Timo Werner (£ 9.3m) was initially the latest Frank Lampard Roulette victim when the Chelsea manager makes six changes from the side that won 4-0 at Krasnodar midweek.
The former RB Leipzig striker played 90 minutes in Russia, eventually scoring a penalty and helping a good deal, but Lampard went ahead with his haunting concerns about a “tired group”.
Fresh from converting a penalty shot in the Champions League, Werner’s owners had been waiting patiently Jorginho (£ 5.3 million) to miss a first game since Gameweek 3, in order to catch one in the Fantasy Premier League. It so happens that today he joins the Italian on the bench.
However, there was drama even before the start at Turf Moor when Christian Pulisic (£ 8.3 million) was injured in the warm-up – Werner chose to replace him in the starting lineup.
Tammy Abraham (£ 7.2m) originally came in for the German international as the top three of Chelsea’s top three at Turf Moor, Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech (£ 7.9 million), making his first Premier League start for the club. It seems likely that Werner will fill the leftist role with Abraham in the middle.
Mason Mount (£ 6.8m) is back for his second start since Gameweek 4, joined in central midfield by Kai havertz (£ 8.4 million) and N’Golo Kanté (£ 4.9 million).
Despite all the concern over which Chelsea defenders would start, that area of the team has provided little frustration, especially compared to Werner’s bench.
In fact, the three most popular Blues advocates start today at Burnley.
Signed by more managers for Gameweek 7 than any other player, Ben chilwell (£ 5.9m) is on the left side once again, Reece james (£ 5.0 million) is on the right, while Kurt zouma (£ 5.1m) keeps his place in the middle where he is joined Thiago Silva (£ 5.5 million).
Interest in Burnley’s assets is primarily budgetary, with 7.5% currently in the possession of a non-playing defender. Jimmy Dunne (£ 4.1 million) and central midfielder Dale stephens (4.4 million pounds sterling).
Nick pope (£ 5.4m) is still the trendiest Claret, owned by 11.2%, its backers hope it can make a lot of saves today
Burnley XI: Pope; C Taylor, Tarkowski, K Long, Lowton; McNeil, D Stephens, Westwood, Brownhill; Wood, To Barnes.
Chelsea XI: E Mendy; Chilwell, Zouma, T Silva, R James; Havertz, Kanté, Monte; Pulisic, Abraham, Ziyech.
