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

  1. WVA

    Chilwell booked?!

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Can't be. It was called offside.

  2. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

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

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      lol

    2. BenDavies
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Was he!?

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Yup

  3. Bruce Lee
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    Is that the real Santiago Bernab.?

    Looks a bit different

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

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

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

          Cheaper to host

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

            Fair enough

        2. Andy'81
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          Cheaper to play at the training ground.

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

          I think they’re rebuilding part of it

  4. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    DCL getting plenty of fouls upping the BPS

  5. Vazza
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    These new refereeing rules are insane.

  6. Duke Silver ☑
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    Not sure if that was Silva booking or Chilwell.

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Looked like Chilwell may have kicked the ball away.

    The Fantasy Penalty League jokes from the first few GWs really seem to have dried up

      You underestimate Everton

      1. Reeker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Sorry wrong post

  10. Reeker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    It would classic Everton for Chelsea to win 2-1

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

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

      1. Reeker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

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

    Silva YC

    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, 3 days 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, 3 days ago

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

  13. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    Clearly onside

    1. BenDavies
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      lol

  14. IRBOX ⚽
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

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

    1. Party time
        5 years, 3 days ago

        😆

      • JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years

        You captained KDB pipe down

          Look again.

        2. JONALDINHO
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          I stand corrected

        3. DAZZ
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

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

      • Ha.
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        He’s a striker

      • DAZZ
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 days 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
          5 years, 3 days ago

          Is one needed?

        2. Flair
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          Looks accurate to me.

        3. IRBOX ⚽
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          Did I?

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 days 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, 3 days ago

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

      • puhd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        I sold... to enable getting Chelsea defense.

    2. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      wow looks like DCL was going to take pen there

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Don't say that 🙁

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        didn't even get to pick up the ball

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

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

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 days 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, 3 days ago

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

      1. Flair
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        84th imo

      2. Vazza
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Correction: Zouma g mount a

      3. Babit1967
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Would be lovely

    5. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Finaly Havertz out

    6. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Kai Havertz consistent if nothing else.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Been a flop so far.

    7. puhd
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 days 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, 3 days ago

      Chilwell and James here What a Looose

    9. Duke Silver ☑
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Chilwell not happy with Werner.

    10. Flair
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Will Werner owners still exist after today's performance?

    11. dshv
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      In my team i have team full of blanks except soucek

    12. Dele
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      DCL > Wilson... need DCL back

      1. Flair
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        New Jimenez, always bringing in that honest work

      2. puhd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Did the same move to enable Chelsea defense

    13. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

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

    14. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      If only iwobi could put a cross in!

    15. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Irbox captained Salah

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          5 years, 3 days ago

          Not celebrating Salah c until I see him starting

          1. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            ... and scoring

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
          5 years, 3 days 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, 3 days ago

          Keep one of Chilwell or Zouma, leaning towards Zouma?

          1. Vazza
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            I agree

          2. WVA
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            Yeah zouma

          3. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            Biggest goal threat
