Chelsea Vs Bournemouth FPL: Who Hauled And What It Means
The call — Chelsea 5 Bournemouth 1: Henderson posts 18 at £4.9m Henderson scored twice, assisted another and took all three bonus points at Stamford Bridge on 10 October. Eighteen points. He costs £4.9m. Almost nobody owns him — fewer than 1 in 100 managers. That is the line from gameweek 6.
What has not being with FFIQ cost you this season?

He played the full 90 in midfield. Two goals, one assist, maximum bonus. One match is one match. Before Saturday he had no returns of note at this price. The sample is a single start. But a £4.9m midfielder who starts and plays 90 minutes for a side that scored five is a squad answer, not a punt.
The rest of the Chelsea returns were orderly. João Pedro scored twice in 71 minutes for 12 points. About 7 in 10 managers own him at £7.7m. He delivered. Rogers scored once — 9 points, £7.8m, about 4 in 10 own him. Palmer supplied two assists for 8 points at £9.7m, owned by about 2 in 10. No Chelsea clean sheet: Evanilson scored for Bournemouth and finished with 7 points at £6.0m.
Two flags from the teamsheets. Lavia came off after 18 minutes. Chelsea have not stated why. Gusto played only the final 2 minutes. Neither matters to many squads — both sit under 1 in 100 ownership — but Lavia's exit is the one to monitor.
Bournemouth's afternoon: four yellow cards, no clean sheet, and Truffert on minus 1. Tavernier, owned by close to 1 in 10, returned a single point. He has now given his owners nothing from this fixture.
The calls. João Pedro: hold. He scores, 7 in 10 of you have him, there is nothing to decide. Palmer: hold — two assists is a return. Tavernier: sell if the bench needs clearing. Henderson: buy at £4.9m if he is named to start again. A midfielder at that price who plays 90 minutes goes in the squad.
