Q: Are any Chelsea players worth buying?
Q. Is it worth giving Cole Palmer two more Gameweeks?

A: Let’s get the Cole Palmer (£11.1m) question out of the way first. The England international has scored just once over the last six Gameweeks and registered one assist, which has coincided with Chelsea’s slump in form. However, his numbers in home matches are worth repeating.

Bryan Mbeumo (£8.0m) and Mohamed Salah (£13.7m), with nine each, are the only midfielders to have scored more goals in home matches than Palmer (eight). Only Antoine Semenyo (£5.7m), with 56, has taken more shots than his 50.

He is top for shots on target (24) in home matches amongst midfielders and also top for chances created in home matches (34). Only Bukayo Saka (£10.2m, 13) has created more big chances than his nine.

So, Palmer is definitely a hold for the next two. Whether you captain him over Salah, that’s down to your risk appetite. It is worth mentioning that Palmer has had only five big chances in home matches this season. 

Looking at the rest of the team, the defence is a no-go with the goalkeeper situation particularly off-putting.

In attack, the other three options are Enzo Fernandez (£4.7m), Christopher Nkunku (£5.7m) and Pedro Neto (£6.2m). Neto played as the striker against Aston Villa, with Nkunku operating on the wing. The Portugal international was quite effective, making similar runs to Nicolas Jackson (£7.7m). If I was to take a punt, Neto would be the one I’d go for. Even with Jackson etc back after the international break, the winger should retain his place. 

Enzo’s role seems to change depending on the opponent but he is a decent punt for the next two fixtures. I still prefer Neto, however.

Q: Opinions on Jarrod Bowen in the short term until a Gameweek 30 Wildcard?

A: Jarrod Bowen (£7.3m) has now scored two goals since his return in Gameweek 24.

It is worth mentioning how talismanic he is for the Hammers. The 28-year-old is top amongst West Ham players for shots (55), shots on target (24) and big chances (nine). He is also their top chance creator with 40 attempted assists. 

West Ham have an excellent run of fixtures for the next four, playing Leicester City, Newcastle United, Everton and Wolverhampton Wanderers. So, I really like the pick; I can’t find any reason not to recommend it. 

Q: Is there any reason not to Free Hit in Gameweek 29 if you have a bunch of blankers you’d prefer not to sell?

A: Based on what we know so far, I think it is perfectly reasonable to Free Hit in Gameweek 29 if you have good players you are happy keeping. You likely have a load of players from Aston Villa, Newcastle, Crystal Palace and Liverpool, with the latter trio having good fixtures either side of Blank Gameweek 29 as well. If you are not planning to use your Wildcard before Ganeweek 33, it makes even more sense as you get to keep your Palace and Newcastle contingent for Double Gameweek 32. 

The caveat to this of course is that we might have a bunch of teams that double in Gameweek 33 and blank in Gameweek 34. That is dependent on FA Cup results and the scheduling, which is unknown at the moment.
