Everton v Chelsea team news: Chilwell starts, Cucurella a sub

Everton v Chelsea rounds off a busy day of Premier League football.

Kick-off at Goodison Park is at 17:30 BST.

Chelsea’s line-up is identical to the one that took on Udinese last Friday, with one exception: the Barcelona-bound Marcos Alonso is replaced by Ben Chilwell at left wing-back.

New signing Marc Cucurella is among the substitutes, while Raheem Sterling makes his competitive Blues bow in a front three with Mason Mount and Kai Havertz.

Everton are also parading two summer recruits in the shape of James Tarkowski and Dwight McNeil, who make Frank Lampard’s starting XI.

Dele Alli doesn’t get the nod up top despite Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Salomon Rondon missing out through injury and suspension, with Anthony Gordon initially starting as the nominal spearhead.

GAMEWEEK 1 LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, Patterson, Mina, Godfrey, Tarkowski, Mykoleko, Doucoure, Iwobi, Gordon, McNeil, Gray.

Chelsea XI: Mendy, James, Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Koulibaly, Chilwell, Kante, Jorginho, Mount, Havertz, Sterling.

    Chilwell 12 pointer. James stays on for his 1 pointer.

    Missing Mount blank too.

      He's on 9 points and has been subbed off

    Mount off too... What is Tuchel doing!!???

    1. A. PRISE
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Tuchel is a child. It's normal

  3. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Off to the Mount top.

  4. TomSaints

    Well at least the cs is banked. But what a poor showing

    1. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Ah damn I preferred James off haha

  5. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    James not off, moved to LWB, Chilwell off

  6. Rainer

    Mount's last sighting at £8.0m...

    1. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Not the best choice but oh well

  7. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Not impressed with James. The eyes don't lie.
    Think I will just rely on Bendy Mendy henceforth.

    3 - Jorginho (32)
    2 - Azpilicueta (30)
    1 - James (28)

    Chilwell (27)
    Thiago Silva (26)
    Mendy (24)

    1. Rainer

      At least Chilwell can't getting the passing BPS now, just see how far James falls...

      I tried to register for L M S but it said entry was blocked. Any thoughts?

        1. 1966 was a great year for E…
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Aaargh, didn't it used to auto-enrol if you were in the previous season?

            • 14 Years
            1 year, 9 months ago

            Teams get banned from the league so renew doesn't work. Would be way too many teams too.

              Ah, fair enough, I'll join after Wed.

                Only accepting 100 new entries this GW.
                Numbers are pretty big already.

      1. Drexl Spivey
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Missed the deadline - opens again Wednesday I think.

  9. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    hopefully James concedes now

    1. Thanos
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Doubt it. Chelsea toothless infront of goal.

  10. Naby K8a
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    People actually chose Mount over Kulu. Watch football with your eyes people

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Got them both.

    2. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Mount is a far better player, ventral to Chelsea and on form.

      Sensible pick that just didn’t work out this week

      1. Naby K8a
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Are you serious? Kulu has the most assists in the league since he joined. He’s been unbelievable pretty much every game

    3. Zalk
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      You succeeded in every pick this GW I guess?

        Let him gloat

  11. jonny77
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Well i got my 8M mids of Diaz and Mount wrong although unless Maddison performs looks like a lot of the 8M mids have flopped other than Kulu

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Saka got assist to and Foden and Mahrez will get something

      1. jonny77
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Tbf I would have picked Saka but I maxed out on Arsenal with Martinelli, Zinch and Jesus

    2. Khark
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Diaz was incredibly unlucky to blank

      1. jonny77
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Yeah he looked lively with that offside goal and the shot that hit the bar, deffo am not looking to ship off immediately

  12. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Rumours circulating that Tuchel was seen scrolling on here and kept James on to please Redro!

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Tuchel if you read this - thanks mate!

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I would be pleased with the banked cs at this point.

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        100%!

  13. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Rage transfer Mount to Saka

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Or Kulu

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        He was sublime today and saved my GW as I had Kane(c)

  14. Thanos
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Glass Mina broken again

  15. dshv
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Is tha mean I have to swap Maunt ??

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Yes you HAVE to

  16. A. PRISE
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Spurs will annihilate Chelsea next week

  17. jacob1989
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Mount needs to go. Awful decision to put him
    .city boys, saka, maddison?

    1. A. PRISE
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Anything but a Chelsea player my man. How about Kulu or Diaz?

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      One game, bro.

      1. A. PRISE
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Against one of the worst teams in the league though

    3. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Maddison or Foden, my two cents.

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Foden (BOU) looks pretty sexy in my team. You should try it.

      1. jacob1989
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Yeah could be that or kane to haaland.
        Dont think want a hit so early in the season

  18. JBG
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Only Chelsea player that has impressed me is Koulibaly and that's not from a FPL perspective.

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Ol' man Thiago, for keeping Chelsea up.

  19. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Guy in my ML is on 67 points and has Mitrovic and JWP on his bench too

  20. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Think 7 of Chelsea's first 8 were selected for live broadcast in the UK. God help us zzzzzz

    1. Naby K8a
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Pre GW1 last season. Everyone had Toney after he broke the Championship record. Mitro gets 40+ last year and nobody had him in their teams

      1. Naby K8a
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Woops.

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        We both replied to Milkman Bruno. The site is playing up

        1. Drexl Spivey
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Some heavy editing going on.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Was he sent from the future?

    3. Rudi Van Disarzio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Like an end of season dead rubber, shocking match

  21. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Honestly laughing at everyone panicking after less than one gameweek over transfers. Did you guys not plan or something.

    1. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Of course we abandoned all plans 1h before the GW1 deadline. 😉

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Keeping Mount?

  22. HashAttack
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Scout picks doing well then

  23. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Alli has to hit that first time

  24. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Hold Chelsea Holdddddd.!

  25. Thanos
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Dele is still as useless as earlier!

  26. FPL_trail_runner
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    So seems an identical start to everyone around the 50 mark

    When i saw the spurs bibs training video yesterday got rid of perisic and doherty and decided to not do bench boost

    Looks like down around 30 points (Rodrigo, Bamford, Trippier , Pope and wilson)

    Win some lose some. At least it means wont do Week 2 WC as still need more data.

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      So you got around 50? Or around 30?

      1. FPL_trail_runner
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Just under 50 if Chelsea hold the clean sheet with 3 to go

        But would be on 80 points if i did the planned BB ( backed out of it around 4pm yesterday after seeing that doherty and perisic werent going to start and didnt feel there were great replacements ...Dier was one -

        The BB squad would have been very different (posted it yesterday here) and would have meant WC week 2

  27. Thanos
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Havertz looks like Keanu Reeves just woke up in the Matrix 😆

  28. Sailboats
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Dele is finished as a footballer

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      For some time now, too.

    2. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Yep, very frustrating especially when you are a toffee!

  29. JBG
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Alli has forgotten how to kick a ball.

  30. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Scout picks horrendous opening week.

    I though they’re supposed to be experts?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Most got it wrong.

      Besides Salah and Martinelli and Ramsdale the template must be losing, unless you had a good differential or 2 that you also went for?
