Some tasty differentials there, like it. I'd the fear of having no Arsenal Mid's!

Good luck all, I'm in midtable mediocrity so taken a gamble on Mahrez hammering his old club....

Trippier - Zinchenko - Henry - Chilwell

Martinelli - Saka - Mitoma

Haaland (c) - Kane - Watkins

[ Steele - Estupinan - Madisson - Rashford ]

No transfers made - wanted Grealish for Rashford but banked with 32 in mind

macraignil

Ramsey(Watkins) Villa on top and also hit woodwork twice.

Watkins off post in first min and Ramsey hit crossbar then. They should be more up here, playing excellent stuff. As a non Watkins owner, this is hard watch.

shmeee

Another Watkins shot, got in too easy. Saved my Pope.

crushproof

Sounds like a classic Watkins performance from the last couple of seasons. Plenty of chances but can't finish.

I'll gladly take a Trippier assist to offset the Villa goal!

Watkins goal

Edit: Offside

Mr Crispy

He's offside.

shmeee

Isack goes close at one end and is some save and then Watkins scores at other end.

May be offside....

*Offside. Phew! He could be on a monster haul here lads, it's scary

whatawaster81

In this time. Good man Ollie

Xander10

Watkins is killing me

paulie21

Watkins (Moreno)

eagle eye

I know it was offside but Watkins is FF money.

shmeee

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120480826#Comment_120480826

This time it's a goal!!

Oh bollox .....

He's scary lads, Haaland like here today

eagle eye

And there he goes, unreal.

mobydopy

Watkins has been a fantastic FPL asset . Consistent returns week in week out

crushproof

Unai had transformed this team, incredible stuff

Newbie20

Well my benching Watkins decision is going well!

normanoffside

Kepa starts. Steele dropped

Cartman78

No Havertz either.

Really poor looking Chelsea team imho

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/120480856#Comment_120480856

I think he's injured. Not in the squad.

This could be the opportunity Sanchez needed to reclaim his spot though.

paulie21

Ollie brace

mobydopy

Watkins ya beauty !!

Mr Crispy

Good man Oliver.

Fitz*

I captained Watkins last week.

Wish I missed the deadline and still had him wearing the armband 😂 Grealish probably won't even start

extra gravy

Started Estupinan over Botman, happy enough now. Until Brighton also concede 3 that is!

AlmightyCushion

I spent a lot of time deciding whether to play Steele or Pope. In the end the FPL gods made that decision for me.

shmeee

Just having Trippier there is already a 100k rank drop from 350 to 450. Massive!

Watkins owners in heaven.

Cartman78

Everyone in the world on 14 points right now (Watkins + Trippier) 😂

castletownman

Forgot to set my captain before the deadline, so Watkins kept the armband from last week.

Delighted with that oversight haha

shmeee

Havertz not starting, not even on bench it seems! so at least the FT of him to Jesus looks alright as of now. Kepa and Chilwell both start. One was always gonna miss out. Kepa on everyone's bench it seems. May sub in for Steele now for many.

shmeee

Watkins is only 50% EO at my rank, 400k.

23, Mings. 😁

Kepa is the Chelsea captain today. Does that cement him?

Newbie20

Watkins first sub is a tough one to take but you gotta bench someone. Pep will you please rest Haaland or Grealish for the full game please

mobydopy

Hope Brighton can do a job on Chelsea. I've got Estupinan, March and Mitoma starting plus Chilwell

gammygils

Fair play Ollie. Why didn't you do that last week when I had you captained as a differential

Mr Crispy

Spurs v Bou is delayed by 15 mins.

shmeee

Havertz has a knock in knee so not in squad.

Ace2007

Great start with Watkins - If Mitoma could score to make up for last week that would be great too.

shmeee

Mitoma cut back to Mac10, just wide of the post. So close

shmeee

Ferguson hits crossbar , would have been MacAllister assist
