Chelsea Meltdown: Should FPL Managers Abandon Palmer, João Pedro and the Blues?
A combined 270,000+ managers have already sold João Pedro and Palmer this week alone, and a CHE vs MCI clash rated difficulty 4 for both sides offers little hope of a reprieve. The question is not just whether to sell -- it is whether there is a single Chelsea player still worth owning in your FPL squad. With form across the board sitting at 2.0 and Chalobah ruled out until 2 May, the numbers tell a brutal story.
Owned by 50.3% of managers, form: 2.0. The most-sold player in GW32 by volume. Facing Man City (away, diff 4) with no attacking returns to speak of, the case for holding is almost non-existent. B. Fernandes (form 11.5, £10.3m) is the standout alternative with a far friendlier run.
SELL -- 91%Owned by 16.2% at £10.3m equivalent bracket, form just 2.0. Enzo is also bleeding owners (-80,873 transfers out, 14.6% ownership, form 2.0). The CHE home fixture against Man City is rated difficulty 4 -- one of the hardest matchups remaining in GW32. Gordon (NEW | MID, form 10.5, £7.4m) offers a compelling differential upgrade.
SELL -- 88%- B. Fernandes (MUN | MID) -- form 11.5, £10.3m -- leading transfers in this week
- Saliba (ARS | DEF) -- form 11.0, £6.1m -- premium defensive option
- Gordon (NEW | MID) -- form 10.5, £7.4m -- budget mid with huge upside
- Welbeck (BHA | FWD) -- £6.2m -- affordable João Pedro replacement
- Tarkowski (EVE | DEF) -- £5.7m -- cheap defensive cover
