5 Replacements for Ben Chilwell on Fantasy Premier League
Ben Chilwell was on fire for Chelsea since returning to the starting XI and was slowly forming part of a “template” 4-man defence for FPL managers.
Devastatingly for a man in the form that he was in, a “partial ACL” injury per Thomas Tuchel means the Chelsea left wing-back is ruled out for at least 6 weeks before being reevaluated for needing surgery — a decision that would end his season.
Even a few weeks during the busy festive period means a lot of FPL Gameweeks missed, so while we wish Ben the best with his recovery, FPL managers are now in the market for a Chilwell replacement.
Chelsea confirm Ben Chilwell has a partial ACL injury and the club will decide whether he needs surgery in six weeks.

Here’s a list of 5 defenders I think are worth transferring in for Chilwell, with the stats and fixtures provided to make a case for them.
The caveat to this is that I’m not going to list the obvious in Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joao Cancelo — if you don’t own these two they should be your highest priority transfers in for Chilwell.
