Villan
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I bet he ends up back in Italy

  7. dshv
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Till the end of the season with bb36??

    1. Laporte and Cash
    2. Robertson and Davies

    (Trent Cancelo Rudiger)

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      1

  8. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Salah and TAA let's go!

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Their points don't mean much unless you've captained this week.

      1. L S P
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        that's the spirit

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        That's not true. Plenty have none of them on a FH. Myself included.

    2. acidicleo
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Lot of FH ers like me hiding under the sofa.

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        You should

      2. djman102
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Yep. The success or failure of the FH rides almost entirely on this match.

  9. JELLYFISH
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Bowen & Cucho > Mount and Gelhardt for -4 worth doing?

    I’ve got a narrow lead in my ML so need to be careful about hits, but at the same time zero Chelsea cover is a concern.

    1. L S P
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Probably ok. I hate taking hits for fodder tho.

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Yep agree. Over the 2 GW34 games I fancy Mount to make up the -4 though, and it gets me some Chelsea cover for the remaining gw’s.

  10. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Lacca, Digne, Doherty -> Werner, James, Rudiger (-8)?

    Gives me

    Pope
    TAA Robbo Rudiger James
    Salah Son Saka Kulu
    Werner Toney

    Foster Ramsey Ait Nouri Cucho

    1. JELLYFISH
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I like it, but you’re a bit exposed with your bench with Ait Nouri and Cucho.

  11. 03farmboy
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    What do people think of this wildcard team?
    Guaita, Foster
    Taa, James, rudgier, cancelo, Laporte
    Salah, mount, son, Maddison, coutinho
    Pukki, Gelhardt, dobbin

    1. L S P
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Assuming you do not have a BB so it's ok.

      I personally would want more out of my last two on the bench than Gelhardt and Dobbin as you have a number of players who could be rotated.

      1. 03farmboy
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        No I just have free hit and wildcard
        Maybe should lose one of the defenders

        1. L S P
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          that's what i would do. Laporte.

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty good other than Maddison.
      Can't be sure he'll ever play - and if he does Leicester are still pretty crap.
      Think there are too many good options in midfield to waste one on him.
      Would like a Foden or Jota.

  12. Grande Tubarão
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years

    Come on Utd!!!

    1. JabbaWookiee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      City fan here echoing your comments for once! Sadly I can’t see anything other than a home win.

      1. Grande Tubarão
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        They’re big favourites but they do tend to get in their own head when playing us. Fingers crossed

  13. JabbaWookiee
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Which of these would you downgrade to get to more Chelsea assets?

    A) Salah
    B) Robertson
    C) Kane
    D) Son
    E) Cancelo

    1. JabbaWookiee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      F) None - just go with Rudiger

  14. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Sancho is on the bench tonight, for anyone interested.

    https://twitter.com/OddsOnFPL/status/1516455506763730951?t=Gw9mmvzUf2PXArjgcYmVhw&s=19

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I expected this but still don’t feel it’s a good decision

    2. JELLYFISH
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Interested to see if Elanga starts. Tempted to bring him in.

      1. Grande Tubarão
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I think he pretty much has to given that we know both Ronaldo and Sancho aren’t starting now

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I imagine he does. Nobody else is taking up that RW spot.

    3. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Both owners will be devastated.

    4. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      at least he isn't my captain.
      such a disaster of a player to have gotten a few weeks back.

  15. boombaba
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Christensen or Chalobah

    Only got 4.8m to replace Doherty…

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Neither? Chalobah hasn't started for a while. Christensen has started more recently, but Azpi, Reece -and- Chalobah can play RCB.

      1. boombaba
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        True but any other suggestions for 4.8m

    2. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Agree with Hazz.

      I’d go dirt cheap and just make it a spot you’re not going to use if possible.

  16. LC1
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Afternoon all,

    Praying for a Bruno haul tonight!

    Any early suggestions for my FT for next GW;

    Sa
    TAA Rudiger* Cancelo
    Son Bruno* Raphinha Maddison
    Jimenez Broja Wood

    Forster Saka White Ait Nouri

    1 FT and 2.2 ITB.

    I am saving my last FH chip for GW37 so building up for a decent DGW36.

    Can't think of which mid to take of for Chelsea?

    Thanks!

  17. Grande Tubarão
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Really need Doherty to go up in price so I can afford him -> James

    1. theplayer
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Why would that happen when he's injured

      1. Grande Tubarão
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, I’m not counting on it

    2. JELLYFISH
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      No chance of that happening I’m afraid

      1. Grande Tubarão
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        🙁

    3. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I think there's more chance of a person falling out of a plane and landing on you

      1. Grande Tubarão
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I hope it’s Nicole Sherzinger

  18. Sterling Malory
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Worth losing TAA for James?

    Could do TAA & Barnes > James & Havertz

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Actually, that could work. Just saw Barnes there.

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

      I’d hate to lose TAA

  19. boombaba
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Saka Doherty and Maddison to Martinelli James and Mount -4?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      1. boombaba
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Martinelli, Gordon or Ramsey…

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Martinelli

        2. Stimps
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          I'd go Gordon

  20. mdm
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Any changes to this FH team:

    Ederson
    James Cancelo Telles
    Mount Havertz Bruno Mahrez Jota
    CR7 Pukki

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Do you want a United defender with those fixtures?

      1. mdm
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Who else would you get in this price range? Nailed, has double, attacking.. Expecting 4-7 p

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez may well be benched home to Watford ahead of Real Madrid.

      I think the Manchester City picks requires some thought.

      A little like Lookman over Maddison so far for the Leicester City double this week. Of course that could change away at Everton tomorrow.

    3. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, about 6

  21. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    If you had to lose one of these, who would it be?

    A. Maddison
    B. Saka

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      A. Better form but might get saved a lot for Europe.

    2. L S P
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      B but important to see how Arsenal responds. Unfortunately, it's against Chelsea.

    3. mdm
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      B

  22. jimmyharte
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Why is tubby tuchel suddenly never playing Chaloboah anymore?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Seems to pick him in easier games.

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Because Alonso is getting better and he's playing James and Azpi on the right hand side. Rudiger is unmovable so there's 1 spot left for Tiago Silva, Christensen, Chalobah and Sarr.

  23. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Pick one:

    A) James + Gelhardt
    B) Alonso + J. Pedro

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      A

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Need a playing striker for BB36

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Do you need your bench? My front line atm is Pukki, Gelhardt and Greenwood. Hoping my 5th defender is the only sub I need.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Yes I do. For BB in 36. Both Leeds and Watford have doubles but Pedro will get more minutes.

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Pedro in that case

    3. mdm
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      A

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        BB still left. Still Gelhardt?

    4. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      B Gelhardt is a 1 min sub player

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        But honestly, not that much difference.. how many points J.Pedro is going to pick up really

  24. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Some interesting match ups on WC..

    Laporte + Jota vs Robertson + Foden
    KDB + Jota vs Salah + Foden

    Problem is I really don't rate Foden and left option keeps a bit of cash too

  25. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Gonna be choosing one or two from:

    A. Dennis
    B. Watkins
    C. Richa
    D. Pukki
    E. Mateta

    How would you rate these as options?

    Recon Daka/Nacho could be on the list but rotation is crazy so probably not worth it.

    1. mdm
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      BCEDA

    2. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Guess it depends on whether you have BB and form

      Pukki looks ok at the minute

  26. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this WC draft? Much appreciated.

    Schmeichel (Foster)
    Cancelo TAA James Matip (Amartey)
    Son Mount Salah Zaha (Kulusevski)
    Pukki Werner (Rodriguez)

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      BB36

    2. Zogzeg
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Why Mount rather than Havertz (I'm undecided)?

      1. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Blame the article! 😀

        1. Zogzeg
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough, thanks!

  27. Now I'm Panicking
    • 9 Years

    Phil Jones starting?!

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Yes.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
