Double Gameweek 19 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) finally reaches its conclusion tonight, with Fulham v Chelsea getting underway at 20:00 GMT.

The hosts have won all four of their matches since the World Cup, while Graham Potter’s side currently sit 10th in the table, after a run of just one win in eight Premier League games.

As for the all-important team news, Chelsea hand a debut to new signing Joao Felix after he joined on loan from Atletico Madrid. The Portuguese, priced up as a £7.5m forward by FPL towers, lines up alongside Mason Mount and Kai Havertz in attack.

“It’s a combination of a lot of things: his training, the quality he has and the team needs a little bit of lift in terms of the ability he has. He’s a confident boy and he just wants to play. He’s just got to be himself. He hasn’t had that much time with the players, just about expressing himself.” – Graham Potter on why Joao Felix is starting

Elsewhere, Lewis Hall starts in place of Marc Cucurella, who drops to the bench, having struggled against Man City last time out.

Marco Silva, meanwhile, makes just one change from the 1-0 win at Leicester, as Carlos Vinicius starts up front in place of the suspended Aleksandar Mitrovic.

“He [Mitrovic] will get some rest, but [Carlos] Vinicius will get as many moments as we can get him because he is one of our main options to start as a striker. It is a great chance for him but to also give Mitrovic a bit of a break. But he is still training well and these things are good signs for us. Hopefully he will be back playing his best for us in the next few games, but for now the main solution is Vinicius.” – Marco Silva

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Typical. He will probably get sent off.

    2. MIGHTY JOE

      Jesus

    3. DycheDycheBaby

      Yeah brilliant. Waste of my 1FT for this double GW.

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        But the lesson here is: are you making a similar transfer for DGW20?

        1. DycheDycheBaby
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 days ago

          Nope. Cancelo to Shaw. No brainer.

  2. FFSbet.com

    Felix looking very good,already 2 yellow cards on him.

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Does that count towards Balon Dor?

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Fantastic dribbler.

      But for FPL, I'm interested in how much he's in the box.

  3. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    60 minute watch again 😀

  4. sandman58
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Best short term forward from this game week on other than Kan & Haaland?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Toney

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        He still getting banned for betting?

        1. sandman58
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 days ago

          Have to rule him out on this

        2. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 days ago

          It’s for 1 week. If fit I think he looks a good shout

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Sure you can't get a 5th mid instead?

      I think Nketiah should get a big chance or two in the first half vs Spurs, based on how both teams have played for a while now. Easy long-term hold too (I prefer Mitro, but he's close)

      Agree with Pat on Toney, if fit and if it's truly 1 GW only, unless we've got more info about that looming ban

  5. KeanosMagic
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Play Botman or Cucu? Already playing trip

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Cucu is a defo SELL

  6. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    I really like the look of Felix, it's a shame he's playing for Chelsea...

    It might only be a 5 month fling but it'll be a fun one!

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Looks very lively

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        He's everything they haven't had up front for... ages!

  7. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Am I good to go?

    Ward
    Shaw* Doherty* Trippier
    KDB* Rashford(TC)* Martinelli Odegaard Mitoma
    Haaland* Kane*

    (Iversen Darwin* White Patterson) 0FT, 0.8M

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Brilliant squad, almost like a wildcard team!

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        Cool, thanks!

        1. The bean
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 days ago

          I'd be starting Darwin but that's just my opinion... great team tho..

  8. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    How’s that not a pen

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      VAR has a random generator in it

  9. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    What do you think of these moves for a -8

    Nunez salah cancelo to Kane KDB and ake/stones

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Thinking same, maybe not a city def, still don’t know who is most nailed!
      Was just gonna be salah to kdb, just keep cancelo for the double and hope.

      With Nunez maybe out, it all changes, also have Kulu!

      1. ZimZalabim
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        literally in the exact same position as you. These are the options ive come up with

        A. Darwin + Cancelo to Kane + Lewis -4
        B. Darwin + Kulu + Cancelo to Kane + Mahrez + Ake -8
        C. Darwin + Kulu + Cancelo to Martial + KDB + Ake -8
        D. Darwin + Salah + Cancelo to Kane + KDB + Ake -8

        Will wait till tomorrow and hear all the team news before I make a move really not sure which way to go. Leaning more towards Kane over Kdb but ideally want both, Kulu fitness is another concern. If hes fit to start I think Ill go for D and just get both and hope Salah doesnt go crazy vs Brighton.

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 days ago

          Quite like B if kulu still out

          1. ZimZalabim
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 5 days ago

            B and D are the ones I like the most, depends on Kulu fitness ofcourse.

        2. Gizzachance
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 days ago

          Bit of a minefield at the minute waiting on Kulu Nunez news
          Maybe Kulu can even get 1 game!
          Kulu to mahrez sounds decent
          Salah to kdb
          If want Kane then cancelo has to go
          Who would of thought we would think of taking cancelo out in a dgw!
          Not confident of city cs, think they’ve had 2 in last 8 maybe

          1. ZimZalabim
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 5 days ago

            seriously looking at selling Cancelo or kulu with doubles plus salah or darwin for hits seems quite wild, and yeah cancelo replacments are another issue I doubt they end up keeping a cs but ake has some goal threat so thats why I decided to go for him over the other city cbs.

            But yeah its a quite a chaotic spot to navigate.

      2. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        Cheers. Slim pickings on the defenders

        1. Gizzachance
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 days ago

          Botman or someone, few decent fixtures, decent price, obviously city have 2 dgw if you get the right one

    2. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      thinking abt doing the same

  10. Coupes
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    As a Chelsea fan, it’s nice to see someone actually shooting

  11. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Pereira is my C, but I want him to get a red card. What an irritating rat.

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Only gets me points when he’s on my bench!

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        Exactly

      2. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        Always first to the ref for every decision, just awful

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Be thankful, decision to move to Mitoma is getting easier

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 days ago

        Prefer March tbh but yeah

  12. Pino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Felix added to the game as a 7.5 mil striker

    1. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Mitro > Felix anybody?

  13. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Darwin to Felix? Same kinda thrill ride to watch and own him..Xgi off the charts

    1. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Im thing the same

  14. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Andreas looks like he was jealous of Mitro’s holiday and is trying to get sent off

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Watched him at hull city on Saturday and he was ominous, regret captaining

  15. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Thinking about Dan Ashworth and Potter. Could it be that Newcastle, not Chelsea, did the correct recruitment from Brighton?

    1. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      Dan burn also count, coz we got fraud cucu

  16. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Is Martial just a hold and hope? Any moves would be for a hit. Got 8.3m to replace him with.

  17. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    There's something poetic about Chelsea taking Cucurella from Potter and Brighton for a lot of money, then taking Potter from Brighton, and then having Potter drop Cucurella at Chelsea

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      hahaha poetic? more ironic mate

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      More tragic than anything

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 days ago

      It’s certainly hilarious

  18. mdm
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 days ago

    Which option (2FTs):

    A. Salah -> KDB
    B. Mitro -> Martial
    C. Both for free

    Thanks
