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.

    Werner is running out of time. He’s got to go.

    Bring in Bamford for him? Or another cheapie?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yes.

  2. have you seen cyan
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Tammy will score at least

  3. Kodap
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    I'm doing Werner > Bamford this week, cba with him anymore..

    1. gart888
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Makes sense. I presume when you bought him you had visions of him being a striker, not a winger. If he were a mid in this game it would be a different story.

  4. ☈☾

    Fat Frank playing Werner on the right and Tammy on the left lol

  5. Limbo
    • 16 Years

    Macca been on the marching powder?

  6. Duke Silver ☑

  7. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    James owners went from unlucky to lucky...

  8. Mr. O'Connell
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Everton cheating off the scale tonight

  9. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    The Ev are back in the race you know.

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Saints, Foxes, Utd, City and Villa all have games in hand

  10. Flair

    5 years, 8 months ago

    Would love to see England play two up top with DCL and Kane. Can see an outstanding partnership blossoming there

    1. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      No way, too similar...

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      DCL as impact sub is good enough imo

    3. Dickie1898
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Can’t see that working myself. Far too similar.

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Kane works better with pace.

      DCL isn't slow, but I think Kane would play better with a Rashford/Sterling/Sancho type.

      1. Flair
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        True, he's doing well with Son. Just love to see a classic partnership up front, always enjoyable

  11. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Son to mahrez for -4 next week? Already own Kane.

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      why

    2. Flair
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      You'll want Son back soon enough surely, don't like that move.

    3. Dickie1898
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Nope

    4. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Not even for a +4

  12. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    This has Richarlison goal on the counter written all over it.

  13. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Players need carding for all these fake injuries

  14. have you seen cyan
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    cant believe I looked forward to this game

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I was excited for the derby especially with Bruno and KDB....

  15. Party time
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Come on DCL. Grab a goal

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Vamos vamos vamos

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Obviously not the day for scoring goals in PL...

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        You know it is bad when Newcastle have scored the most goals

  16. Vazza
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    4 out of 5 scout picks have blanked so far this gameweeks.

    Bamford is the only one with a return with an assist

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      They generally do poorly

      1. Right In The Stanchion
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Loool 900k

        1. Flair
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          I mean... he's not wrong mate. They've only beaten the average like 6~ times this season or so

        2. JONALDINHO
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Where’s your team link?

    2. Thunderbahçe
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Not many returns overall so far, tbf. Crappy GW

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      If anyone could predict this game accurately they'd be a millionaire.

  17. Fudgy
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Name a worse series of transfers.

    Reguilon > Cancelo > James (-4)...

    Cost me 14 points in 3 weeks lol

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I did Son to Bruno gw2.... Cost me a lot more than 14 points

      1. Fudgy
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        That's not good either

    2. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Selling Kane cost me 31 points in one gameweek once upon a time

      1. Harper_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        actually it was 48 points over two gameweeks

      2. Fudgy
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Ouch

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years

      Stop digging

  18. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Liverpool look like the only consistent team in this league. City and Chelsea having their struggles and Spurs will be found out soon...

    1. Bruce Lee
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Spurs too

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Chelsea look a different side when Ziyech/Pulisic doesn't play.

  19. Gobigorgohome

    2. Bruce Lee

    Predictions for Salah (C), Kane (C) and Son (C)?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Predictions are useless, see what happened to manu-city

    2. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Salah 2
      Kane 40
      Son 2

  23. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Shipping Werner, he is absolutely toilet.

    I’ll ship Jota for Bruno so that leaves me with 7.9 for a striker, I already own Bamford. Who do we think?

    1. Thunderbahçe
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Adams or Welbeck. Spend the money elsewhere I'd say

  24. Babit1967
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone worse than 20 with 4 to go?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I think you may be rock bottom of the world pal.

    2. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      18 with 4 to go

    3. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      29 (33-4) with Salah Robbo no Spurs. Soucek first sub

    4. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Shocking score. Should be 10 pts min for every player. Get good

    5. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Martinez Coufal KDB Bruno Grealish Wilson DCL and my first ever -8

    6. Esalman

      Sooner Antonio returns the better.

      DCL-Bamford-Antonio front three for life!

  26. Bushwhacker
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Has this Chelsea team ever played together before? The number of "lovely layoffs" where the receiving player is on a completely different wavelength is staggering.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Its an entirely new team this season and there was no preseason

  27. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    James range.

  28. gart888
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    How on earth do I deal with Jota being out for 2 months if he was my 4th mid (Soucek is 5th), have very little money ITB, and only 1 FT. I've messed up lads.

    Are Bowen, Neto, Podence my best options? Is Neto the best of them?

  29. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    What moves would you make to this team?
    Martinez
    Targett dias ayling
    Kdb(c) bruno son grealish
    Kane DCL Bamford

    G2G?

  30. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years

    James bought that one.
