Chelsea Vs Hull City FPL: Who Hauled And What It Means
The call — Chelsea 2-2 Hull City — GW4, Stamford Bridge, 12 September Belloumi scored twice inside 59 minutes at Stamford Bridge. Two goals, two bonus, 13 points. Then Hull took him off. He costs £5.0m and next to nobody owns him — fewer than 1 in 100 managers.
That is the headline. Here is what the scoreline did to your team.
João Pedro delivered. A goal, an assist, three bonus, 12 points over 90 minutes. He costs £7.7m and about 7 in 10 managers own him. The template got paid.
Rogers returned too. A goal and a bonus point in 90 minutes for 8 points. £7.6m, owned by between 3 and 4 in 10. He has a place in Chelsea's XI and he is producing.
Palmer got 5. One assist, no goal, no bonus, 90 minutes. At £9.7m and nearly 3 in 10 owned, an assist is a return, not the return his price demands. One match. It counts for the week, nothing more.
The Hull defence gave its owners nothing. No clean sheet. Tzolakis made five saves and scored 2 points — 1 in 10 own him. Ajayi played 90 minutes for 1 point; just over 1 in 10 own him. Mendy came off on 58 minutes for 1 point. Giles picked up an assist for 4 points at £4.0m. McBurnie assisted and was booked — 4 points.
One line for the watchlist. Estêvão lasted 4 minutes for Chelsea. One point. Fewer than 1 in 100 own him, so the damage is contained, but his owners should note the number.
Now the Belloumi question, because it will be asked. Two goals at £5.0m is a receipt. It is also one match, and he did not finish it — Hull withdrew him on 59 minutes. We do not know his role next week and we will not guess. What the facts support: he goes on the watchlist, not in the team.
The call: hold João Pedro — he is doing the job 7 in 10 of you bought him for. Hold Rogers. Palmer owners hold on the assist. Do not buy Belloumi on one afternoon; watch his next start.
