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

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

              Was going to say CPA defender but that’s not applicable. I suppose your proposal is fine.

        2. Kepa Cleansheet
            4 days, 12 hours ago

            Have exact funds for this

          • Dynamic Duos

            Yes

            1. Kepa Cleansheet
                4 days, 12 hours ago

                other option is to keep Senesi and replace Gudmundson for someone else because I may need some better cheap def to cover the festive period and for bb

          • Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 11 Years
            4 days, 12 hours ago

            Pretty sure my regular team outscored my FH . Pretty fed up...

            1. LeytonOrient
              • 11 Years
              4 days, 12 hours ago

              At least you didn’t TC Haaland. Silver lining eh?

            Any fellow Pope owners? What are you doing with him?

            1. Tonyawesome69
              • 6 Years
              4 days, 12 hours ago

              In isolation, easy sell.

                • 9 Years
                4 days, 12 hours ago

                He would be really good with these fixtures tho I’m afraid he won’t make it this/next week

            2. Buck The Trent
              • 14 Years
              4 days, 12 hours ago

              Thinking to get Sanchez to release 0.4 cash

            3. Assisting the assister
              • 9 Years
              4 days, 11 hours ago

              Thinking Sanchez or Verbruggen but also have Senesi/Sarr and 1FT eek

            Evening folks 🙂

            Pope*
            VVD Richards Senesi*
            Saka Mbeumo Semenyo Minteh Sarr*
            Haaland Mateta
            Dubravka / Thiago* Alderete Diouf

            Pope not likely to start midweek but I'm just going to let Dubravka sub on this week - if there's a chance he's fit again very soon, I'd rather keep him.

            Have 2 FT and need to make 2 FT this week as Senesi & Sarr are definitely out.

            A) Senesi & Sarr > Timber & Anderson
            B) Senesi & Sarr > Munoz & Anderson
            C) Senesi & Sarr > Lacroix & Anderson
            D) Senesi & Sarr > [NEW DEF] & Anderson

            For D, which if Thiaw/Livramento/Burn? (D is tempting as Tottenham are proper crap...)

            For scenarios without NEW defence, there will be money ITB which I'll use to upgrade Diouf > NEW defender next week.

            ... or anything else? Could keep Senesi too - but only BUR in GW17 looks worthwhile

            1. Yes Ndidi
              • 6 Years
              4 days, 12 hours ago

              As a huge Munoz fan, B, but the fixture congestion might be an issue

              If D, though, Burn is probably the safest route, Livra the most fun.

            2. Captain Mal
              • 1 Year
              4 days, 12 hours ago

              There's an argument to be made for all of them. Might be tempting to try and get ahead of the curve with Burn/Thiaw.
              Are we sure Timber starts midweek? Probably does taking into account Saliba/Gabriel are out, but it's something to keep in mind.
              Lacroix/Munoz have been great and have the best entry point, though Europe has taken a toll on them, they always look like conceding towards the end of the games.

            Raya
            Virgil, Richards, Senesi
            Bruno, Ndiaye, Semenyo, Sarr, Saka
            Mateta, Haaland (c)

            Dubravka, Andersen, Rodon, Guiu,

            2ft 0.7itb.

            Got the exact money to do Senesi and Sarr to Munoz and Minteh. Munoz rising tonight.

            Would you make these moves?

            A Yes
            B No

            1. Buck The Trent

            I owned Foden for bloody ages. Lost loads of value, no returns. The moment I get sick of him and get rid he returns and now every one wants him. This game drives me mad at times.

            1. Haa-lala-land
              • 5 Years
              4 days, 12 hours ago

              Agreed with this! Then last week i got Cherki despite being able to afford Foden, because I was still annoyed with him for all those 3 pointers

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

                I had Cherki on my FH and Salah. Did Foden to Saka the week before.

                1. Haa-lala-land
                  • 5 Years
                  4 days, 11 hours ago

                  Now Im about to use my one free to do Cherki to Foden. If Cherki outscores Foden against Fulham, then, well, fml

                    Ha, good luck.

            Caicedo banned for 3 games, right?

            1. Hazz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              4 days, 12 hours ago

              Yes

            2. Kepa Cleansheet
                4 days, 12 hours ago

                minimum

            3. LeytonOrient
              • 11 Years
              4 days, 12 hours ago

              Sarr + Caicedo to

              A) Foden + Doku
              B) Bruno F + Anderson
              C) other 14.6m combo

              Saka Kudus Semenyo complete my MID.

              1. Dynamic Duos
                • 12 Years
                4 days, 12 hours ago

                Foden and Bruno G

              • 9 Years
              4 days, 12 hours ago

              A) Start James (lee)
              B) Start Truffert (EVE)
              C) Use a FT for James > O'Reilly (ful)

              1. LeytonOrient
                • 11 Years
                4 days, 12 hours ago

                After benching James vs ARS and getting burnt I fully expect to get 1 pt for a cameo this week. LFG

            5. MVDP

              • 1 Year
              4 days, 12 hours ago

              Rice continues to squeeze out points.

              Never known such a consistent pts scorer be so low in our reckonings. Not with everybody but certainly for most.

              1. Yes Ndidi
                • 6 Years
                4 days, 12 hours ago

                He's been on my radar for weeks, but there's always something else to do with a higher potential ceiling, or another fire to put out first. Annoying watching him rack up the points - should have just taken the hit first as last. Will be in on WC for sure.

                1. MVDP
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 1 Year
                  4 days, 11 hours ago

                  Same here. Just never quite got round to it.

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

                Already done Reijnders > Rice for this week. Although I may have other issues not solvable now!

              3. Haa-lala-land
                • 5 Years
                4 days, 11 hours ago

                He should be in everyones team

            6. Buck The Trent
              • 14 Years
              4 days, 12 hours ago

              Would you do Pope, Semenyo to Sanchez, Foden (-4) ?

            7. 1justlookin
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              4 days, 12 hours ago

              Is everyone using their transfers by GW15, before we get 5 free transfers in GW16.

              Seems daft not to, right?

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

                That won’t be a problem!

            8. MVDP
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 1 Year
              4 days, 12 hours ago

              …. and another thing. Exactly when did Palhinha score all his pts. Never seen him mentioned once.

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

                Another defcon builder?

                1. MVDP
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 1 Year
                  4 days, 11 hours ago

                  We need to rethink how we play this game.

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

                    I know, it’s frustrating this year. Although I have made steady ground in my MLs over the past 5 or 6 GWs so maybe there’s light!

              Best Midfielder for 6.7 or below to replace Ndiaye?

                • 16 Years
                4 days, 11 hours ago

                Probably Minteh

              2. Dynamic Duos
                • 12 Years
                4 days, 11 hours ago

                Bruno G or Minteh

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

                Minteh is about it? Dango after next week, although I’m not sure what way he’s fixed for mins?

              4. jonnybhoy
                • 13 Years
                4 days, 11 hours ago

                Minteh or anderson

                • 7 Years

                Minteh?

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              4 days, 11 hours ago

              On WC;

              A) Foden + Virgil
              B) Bruno + O'Reilly

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

                I still prefer B I think, can’t get sucked back into this Foden nonsense

              2. Magic Zico
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years

                Bruno + NEW defender

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

                  Thiaw or one of the fullbacks worth the risk?

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

                    I like Hall because he has routes to assists with set pieces, but Livra seems more assured of minutes, and is cheaper

                    1. Magic Zico

                      • 7 Years
                      4 days, 11 hours ago

                      Difficult to say at this point with small samples recently they are starting games, nothing wrong picking up your fav

              Maresca on whether Reece James can play another 90 minutes against Leeds: "No, it is a no, the reality is no."

              "It was a fantastic performance, but we need to manage."

                The most honest answer ever. Almost Mateta-like.

                  Yeah, Chelsea will be shattered after tonight. Plus losing Caicedo is massive.

                Of course

              4 days, 11 hours ago

              What’s this about Thiago injured?

              Is it just a one game sort of thing?

              I'm getting sick of these Arsenal injuries.There's no way they can push for the title with key players dropping like flies every other week? They were so open today. Mosquera's passing was terrible.

                Aye without the red I think they would've lost.
