Chelsea (CHE) vs Leicester City (LEI) Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
Timo Werner has experienced a renaissance under Thomas Tuchel this season and may well play a pivotal role in the Blues' first trophy bid under the German manager. Mason Mount has been one of Chelsea's most consistent performers this season and will have to be at his creative best against Leicester City.
Leicester City have their own attacking stalwarts going into this game with Kelechi Iheanacho and Jamie Vardy building a lethal partnership this season. Youri Tielamans has also been one of the Foxes' most important players and will have to keep Chelsea at bay on Saturday.
Chelsea's defence has become a formidable force under Thomas Tuchel with Cesar Azpilicueta and Antonio Rudiger playing key roles this year. The Blues do rotate the goalkeepers, however, and Leicester City's Kasper Schmeichel will prove a good asset to this team.
Fantasy Suggestion #1
Kasper Schmeichel; Caglar Soyuncu, Antonio Rudiger, Cesar Azpilicueta; Youri Tielemans, N'Golo Kante, Jorginho, Mason Mount (C); Timo Werner, Kelechi Iheanacho, Jamie Vardy (VC)
Captain: Mason Mount (CHE), Vice-captain: Jamie Vardy (LEI)
Fantasy Suggestion #2
Kasper Schmeichel; Jonny Evans, Ben Chilwell, Antonio Rudiger; N'Golo Kante, Wilfred Ndidi, James Maddison, Mason Mount; Timo Werner (C), Kelechi Iheanacho (VC), Jamie Vardy
Captain: Timo Werner (CHE), Vice-captain: Kelechi Iheanacho (LEI)
Ben Chilwell has played a key role in Chelsea's knock-out games this season and his attacking prowess makes him a key player ahead of this FA Cup final. The left-back has a point to prove against his former side and will need to step up this weekend.
James Maddison came on as a substitute against Manchester United earlier this week and will be well-rested in this fixture. The midfielder could give Mason Mount a run for his money as the most creative player on the pitch and will have to be at his best in this match.
