Our verdict on Palmer
Chosen Esiwe
Cole Palmer has been in the Chelsea starting eleven for 8 of their 8 league matches, staying on for 87 minutes on average. Minutes are not a worry here. At £9.8m he is owned by 27.3% of managers, so he is a core pick for a big part of the game.
His FPL form, the average points per game over the last 30 days, stands at 3.0. That ranks 49th of 159 midfielders who are playing regularly. Solid, if not spectacular. Underneath the points, his expected goal involvement of 0.33 per 90 minutes ranks 45th in the same group. He is first in line for penalties, and that alone lifts his ceiling.
His price has gone up £0.3m since the start of the season. The selling has started, with 127,257 more transfers out than in this gameweek, so a fall could follow.
Over the next five gameweeks he faces MUN (H), SUN (A), LEE (H), NFO (A) and CRY (H). That is a fair run of games.
Every figure here comes from the official Fantasy Premier League data and refreshes as the week goes on. We judge minutes first, then form against others in the same position, price movement and the next five fixtures.
