CHE V BOU Team News: The Confirmed Line-Ups
The call — Teamsheets are in: João Pedro, Rogers and Palmer all start for Chelsea against Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge (kick-off 3pm UK, 10 October). That covers the three Chelsea players the field actually owns. João Pedro (£7.7m) leads the line in a 3-4-2-1. About 7 in 10 managers have him. Rogers (£7.8m) starts behind him — about 4 in 10 own that…
What has not being with FFIQ cost you this season?
One squad, picked before a ball was kicked and run for five gameweeks on three transfers — no hits taken. Scored on FPL’s own results.
Your name and your FPL team name. That is all it takes, and we will have your answer before you have finished reading this sentence.

Nothing Chelsea-owned sits on the bench. Welbeck (£5.9m, under 1 in 10) is a substitute. Estêvão (£6.3m) is a substitute. If you hold either, your bench order matters.
The start that almost nobody has: Neto (£6.5m) is in the XI on the right of the midfield four. Barely 1 in 10 own him. Same story for Bournemouth — Rayan (£6.3m) starts in the three behind the striker, and Evanilson (£6.0m) leads the line. Both are owned by roughly 1 in 30 managers or fewer.
The elevens in full. Chelsea: Martinez; Acheampong, Lacroix, Colwill; Neto, Henderson, Caicedo, Chavarria; Palmer, Rogers; João Pedro. Bournemouth: Petrović; Smith, Hill, Silva, Truffert; Adams, Christie; Rayan, Tavernier, Brooks; Evanilson.
Chelsea's back three is Acheampong, Lacroix, Colwill — Lacroix (£5.9m) is the only one with meaningful ownership at about 1 in 15. Gusto, Fofana and Hato are substitutes. Martinez (£5.0m) keeps goal. For Bournemouth, Truffert (£5.4m) and Tavernier (£6.1m) are the most-owned names in the away XI, at roughly 1 in 30 and 1 in 14.
What this forces. Every template Chelsea asset starts — play them, no exceptions. Tavernier and Truffert owners play them too. Welbeck and Estêvão go to the bench behind any confirmed starter you have. If your captaincy sat on João Pedro, Rogers or Palmer, the teamsheet gives you no reason to move it.
The call: start every confirmed starter you own, bench Welbeck and Estêvão, and leave the armband where the teamsheet put it — on a Chelsea starter.
