Zouma, James and Werner on Chelsea’s bench at Fulham as Lampard rotates

Frank Lampard has caused some Double Gameweek 19 rotation grief with his team selection for Saturday’s trip to Fulham.

Kurt Zouma (£5.8m) and Reece James (£5.1m) are currently owned by 21.5% and 7.4% of all Fantasy Premier League managers respectively but they both find themselves on the bench at Craven Cottage.

There is more surprise about the former considering he has started 13 of the last 14 Premier League matches while James is making his return from a recent knee problem.

Instead, Lampard has gone with a central defensive pairing of Thiago Silva (£5.6m) and Antonio Rüdiger (£4.5m) while Ben Chilwell (£6.1m) and Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.6m) staff the full-back berths.

Kai Havertz (£8.2m), Timo Werner (£9.2m), Callum Hudson-Odoi (£5.7m) and Tammy Abraham (£7.2m) are also on Chelsea’s bench as Christian Pulisic (£8.2m) and Hakim Ziyech (£8.1m) flank Olivier Giroud (£6.7m).

Fulham come into this London derby without Aleksandar Mitrovic (£5.5m) so Ademola Lookman (£5.0m), Ivan Cavaleiro (£5.3m) and Bobby De Cordova-Reid (£5.3m) make up the front-three.

André-Franck Zambo Anguissa (£4.5m) and Harrison Reed (£4.4m) are in central midfield with Antonee Robinson (£4.4m) and Kenny Tete (£4.3m) in the wing-back positions either side of the back-three.

Fulham XI (3-4-3): Areola; Adarabioyo, Andersen, Aina; A Robinson, Zambo Anguissa, Reed, Tete; Lookman, Cavaleiro, De Cordova-Reid.

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): E Mendy; Chilwell, T Silva, Rüdiger, Azpilicueta; Mount, Jorginho, Kovacic; Pulisic, Giroud, Ziyech.

  7. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Surely can't be a chilwell assist

  8. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is that a Chilwell assist?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 2 months ago

        No assist, it was a cross

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Looked like a bullet shot to me

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      NOT a Chilwell assist

      1. Right In The Stanchion
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Was a cross not a shot. These amateurs know nothing.

    4. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No assist for that goal. Chilwell owners wanting their assist.

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks for the overview.

      2. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Won't be surprised if fpl towers give it to him. They love Chilwell a lot that his price doesn't drop.

    5. Jack Burton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      That can't be Chilwell assist can it

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Podence didn't get one for a similar cross earlier in the season.

    6. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Hahaha. Here we go with the assists.

    7. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why the keeper pushes that back in towards traffic instead of over the bar is beyond me

    8. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      hOW IS THAT AN ASSIST?

    9. Flair
      • 3 Years

    11. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago
