3 Chelsea players to consider for FPL in October

Raheem Sterling of Chelsea

In the context of FPL, Sterling is Chelsea’s most productive player so far. FPL has him as a midfielder, which means that he’d also get clean sheet points. He has scored the most goals for the club so far, and many of them haven’t even been from big chances. This is important because the Blues don’t create many big chances, which means that a player that doesn’t need them to score is extremely valuable in FPL, especially if that player is also the most likely to get on the end of big chances.

The England international’s style of play, unfortunately, doesn’t make him a consistent choice for bonus points. However, he’s definitely very close to getting assists points because he has also created the most big chances for Graham Potter’s men in the Premier League this season. His trickery also means he’d likely win many FPL assist points from winning penalties. All these point to Sterling being your best chance of getting steady points from a CFC player.

Thiago Silva

While it’s hardly advisable to get centerbacks in your FPL team because of the fragility of their position and the fact that they don’t even need to play bad to get 0 FPL points, Silva is the exception to the rule for several reasons. Silva is extremely good at his job, and that means making and completing a lot of actions relevant to his role. In addition to getting the points for his clean sheets, you’re also likely to get bonus points, because of how active he is as a defender. Whenever Chelsea pulls off impressive defensive displays, he’s likely to be at the center of it all and as a result, gather a handful of bonus points compared to other players. Silva is also currently one of Potter’s main aerial threats, which means that he’s always a candidate for the occasional goal from a CB.
