The 2025/26 Fantasy Premier League game has been launched, and Chelsea fans will be quick to see how much of their £100m budget they will have to part ways with to bring in Blues’ players.
Club World Cup final hero Cole Palmer was the third-highest points scorer last season, despite the fact he went a number of weeks without registering a goal or assist in the second half of the campaign.
The England international will set FPL users back £10.5m, however after contributing 56 goals and assists across his last two Premier League seasons it makes it difficult to look past him.
New rules in the game this year will see players awarded points for reaching 10 combined clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles. This could make Moises Caicedo a cut-price option, with him costing just £5.5m.
Enzo Fernandez is the biggest bargain on Fantasy Premier League this season
Looking at other Chelsea options provides very intriguing value for money, and one player who fits that bill is Enzo Fernandez, who is available for £6.5m.
The World Cup winner went from three goals and two assists under Mauricio Pochettino to 13 combined in 36 league games in Enzo Maresca’s first campaign at Stamford Bridge, with his position changing to see him make more of an impact on the attack.
Fernandez added the Club World Cup to his international trophy from 2022 this summer, and impressed greatly with his performances out in the United States.
Reece James described the Argentine as ‘amazing’ ahead of the final against PSG, and his performance backed that up.
Despite multiple additions in the attack already this summer, Fernandez looks set to be a regular starter for the Blues next season, and his exploits throughout the 2024/25 season suggest he could be an extraordinary bargain.
Fernandez way ahead of other £6.5m options in FPL
A number of other players who are the same value that Fernandez is provide far less promise over what they will provide next season.
Federico Chiesa, who hardly featured last season and scored just seven points in the game, costs the same price that the Chelsea man will cost.
Jack Grealish is currently training alone at Manchester City, and also sits at the £6.5m range. Grealish has previously been on Chelsea’s radar for a potential transfer.
Other Chelsea midfielders in this price range include Estevao Willian and Jamie Gittens, with neither yet making their debuts for the club.
