First goal of season James scored a goal while taking two shots (one on goal), crossing five times (one accurate) and making three tackles (winning all three) during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Tottenham.
Impact James found the back of the net in the 77th minute scoring Chelsea's second goal of the match and his first of the season. The wingback is one of the highest upside defenders in the league for fantasy players as he can score goals and create as well as pick up points for cleansheets on a stalwart defensive Chelsea side.

Exceptional in win James created three chances from 17 crosses (three accurate) and put two shots off target during Saturday's 1-0 win over Everton.
Impact James took 13 corners in this game and also conceded a yellow card. As the yellow card was a bigger result of time wasting, not much can dampen a good first game of the season for James. While he won't always log this many crosses, this game is a good indication he should continue to play as a wing-back, something that has been in the flux in the past.

Impact James gets the call after returning to training this week and after missing the win against West Ham. He's listed as a wing-back in the team graphic, but he's played as a center-back the last couple matches, so it's not a guarantee where he lines up against Man United.
