Here, we look at which Blues players are the best value-for-money picks, why Morgan Rogers (£8.1m) is Chelsea’s most popular player this week and who to captain in Gameweek 10. 

The deadline is at 6.30pm GMT on Friday ahead of Coventry City’s trip to Everton.

Most popular Chelsea player of the week

Rogers is the most popular Chelsea player ahead of Gameweek 10 with over 200,000 transfers in. The Englishman netted his fifth goal of the season and claimed a share of the bonus against Man United, taking his total goal contributions in all competitions for Chelsea to ten (six goals and four assists). 

The attacker's ownership has reached 52 per cent, making Rogers the most-selected midfielder in Fantasy, and he has risen in price to £8.1m. In the last six Gameweeks, no Chelsea player has scored more points (31), while Rogers ranks joint-first for big chances (3), first for expected goals and second for expected goal involvement among Blues players. 

Also proving popular is Cole Palmer (£9.8m), who scored his first goal since Gameweek 2 from the penalty spot against Man United last time out. The Blues number 10 registered four shots on goal and created three chances for his team-mates. Palmer was also just one defensive contribution short of the required threshold for additional points. Since Gameweek 4, the England international has created five big chances, the second-most of any player. 

Sunderland’s underlying defensive data suggests Palmer will get plenty of opportunities on Sunday to build on his eight-point return from GW9. In the last six Gameweeks, the Black Cats have conceded a league-high 14 goals and rank second-worst for expected goals conceded.

Best value for money picks

Josh Acheampong (£4.5m) continues to establish himself as a reliable, budget defender. The England Under-21 international started for the fourth consecutive Gameweek and picked up a nine-point return thanks to three bonus points, taking his points tally to 17 in three Gameweeks. Furthermore, Acheampong has produced defensive contribution points twice this season in six starts, and averages over seven DefCon per/90. 

Offensively, Estevao (£6.3m) caught the eye of many Fantasy managers against Man United, with the Brazilian unfortunate not to return. As well as having a well-taken goal narrowly ruled out for offside, Estevao racked up a match-high six shots, 12 penalty box touches and three chances created. The teenager was the cheapest Chelsea attacker to start in GW9. If he can retain his place in the team going forward, Estevao could be a superb differential in FPL.

Captain's pick

Erling Haaland (£15.8m) is once again a safe captaincy choice for Man City’s away trip to Nottingham Forest. The Norwegian has scored nine goals in the last eight Gameweeks, racking up 66 Fantasy points in that time with two double-digit hauls and 14 bonus points. No player has had more shots on target or xGI than the league’s top-scorer, while Forest have kept just one clean sheet and are winless since Gameweek four.

Elsewhere, Alexander Isak (£9.2m) is an intriguing differential option against Crystal Palace. The Eagles have conceded a league-high 31 big chances in nine matches. The Liverpool forward has been bought by over 200,000 managers ahead of the deadline and has scored six goals, only Haaland has more. Isak ranks third among all forwards for xG with 4.35 and shots on target with nine.
