after a wild GW23 that saw Manchester United stun Arsenal, Manchester City bench both Phil Foden and Erling Haaland, Bournemouth shock Liverpool, and struggling West Ham hit three past Sunderland, the long-awaited fixture swings are here, writes Fantasy Premier League expert Blake Hurst. This is the turning point FPL managers have been anticipating: those with a solid transfer plan can jump ahead, while others panic as form and fixtures flip overnight.
Yes, he's been quiet recently, but if you still own him, he's a definite hold for the next two fixtures. First up, a trip to Old Trafford against a Manchester United side with just one win in seven and one clean sheet in their last 15 - that's not exactly defensive form to fear. Foden also loves a derby, with seven goals in his last seven appearances against United.
Chelsea keen on Morgan Rogers Sources close to the player's situation have informed CaughtOffside that Chelsea are currently seen as the frontrunners in the race to sign Rogers. The London club have identified him as a key target in their 2026 squad planning, aiming to reinforce their attacking midfield options. The technical staff believe Rogers is well-suited to both the intensity of the Premier League and the competitive demands of European football. Chelsea's interest isn't just short-term; they're also factoring in his long-term development potential.
Exclusive: Liverpool have a clause in the Harvey Elliot to Aston Villa contract which allows them to meet the Morgan Rogers asking price and get his signature as early as January. Release clause only for Liverpool with Morgan rogers being extremely keen to make the move. Unclear on the price at the moment. Big one. Morgan Rogers to be Liverpool's next big signing?
Rogers has been exceptional for Aston Villa over the last 12 months, and he has established himself as one of the best playmakers in the league. He was rightly chosen as the PFA Young Player of the Year as well. Chelsea have been linked with Rogers as well. The midfielder has also attracted interest from Tottenham. It will be interesting to see if Arsenal come forward with an offer to sign him.
Chelsea and Aston Villa could reportedly be likely to hold some discussions over a deal involving both Nicolas Jackson and Morgan Rogers. Jackson has clearly fallen down the pecking order in Enzo Maresca's side after some unconvincing form during his two years at Stamford Bridge. With Chelsea now bringing in Joao Pedro and Liam Delap for this season, we're surely set to see Jackson leave before the end of the window.
