Players to Target
Enzo Fernández
Enzo Fernández is in the form of his life, delivering attacking returns in six consecutive league games. Over the past six Gameweeks, the Chelsea vice-captain has contributed three goals and four assists, demonstrating the talent that led Chelsea to invest heavily in securing his services from Benfica in 2023.
Enzo has averaged 7.3 points per game over the last six GWs, with his price rising from £4.8M to £5.1M, and his ownership climbing to 9.6%.
Everton may look to keep things tight defensively, and Enzo’s vision for clinical passes could be crucial in unlocking a stubborn Everton side. Additionally, Enzo takes corners and free kicks and often arrives in the box, making him an intriguing midfield option for this weekend’s matchup.
Cole Palmer
Although Palmer blanked against Brentford in GW16, he still leads the charts in many key metrics. He is the second player to be named Player of the Week twice, with only Salah earning more, with three Player of the Week awards.
Currently sitting on 128 points with over 63.7% ownership (as of writing), Palmer has overtaken Salah (156 points, 63.6% ownership) as the most popular player in the league. Palmer has contributed 11 goals and 7 assists in just 16 league games, underscoring his importance to Chelsea’s attack despite the array of talented players at Maresca’s disposal.
Palmer ranks third in goals scored (11), third in expected goals (xG) with 10.33, third in shots on target (25), and first in total chances created (44).
With an expected goal involvement (xGI) of 13.90, Palmer leads the league ahead of Salah and Haaland, making him a must-have asset in FPL.
