Rogers and Palmer lead Chelsea FPL picks for GW10

Chelsea have teamed up with Fantasy Football Scout to offer hints, tips and advice for the 2026/27 Fantasy Premier League season. The partnership is aimed at helping managers win their mini-leagues, and this week's guide looks at the Blues players offering the best value, the most popular pick and the captaincy choice for Gameweek 10.

Morgan Rogers (£8.1m) is Chelsea's most popular player this week, with over 200,000 transfers in ahead of the Gameweek 10 deadline. The Englishman scored his fifth goal of the season and earned a share of the bonus against Man United, taking his total goal contributions for Chelsea in all competitions to ten (six goals and four assists).

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

Cole Palmer (£9.8m) is also proving popular. He scored his first goal since Gameweek 2 from the penalty spot against Man United last time out, and registered four shots on goal and created three chances. Palmer was one defensive contribution short of the 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.

In value 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 tally to 17 points in three Gameweeks. He has produced defensive contribution points twice this season in six starts and averages over seven DefCon per/90.

Estevao (£6.3m) also caught the eye against Man United, with the Brazilian unlucky not to return. A well-taken goal was narrowly ruled out for offside, and he recorded a match-high six shots, 12 penalty box touches and three chances created. The teenager was the cheapest Chelsea attacker to start in GW9, and could be a strong differential if he keeps his place.

For captaincy, Erling Haaland (£15.8m) is once again a safe choice for Man City's away trip to Nottingham Forest. The Norwegian has scored nine goals in the last eight Gameweeks, collecting 66 Fantasy points in that time with two double-digit hauls and 14 bonus points. 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 for shots on target with nine.
