3 Chelsea players to consider for FPL in October
Reece James
James is a good FPL pick for a variety of interesting reasons. He is listed as a defender in FPL but usually plays further up the pitch, mainly as a right midfielder. His advanced position puts him in a position to get goal contributions. James ranks second for goals plus assists (2) at the club. He also ranks second behind Sterling for big chances created (2) at the club. James ranked second for Chelsea last season in goals plus assists as well, and big chances created. This season’s numbers indicate that James would rank high in goals and assists for the Blues this season again. James is a good candidate for FPL bonus points as well.
It is also worth noting that Chelsea’s next three opponents are against teams currently ranked between 15th and 17th in the league table. This could help these players gain momentum for the two opponents after that who are currently ranked 9th and 5th respectively.

The Blues aren’t playing well so far, so it’s understandable to be hesitant about getting their players in your FPL team, but the quality of CFC’s players and key performance indicators suggest that the Blues will not be dire for much longer and the above-mentioned players are likely to stand out when the Blues start firing again.
