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.

    Can't be an assist. Wasn't a shot, wasn't the intended destination.

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

    4. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It shouldn't be. Should get written off before long

  6. Top Lad Dakes.

    3 years, 2 months ago

    Maybe shoulda done Son to Mount as a funding move rather than Robbo to Cancelo...

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Hindsight eh?

    2. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Well I had Mount since my first WC and dropped him and Son to fund KDB when City got their second match added.

      Oh well

  7. Cok3y5murf

    Chilwell's intended target was clearly Mount

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

      Totally meant it

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

      If by Mount you mean the goal.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Chilwell should have taken a shot.

    4. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nah he was Areola's target though.

  8. BenDavies
    • 11 Years

    Chelsea winning and Areola owners punished for their poor decision making. Beautiful

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      11 pointer if it wasn’t for 1 reckless challenge, a great decision not rewarded

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

    I'd like that to be defined as an assist, but it's not.

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

      In general. I'm not a Chilwell owner (chose Antonio instead)

  10. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Chilwell always was essential

    • 12 Years

    1. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

  23. Free Hat
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Mount deserved that.
    The only one that keeps Chelsea really going imo.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 2 months ago

        But is his guaranteed place the reason they're never that good in the first place

        1. Free Hat
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Nah. For me their best player this season.

    2. How I met your Mata
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Surely an assist for chilly 😉

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Shot on target? Then deflected?

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

      That will count as a Chilwell hat-trick

    4. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Rival brought in Mason Mount. Fml

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Always guaranteed 90 mins each game.

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

        Giroud's gone off though...

    6. Captain Vantastic™
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      One more Chelsea goal and Areola will be on 1 point. . .

      1. MoSalad
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Fail

    7. MoSalad
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Fulham deserve a point here

    8. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Areola doesn’t deserve a cleanie after that weak ass punch straight to Mount
