Werner back on Chelsea’s left as Pulisic misses out on trip to Everton

Timo Werner (£9.5m) is back on the left-hand side of Chelsea’s attack for a Gameweek 12 trip to Everton.

That’s because Christian Pulisic (£8.2m) misses out on the fixture entirely, absent from the matchday squad – although Frank Lampard did not mention there was anything wrong with the player in his pre-match press conference.

After scoring in the 3-1 win over Leeds, Olivier Giroud (£6.7m) gets a second consecutive Premier League start, keeping Tammy Abraham (£7.2m) on the bench.

Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech (£8.1m) dropping out of the side means Kai Havertz (£8.3m) returns to the front-three, stationed on the right-hand side.

Mason Mount (£6.8m) joins Mateo Kovacic (£5.3m) and N’Golo Kanté (£4.9m) in midfield while Chelsea’s defence, which has contributed eight goals and four assists this season, remains unchanged.

Carlo Ancelotti has named a somewhat patched-up side in light of recent injuries.

Alex Iwobi (£5.9m) takes up James Rodríguez‘s (£5.4m) spot in the front-three alongside Richarlison (£7.8m) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.9m) while Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.8m) and Ben Godfrey (£5.0m) are named as the left and right wing-backs respectively.

Everton XI (3-4-3): Pickford; Keane, Mina, Holgate; Sigurdsson, Allan, Doucouré, Godfrey; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Iwobi.

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): E Mendy; Chilwell, Zouma, T Silva, R James; Mount, Kanté, Kovacic; Werner, Giroud, Havertz.

      He is rumored out for 8 weeks. Why hold?

      C. Vardy will haul at Everton and no budget mids are worth it. Do B then for free after

    Can't afford 4 big hitterd + Grealish - is Mahrez a viable alternative to KDB if using extra £ to strengthen bench?

      I don't think so. But I think Soucek is a viable alternative to Grealish.

        Think Grealish vetter still, but could be the way to get 4 big hitters. All about value - and nailedness - for thise you dont captain

        Might take a punt if he's tipped to start

      Soucek is a starter. If you want to pay 5m he's got the highest upside, but you'll have to be lucky getting his points off the bench.

        Ive had Burke iand he isn't reliable as never know when he will play.

        Soucek provides useful depth if I accept the bench points....

        Anguissa an option?

      Depends if you can strengthen your 11 with a 4.5 mid as your benched attacker. For me there's no point in wasting that 0.5m on Soucek to leave him on the bench and cause benching headaches. Arguably he could be a decent 4th mid gvinig you lots of cash and scope for a stronger remaining 10 starters.
