Time to triple up on Chelsea? FPL talking point

For Fantasy Premier League managers, there could be some big decisions to make for this weekend.

With Chelsea’s upcoming fixtures looking appealing, is it time to load up on their players?

And what about Erling Haaland? Many have been sticking by the Manchester City forward as captain despite his recent poor run of form in front of goal, so is it time to look elsewhere?

Heisenberg: Chelsea have an amazing run of fixtures over the next four gameweeks – now is the time to bring their assets in. They have three home games in the next four gameweeks – against West Ham, Leeds and Burnley and face Wolves away from home. This is about as good as it gets for a fixture run for any team this season.

They have plenty of good assets to choose from, Enzo Fernandez in midfield, Trevoh Chalobah in defence, Robert Sanchez in goal and Joao Pedro up front are my top picks.

Chalobah has attacking threat from set pieces and he’s decent for defensive contributions too. If you want another route into the Chelsea clean sheets then consider Sanchez in goal.

Joao Pedro frustrated FPL managers earlier in the season but has performed well under Rosenior and seems to be first choice ahead of Delap.

Chelsea will have a tricky time balancing their squad with all the competitions they are in. They are still in Europe and will have fixtures in both domestic cup competitions too. Therefore, there’s a chance some of their assets rotate.

Alistair Bruce-Ball: Haaland is one of the five most transferred out players this week. We’ve just been captaining Haaland week after week after week, given the run he is going through… would you contemplate not making him captain this week and doing something else?

Glenn Murray: I think I would start him but not captain him. But there’s not an awful lot out there. You are trying to find hot streaks rather than guarantees.
