Fantasy Premier League managers around the world can already think about which Chelsea players they want in their teams.
The start of the 2024/25 Premier League season is now only a month away, so a number of FPL player prices have been revealed.
Chelsea players were not as popular as usual last season as Mauricio Pochettino’s side were not competing at the top end of the table.
Plus, the West London club suffered several injuries which made it difficult to know which players were going to start each week.
New manager Enzo Maresca will be hoping for more consistency in the upcoming campaign, which should lead to his players becoming more highly owned by FPL managers.
The Chelsea Chronicle outlines every Chelsea player’s FPL price, including Cole Palmer and Christopher Nkunku.
Reece James (DEF) – £5.0m
Reece James is one of the best Premier League defenders but has struggled so much with injuries in recent seasons. With this price, FPL are assuming that the 24-year-old will miss several games this season because he has the attacking threat to be at least £6.0m.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (MID) – £6.0m
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was exceptional under Maresca in Leicester City’s Championship-winning campaign, scoring 12 goals and setting up another 14. He will find it difficult to nail down a place in Chelsea’s starting lineup but, if he can, £6.0m could be a low price for the English midfielder.
Raheem Sterling (MID) – £7.0m
Raheem Sterling has not performed as well at Chelsea as in his time with Manchester City. Having said that, the winger scored eight goals last season and is well capable of reaching double figures. He will not be in many FPL teams at the start of the season but a run of fine form could see him become a popular option.
Cole Palmer (MID) – £10.5m
Cole Palmer provided a remarkable 22 goals and 11 assists for Chelsea last season and was the highest-scoring player in FPL. At £5.0m, there has never been a better bargain in the history of the game. He is no longer a cheap option, however, after receiving the biggest price increase in FPL history.
Christopher Nkunku (FWD) – £6.5m
Christopher Nkunku’s price is one of the most surprising across every Premier League team. The Frenchman only started twice in the 2023/24 campaign and, yet, he still scored three times. If he can stay healthy, he will be almost everyone’s team come the end of the season.
Nicolas Jackson (FWD) – £7.5m
Nicolas Jackson had an underrated debut campaign at Stamford Bridge, scoring 14 goals – more than legendary Chelsea striker Didier Drogba did in either of his first two seasons – and providing five assists. His finishing often left a lot to be desired but his ability to get himself into positions to shoot is a real skill. Especially if the Blues do not sign a senior striker, £7.5m could be a reasonable price for Jackson.
