The final match of Gameweek 13 sees Chelsea play host to Arsenal.

Kick-off at Stamford Bridge is at 16:30 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

Mikel Arteta makes two changes from Gameweek 12, both of which are enforced thanks to injuries sustained by William Saliba and Leandro Trossard.

Cristhian Mosquera and Gabriel Martinelli get promotions to the starting XI.

Enzo Maresca makes just one alteration from midweek, as Joao Pedro comes in for Alejandro Garnacho.

Estevao retains his place on the wing, while Cole Palmer returns on the bench.

      64% Rank Rise from Freehit so easily a huge success.

            Thanks. NOw need to plan for BB and TC

              Noted that question went unanswered

          Is Mbeumo fit or injured?

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 6 Years

            Not injured

            Suffering from chronic stress due to playing under Ruben Amorim

            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Probably just taking it easy before afcon, doesnt want to get injured like Sarr did

        3. Il Capitano
          • 5 Years
          4 days, 10 hours ago

          1FT 0.4m ITB

          Raya
          VVD O'Reilly Senesi*
          Saka Bruno Semenyo Sarr*
          Haaland Mateta Thiago

          Dub - Andersen King Alderete

          Looks like both Senesi & Sarr need to go and don't have much dosh to play with, Palace defender and Minteh/Bruno G/Barnes the best replacements in their price range?

        4. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          4 days, 10 hours ago

          Sarr replacement seems tougher than I expected, thoughts on the options?

          1. Rice
          2. Barnes
          3. Neto
          4. Minteh

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            4 days, 10 hours ago

            Foden too expensive?

            1. Atimis
              • 9 Years
              4 days, 9 hours ago

              Yeah, unless I sell Pope

          2. Brosstan

            5. Dango

            1. Atimis
              • 9 Years
              4 days, 9 hours ago

              Dango on my list but for GW16

          3. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Out of those I think it's Rice. He seems the optimal 3rd ars

          4. g40steve
            • 7 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Barnes is reaching good form

        5. #1 Salah Hater
          • 1 Year
          4 days, 10 hours ago

          Presumably it'll be Andrey Santos for a few games in Caicedo's absence.

          I thought he was outstanding vs Burnley. 17 DefCon & 4.5m.

        6. Downtown
          • 15 Years
          4 days, 10 hours ago

          How nailed on is Foden for this week?

        7. Bluetiger1
          • 3 Years
          4 days, 10 hours ago

          Caicedo Red card does he miss Leeds United away not showing on Fantasy Premier league status for player?

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Yes he does

            1. Bluetiger1
              • 3 Years
              4 days, 9 hours ago

              thanks Brosstan

          We beat Everton on Monday like we should have and we’re on same points as 3rd place. Is this the worst state the league’s been in since the Leicester year?

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Leicester were actually good though

            1. x.jim.x
              • 11 Years
              4 days, 9 hours ago

              Arsenal are on course for 87 points, Leicester only managed 81

              1. Brosstan
                • 11 Years
                4 days, 9 hours ago

                Different aura (in lack of any real arguments)

                1. x.jim.x
                  • 11 Years
                  4 days, 9 hours ago

                  Oh yeah completely agree. Will always respect Mahrez and Vardy turning world class every week over Arteta’s terroristball

          2. Haa-lala-land
            • 5 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            I think last year was pretty bad, I seem to recall at times

            Leicester shook the World, take nothing away from them!

        9. Flynny
          • 10 Years
          4 days, 9 hours ago

          Hi. Would you make this move? Needs to be done tonight before price rises...thanks

          senesi and sarr to Timber and foden - 4

          Guess there is a chance timber rotated - but feels a solid long term pick....thanks

          Raya
          Vvd Burn Richards (rodon senesi)
          Bruno semenyo enzo sarr (stach)

          • 10 Years
          4 days, 9 hours ago

          Quick turnaround folks.

          Senesi & Sarr to O'Reilly & Minteh for -4?

          Be playing 1 of Anderson, Mukiele, Xhaka if I don't..

          1. Flynny
            • 10 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Go for it

          2. Fifa las vegas
            • 13 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            People saying O’Reilly may get a rest next game? I hope not though

        11. Khalico
          • 10 Years
          4 days, 9 hours ago

          2FTs, any changes required to this team?

          Raya
          VVD, Guehi, Chalobah
          Semenyo, Minteh, Gakpo, Saka, Mbeumo Haaland, Mateta

          Dubravka, Thiago, Senesi, Rodon

          1. BrockLanders
            • 10 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Looks fine to me. Nice team

        12. One for All
          • 7 Years
          4 days, 9 hours ago

          Pick 1:

          A) Mbeumo
          B) Bruno Fernandes

          Thanks

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Bruno especially with afcon

          2. Dosh
            • 11 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            B

        13. panda07
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 days, 9 hours ago

          Who to start?

          A) Mukiele
          B) Estéve

          1. Haa-lala-land
            • 5 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            A

        14. MOZIL
          • 9 Years
          4 days, 9 hours ago

          Will Merino start next game? or reckon Gyokerez will be back starting?

          1. Haa-lala-land
            • 5 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Jesus was on the bench too

            1. MOZIL
              • 9 Years
              4 days, 9 hours ago

              dont think he will get a start

        15. Dosh
          • 11 Years
          4 days, 9 hours ago

          Which Arsenal defender will surely start the next game?

          1. MOZIL
            • 9 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Timber

            1. Pompel
              • 11 Years
              4 days, 9 hours ago

              I noted some disagree due to him looking lnaxkered toda, with Ben White an option

          2. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Calafiori

            1. Dosh
              • 11 Years
              4 days, 9 hours ago

              Lewis Skelly could get a game here

          3. #1 Salah Hater
            • 1 Year
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Ben White

          4. Bluetiger1
            • 3 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Gabriel & now Saliba out unsure.

            Timber only certain player

        16. ryacoo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 days, 9 hours ago

          Does James start or bench vs Leeds now?

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 6 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Leaning towards a benching - 3rd game in 8 days and played with 10 players for all of the 2nd half

            1. ryacoo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              4 days, 9 hours ago

              Between him and Truffert (EVE), who would you start mate?

          2. mixology
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Has to be a decent chance of a benching

          3. Bluetiger1
            • 3 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            I would bench as trying to manage his time

            1. ryacoo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              4 days, 9 hours ago

              Yeah, thinking same. It's just that planned HT sub vs Burnley that gives me a bit of hope, and Caicedo's suspension

        17. MetallicaJack93
          • 2 Years
          4 days, 9 hours ago

          Prioritise Rice or Foden?

          It's either a. Rice/Minteh or b. Foden/KDH in for me - what do we think?

          1. MetallicaJack93
            • 2 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Likely play foden or rice this week and bb week after

          2. Fifa las vegas
            • 13 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            I prefer the look of a on the whole.

            But Foden might go on a streak now? I can’t decide if it’s a trap or not, got burned getting him twice last season.

        18. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          4 days, 9 hours ago

          Lol, when did Villa sneak up to 4th after their horror start? Shambles league this year

        19. CoracAld2831
          • 4 Years
          4 days, 9 hours ago

          53 pts. No FH or TC.

          Very pleased.

        20. FDMS All Starz
          • 10 Years
          4 days, 9 hours ago

          Thoughts on Fofana as a 4.4 way into the Chelsea defence? Looks good for def con too

        21. Fifa las vegas
          • 13 Years
          4 days, 9 hours ago

          I’m in a bit of a corner if Calafiori isn’t fit to start during the week with Senesi and his typos yellow. VdV against Newcastle will be the only option, otherwise take a hit.

        22. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          4 days, 9 hours ago

          One more haul and Bruno non owners will come crawling back

          1. Kepa Cleansheet
              4 days, 9 hours ago

              I have him and will keep him - I wish i had kept him on FH instead of salah

          2. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Verbruggen being massively slept on as the best GK pick? They seem to have steadied the ship and only 4.4

          3. Yes Ndidi
            • 6 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            From 410k to 175k; reckon that constitutes a successfully deployed FH, even if I did manage to dodge Mateta's goal.

            Couple of glaring issues to deal with going into GW14 though (1FT, 2.0ITB)

            Sanchez
            Munoz Timber VVD
            Ndiaye Semenyo Sarr Mbeumo
            Haaland Thiago Mateta

            Dub Reijnders Senesi Esteve

            Looking to WC16, so

            1. Yes Ndidi
              • 6 Years
              4 days, 9 hours ago

              ....looking at a one or two week punt. Senesi & Sarr ought to be the ones on the chopping block really, but who to get in.

              1. Yes Ndidi
                • 6 Years
                4 days, 9 hours ago

                There really needs to be an unpost feature! That's twice my stubby fingers have done that.

                Sarr > Foden
                y/n?

          4. Stevie B
            • 15 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Is 58 points a good FH result? I am not happy because I had no Gakpo and Foden.

            Thanks and good luck!

            1. Fifa las vegas
              • 13 Years
              4 days, 9 hours ago

              Great score having neither. I had Gakpo and Thiago and still only on 44 after bonus

            2. Yes Ndidi
              • 6 Years
              4 days, 9 hours ago

              60 with Foden no Gakpo here, so yes, nothing wrong with that score.

            3. mookie
              • 12 Years
              4 days, 9 hours ago

              The decision making process behind it it's what matters long term. There's a lot of variance in the outcome.

              On the bright side, you can say "I move", while most will have to say "we move".

            4. Tonyawesome69
              • 6 Years
              4 days, 9 hours ago

              You're comparing your FH team score with your non-FH team

          5. klopp it guys
            • 8 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Hard decision this week, who would u start

            A. Xhaka
            B. Esteve

            1. Haa-lala-land
              • 5 Years
              4 days, 9 hours ago

              A

            2. Tonyawesome69
              • 6 Years
              4 days, 9 hours ago

              Why is this a "hard decision"? Seems straightforward to me

              1. klopp it guys
                • 8 Years
                4 days, 9 hours ago

                Xhaka against Liverpool or esteve against Burnley, there both hard games

              2. Haa-lala-land
                • 5 Years
                4 days, 9 hours ago

                Burnley could get a 0-0 with Palace.
                Id still play Xhaka though, for his goal in their 2-1 win

          6. Totalfootball
            • 8 Years
            4 days, 9 hours ago

            Does Timber get rested midweek ?

            1. Brosstan
              • 11 Years
              4 days, 9 hours ago

              Seems strange to rest either of your first choice full backs when both CBs are out.

                There was a sight of him pulling up and signalling to the bench at the end of the game i think

              D if you have the option to bench

            Hi all,

            What happened to Sarr?
            Sorry if it's been mentioned before.
