Cole Palmer emerged as the top FPL points-scorer last season at Chelsea, starting at 5m; his price has more than doubled for 2024/25 but remains a popular choice.
Despite his high-performance last season and recent Euro 2024 play, Palmer may be rested for Chelsea's season opener against Manchester City due to lack of match fitness.
New manager Enzo Maresca acknowledged the need for Palmer and several teammates to regain match fitness after a busy summer, indicating potential bench use.
Palmer's recent form post-Euro 2024 and his performance in pre-season suggest he remains integral to Chelsea's plans, albeit with cautious management of his fitness.
