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.

Lessons learned from FPL Gameweek 12

    Chilwell booked?!

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Can't be. It was called offside.

  2. Royal5

    5 years, 1 day ago

    Fuxake. Even looked like DCL was going to take it.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      lol

    2. BenDavies
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Was he!?

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        Yup

  3. Bruce Lee
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    Is that the real Santiago Bernab.?

    Looks a bit different

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      2nd teams ground - 80,000 seater not needed atm.

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        What is happening in the 80,000er then?

        Assume it isn't generating cash so why not just play there?

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 day ago

          Cheaper to host

          1. Bruce Lee
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 1 day ago

            Fair enough

        2. Andy'81
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 day ago

          Cheaper to play at the training ground.

        3. Right In The Stanchion
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 day ago

          I think they’re rebuilding part of it

  4. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    DCL getting plenty of fouls upping the BPS

  5. Vazza
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    These new refereeing rules are insane.

  6. Duke Silver ☑
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    Not sure if that was Silva booking or Chilwell.

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Looked like Chilwell may have kicked the ball away.

      You underestimate Everton

        Sorry wrong post

  10. Reeker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    It would classic Everton for Chelsea to win 2-1

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Chelsea aint winning nothing, terrible team. Frank has no clue what to do

      1. Reeker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        Don't underestimate Everton's ability to mess up games

    DCL is really a top quality forward.

    Such a shame he won't get starts for England with Kane in the side.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Not skilful or technically good, but his movement and hard work makes him a useful forward, and his leap is something special. The height he gets on his jumps is unique.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        Leap and also ability to find space in the box.. it’s uncanny!

  13. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    Clearly onside

    1. BenDavies
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      lol

  14. IRBOX ⚽
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 day ago

    Imagine selling DCL... deserve to be punished and punished hard. He is the single most season keeper I’ve ever seen!

        😆

      • JONALDINHO

        2. JONALDINHO
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 day ago

          I stand corrected

        3. DAZZ
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 day ago

          3 clicks show he didn’t lol. No fool would own Salah and not give him the band.

      • Ha.
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        He’s a striker

      • DAZZ
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        “Irbox captained KDB vs United over Salah vs Fulham. Then tells people how this is the season of casuals and captaincy is everything. Interesting”.

        Thoughts on this comment from Flair?

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years

          Is one needed?

        2. Flair
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 day ago

          Looks accurate to me.

        3. IRBOX ⚽
          • 8 Years

          Did I?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 1 day ago

            Ah, seen your team link. Just a massive BS-er then?

            Good to get some solid proof.

            Although we knew what already.

            1. IRBOX ⚽
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 1 day ago

              I was absolutely going to until Jota knock announced in Klopp’s presser

      • puhd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        I sold... to enable getting Chelsea defense.

    2. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      wow looks like DCL was going to take pen there

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        Don't say that 🙁

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        didn't even get to pick up the ball

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Haven't seen Everton defend this well since they had Zouma in their side...

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        We are good bro. Just need Olson to come in for Pickford. Should be a top 6 side challenging for European positions

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      This has Zouma g James a written on it. 83rd minute.

      1. Flair
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        84th imo

      2. Vazza
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        Correction: Zouma g mount a

      3. Babit1967
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        Would be lovely

    5. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Finaly Havertz out

    6. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Kai Havertz consistent if nothing else.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        Been a flop so far.

    7. puhd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Goodness so Newcastle score two and Wilson is involved in none. KDB and Bruno blank too. James Reece too. Now just hoping that Salah does well!

    8. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Chilwell and James here What a Looose

    9. Duke Silver ☑
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Chilwell not happy with Werner.

    10. Flair
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Will Werner owners still exist after today's performance?

    11. dshv
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      In my team i have team full of blanks except soucek

    12. Dele
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      DCL > Wilson... need DCL back

      1. Flair
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        New Jimenez, always bringing in that honest work

      2. puhd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 day ago

        Did the same move to enable Chelsea defense

    13. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Havertz that was the worst performance since Werner's performance tonight

    14. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      If only iwobi could put a cross in!

    15. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 day ago

      Irbox captained Salah

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          5 years, 1 day ago

          Not celebrating Salah c until I see him starting

          1. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 1 day ago

            ... and scoring

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          5 years, 1 day ago

          If this game stays as is and man utd win their game in hand, utd would be 1 point ahead of Chelsea

          Crazy season

        • g40steve
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 day ago

          Keep one of Chilwell or Zouma, leaning towards Zouma?

          1. Vazza
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 day ago

            I agree

          2. WVA
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 day ago

            Yeah zouma

            • 13 Years
            5 years, 1 day ago

            Biggest goal threat
