The 3 best Chelsea choices for your FPL team to win big this gameweek
Fantasy Premier League players, it’s only a matter of hours until the Gameweek deadline closes, so what better time to revisit the FPL articles for some real insight to take on board (probably best to ignore)?
Everton play Chelsea in the 12:30 kick-off, so why not kick off your weekend with some extra jeopardy by adding a little FPL interest to the match?
Picking three Chelsea players is a given for any fans, but which three should we choose for this Gameweek? We run the best and most interesting option to select.
FPL picks
Pep Chavarria - £4.9M
Chavarria is a budget route into Chelsea’s defence at a moment when the team is scoring freely, but one that provides an attacking option. Evidenced by a great assist for Joao Pedro in the Bournemouth win.
With Reece James sidelined for an extended period, he has a clear route to regular minutes, with Marco Palestra likely to focus on the right flank for now. And regular game time is the foundation of any sensible FPL defender pick.
Everton’s defensive record is a fair warning, and a clean sheet is far from guaranteed, but his minutes security and the attacking platform around him make him a sensible, low-cost option.
Joao Pedro - £7.8M
João Pedro leads the line for one of the league’s top-scoring sides, making him a natural FPL captaincy contender in any Gameweek. His movement and finishing make him a strong goalscoring option alongside Erling Haaland.
Everton boast the toughest defence in the division, meaning chances could be harder to come by than usual. However, a striker who benefits from first-choice service and regular involvement in the penalty area still offers a solid FPL points potential.
Now back to full fitness and looking a guaranteed starter, João Pedro has further strengthened his case, as demonstrated by his well-taken brace against Bournemouth.
Maxence Lacroix - £5.9M
Lacroix offers clean-sheet potential (we are hoping for one) and a threat from set pieces, a combination that makes centre-backs valuable in FPL. Plus, he has arguably been Chelsea’s best centre-back so far this season, and for a newcomer, that level of performance elevates his ceiling.
Chelsea’s defence has been shaky, so the clean sheet is a gamble, but Everton are a low-scoring side, and the Frenchman hopes to pocket his counterpart, Thierno Barry.
