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

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.

    What to do with this horror show?

    Pope, Dubravka
    Senesi, Guehi, van Dijk, Rondon, Alterete
    Saka, Rice, Sarr, Semenyo, Enzo
    Haaland, Mateta, Woltemade

    One free transfer and 1.2 in the bank.

    Thank you and good luck!

      Pope Senesi Sarr right? Replace Senesi and you will have already playable team.

    Anyone know why Calafiori was subbed off at half time?? YC effect or injury?

      See Tonya post just below

    Arteta: "After the sending off of Caicedo, we wanted to settle the game. We didn’t manage to do that. We had four yellow cards. Obviously those players were constantly targeted to try and even the game in terms of numbers. At half-time, we said ‘OK, let’s pause it now.'"

      Mate, you're a legend. Does he mean Calafiori? No injury there then?

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 6 Years
        4 days, 10 hours ago

        No direct mention of Calafiori in the post match presser.

      Thanks I was debating getting him but with Lewis Skelly always seeing to be getting minutes (and doing well when he does!) I am not sure how nailed on he is

    3. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      4 days, 10 hours ago

      I feel robbed of 2 defcon pts

  4. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 days, 11 hours ago

    Raya
    Thiaw Virgil Munoz
    Bruno Semenyo Enzo Ndiaye
    Haaland Mateta Woltemade

    Dubravka Andersen Gudmundsson Stach"

    GTG?

  5. Qaiss
    • 9 Years
    4 days, 11 hours ago

    How are we feeling non free-hitters?

    53 points for me. Will take it considering how yesterday went but that Gakpo goal was really annoying

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      4 days, 11 hours ago

      49 and a green so happy

    2. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      4 days, 11 hours ago

      58 but with a wasted TC

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

        Just unlucky that

      2. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        4 days, 11 hours ago

        Yea the wasted TC stings a bit

    3. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      4 days, 11 hours ago

      One in three managers played some sort of chip this week yet the average score is only about 39. Amazed to get a green arrow for a change (no chip)

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 5 Years
        4 days, 10 hours ago

        Actually the overall average is only 35 after hits, but 39 in the top 10k

    4. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 days, 11 hours ago

      44 points here, minor red arrow of about 2k. Will take it given it could have been a disaster had Haaland hauled

    5. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      4 days, 11 hours ago

      50 points and 160k green. Happily take it though Gakpo goal annoyed me big time but Chagoalah somewhat rescued me from a total disaster.

    6. Captain Mal
      • 1 Year
      4 days, 11 hours ago

      65. Would have matched or beat most of them without that Gakpo goal.
      Still, has to be viewed as a big success for them (2nd time in a row for the template FH after GW34 last season).

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

        65 without using it is huge,

        1. Captain Mal
          • 1 Year
          4 days, 10 hours ago

          Yup, got lucky. Bruno/Foden/Thiago did the business.

    7. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      4 days, 11 hours ago

      44, not thrilled, but not a disaster

    8. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      4 days, 10 hours ago

      Terrible.
      32 with TC Haaland fail

    9. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      4 days, 10 hours ago

      53 as well.

      Probably lose to FH-ers by around 22 points (Foden + Martinez), hoping to claw this back in later GW

  6. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    4 days, 11 hours ago

    Hey fam! What would you do here with 1 FT and 0.6 ITB?

    Dubravka
    Cucurella Munoz VVD
    Saka Mbeumo Semenyo Szobo
    Haaland JP Mateta

    John Gudmundsson Hartman King

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

      Think I’d roll there, nothing major required

  7. Punned It
      4 days, 11 hours ago

      How did MGW look today? Fit again? Fancy him v. Wolves (and not too shabby a run the next few weeks).

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

        Should have scored one

        1. Punned It
            4 days, 10 hours ago

            Nice, cheers!

        2. Captain Mal
          • 1 Year
          4 days, 10 hours ago

          Heavily involved, missed a big chance. He was subbed off, so I'd wait for the pressers just in case. Nowhere near a price rise anyway.

          1. Punned It
              4 days, 10 hours ago

              Cheers. I know, but Tuesday'll come sneaking up on me!

              1. Captain Mal
                • 1 Year
                4 days, 10 hours ago

                Actually, a quick Google gave me this :

                Morgan Gibbs-White was back in the starting line-up against the Seagulls but looked uncomfortable when he made way with five minutes to go.
                “I think he will be alright. It is too early yet but I think he will be alright,” Dyche said after the full-time whistle.

                1. Punned It
                    4 days, 10 hours ago

                    Oh, thanks a bunch! Will holster those transfer guns, then.

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

            Is Pope a sell now? Otherwise playing Dubravka…

          3. fedolefan
            • 11 Years
            4 days, 11 hours ago

            Only 100 pts off top 1k after a sh*t week. LFG!

            1. Yes Ndidi
              • 6 Years
              4 days, 10 hours ago

              That looked quite impressive at first glance. Still isn't too shoddy mind

          4. Bigbars
            • 14 Years
            4 days, 11 hours ago

            How did Bruno F get 3 BP?? 2x fortuitous assists and an air clearance.. I don't recall much influence on the game

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

              They give them to him whatever he does, got 3 baps earlier in season with no returns

              1. Bigbars
                • 14 Years
                4 days, 10 hours ago

                I own him but still odd, surprised they didnt add a mystery DC too

            2. Haa-lala-land
              • 5 Years
              4 days, 10 hours ago

              Mbeumo owner spotted

            Virgil, Enzo -> O'Reilly, Foden -4

            Sounds fun

            Tuesday deadline. GWs coming thick and fast.

            I'm doing dreadfully this season and yet my team looks great on paper. Anything worth doing this week? Can't do Senesi > O'Reilly. That would've been clean but 0.1m short.

            Petrovic
            VvD Calafiori Richards
            Fernandes Saka Foden Minteh Semenyo
            Haaland Mateta
            (Dub Senesi Rodon Guiu)

            0.1m ITB. 2 FTs.

              Keeper in future

              Senesi to Chalobah

                • 13 Years
                4 days, 10 hours ago

                Who knows anymore. I’ll stick to the usual for another week.

              2. Punned It
                  4 days, 10 hours ago

                  Giving Mateta a gamble, Mbuemo VC. Might go to shits.

                  Doesn’t matter, will go very badly

                    • 13 Years
                    4 days, 10 hours ago

                  Really need to see your team, and what it'll look like by then, to know for sure

                    4 days, 10 hours ago

                    I think I'll be playing mine GW19.

                  Which Newcastle defender is best to replace Senesi?

                    • 6 Years
                    4 days, 10 hours ago

                    Thiaw must be undroppable now

                  2. Punned It
                      4 days, 10 hours ago

                      Thiaw is the man of the hour, and has in all fairness been looking good lately.

                      Wow I just realised I came 65th place on fpl challenge, way to brighten up a dull week!
                      First time I ever came top 100 in anything.

                      Team was:
                      Roefs
                      Nunes
                      Anderson C, Bruno, Szobo
                      Thiago

                      92 pts ( more than twice my regular team lol)

                        I think Minteh.

                      Worth a hit?

                      Gabriel, Caicedo -> Rice, O'Reilly

                      Sensi and Sarr -> Munoz and Minteh for - 4

                      I already have three Palace players (Guehi, Sarr and Mateta)

                      Thank you and good luck!

                      Useless Mbeumo better show up with some points. Turning out to be another Sarr.

                      Welbeck or Minteh a priority?

                      Welbeck has pens.

                      Got exact money before tonight to do Sarr and Fernandez to Foden and Gapko. Would you do it?

                      Bruno got some nice fixtures coming up but Sarr might be out and won’t be able to afford it if Foden goes up tonight

                        Flip of a coin. Could pay off nicely with those two incoming

                      Thinking of Senesi to Shaw, too punty?

                        I like an outside the box punt, but this may be a step too far.
                        Any reasoning?

                      Both Timber and Munoz look like rising tonight, but I think it's worth holding transfers late to have mire inormation on who's likely to start midweek

                        Timber should be a priority transfer out.
                        I sold him and Califiori pre Sunderland

                          Why a transfer out ?

                          Still a buy, surely?

                            I know how good Arsenal defence was for that great run, but nothing lasts forever, and that run is done for now. Theres too much turmoil. By all means keep them for Brentford, but I expect them to concede to make it four league busts in a row

                            Totally agree, the notion he's a priority sell is hilarious.

                              Why because it differs to your view?
