Re: Chelsea Mids/Atts
Pulisic looks something else here, might be a good thing Martial has gone 0.1 as can turn my attentions to him instead

Re: Chelsea Mids/Atts
The Chelsea 3 behind the striker all look good. It’s just the rotation problem.
Pulisic 7.5, Pedro 7.0, Willian 7.0, Mount 6.0 and Barkley 6.0 must go 3 into 5 every game?
Emerson is the real eye catcher at 5.5.

Re: Chelsea Mids/Atts
Read a quote from Lamps a couple of days ago saying Mount will be an important player this season and will contribute a lot, get games etc? That's classic build-up-then-bench chat, right? So Barkley starts v Leicester in the Mount role, and Pulisic on the left. Right?

Or the three thst started midweek?
I'm confidently expecting Tammy to start up top after the fwits on Tweeeter or wherever. It should be Giroud, especially for AM FF points...

Re: Chelsea Mids/Atts
He also explicitly said he probably won't start every game. I think he was emphasising the "probably" as a 'likely'. I suppose it's up to Mount to play himself into a nailed berth.Hotstepper wrote:Read a quote from Lamps a couple of days ago saying Mount will be an important player this season and will contribute a lot, get games etc?

Next two games are dangling carrots, waiting to be bitten.
Just not sure who to take on. Abraham or a midfielder?

If I opt for Mount or Pedro (those more than others, I'll have to lose Trossard.

Re: Chelsea Mids/Atts
Jorginho could be finally fulfilling his potential, at only 5.0 he is starting to look a bit like Chelsea's KDB (lite lite) and with pen duty to help out on the goal front too.
He's had two very decent xA performances in the last 3 league games and I'm looking at the Cantwell slot in my midfield and considering if Jorginho is actually the better bet now.

Re: Chelsea Mids/Atts
Cantwell has better goal threat though and his numbers back him up. Plus Jorginho has had only 1 assist in 60 odd games for Chelsea and even that was due a brilliant solo effort by TammyMav3rick wrote: ↑29 Sep 2019, 06:12 Jorginho could be finally fulfilling his potential, at only 5.0 he is starting to look a bit like Chelsea's KDB (lite lite) and with pen duty to help out on the goal front too.

Re: Chelsea Mids/Atts
His last 60 games aren't really relevant though with a new manager and his xA this season are significantly up.
His xG is really about pens only, if Chelsea get 5 this year that's good for a 5.0 mid.
Comparisons to Cantwell are very relevant especially as I'm thinking of selling the latter, his high overall xG is fed by a lot of big chances, especially at home. I don't mind that pattern so long as it's consistent through the season (a nice element of predictably about his points if it holds), but if his big chances so far have been more about variance then that could be an issue.

Re: Chelsea Mids/Atts
I almost want Hernandez to come back as I could potentially save 0.5mn getting Elneny or 0.4mn on Dendoncker instead of Cantwell. I feel there's too much value at present all round, that Cantwell just won't get many starts, not that he's not a good fist sub. That 0.5mn could go a long way each week. Ideally we would have the 11th man as one from Lund, Cant and perhaps even another. This means some base price players, which is why I'm loathed to ditch MKelly for Soyuncu - flexibility.

If I had Greenwood or Dendoncker, I'd probably keep them too, unless I still had the WC.

Re: Chelsea Mids/Atts
Cantwell's numbers away against West Ham and Palace have been good though? Yes he doesn't take a lot of shots but 8 out of his 9 shots have come from inside the box which accounts for his numbers.
Jorginho's penalty duties is a huge positive for him, and that alone will make him worth the price, but he's historically never been a player to rake up assists and if Cantwell is going to put up similar numbers through the season, I'd rather have him in a direct choice between the two.

Re: Chelsea Mids/Atts
I got all three atm - Tomori, Mount & Abraham - and it feels weird... Chelsea aren't that good to have 3 of theirs in my team, but these three feel like decent prospects.
Maybe Fat Frank does have a good thing going, especially now with some decent fixtures ahead.

Re: Chelsea Mids/Atts
Exactly. Absolutely everything in FPL is always relative to price.
So many times people tend to think "how many clean sheets a big club like Chelsea should keep" or "how many goals a Man United striker should score" and then they think Tomori and Martial are not solid picks because they might not meet those expectations. But in reality the real questions are "how many clean sheets a 4.5m defender should keep" and "how many goals a 7.6m midfielder should score".
Regarding Chelsea, there's really no reason not to have three Chelsea players in an optimal (wildcard) team right now.

Re: Chelsea Mids/Atts
I am in favour of three Chelsea players, since the team seems to have goals in it. So far I have had Abraham, Mount and Alonso. However, Chelsea's defence is not yet stable enough and Alonso is threatened by the return of Emerson. The price of Tomori is good, but I feel that the third spot is better given to C-H-O. His goals for U21 were brilliant, and in addition to goals some assists will also come along. I feel that at 5.9m he is "cheap" compared to the currently popular players Maddison or McGinn.

So who Will CHO play instead of? And Will he be starting now? Then I'd take him before Tomori.

Re: Chelsea Mids/Atts
Have to say I'm surprised at so many people buying CHO. Interest and close monitoring is one thing, but is it really a good move right now? He played 27m in GW7, 79m in GW8. That's it. Am I missing something team news related that's giving people confidence he's going to be a regular to the extent Mount and Abraham are?
