Chelsea 2-2 Hull: FPL Lessons — Rogers & João Pedro Return, Palmer Assists

The short answer

Chelsea's three major FPL attackers all returned against Hull, but the defence again disappointed.

• Morgan Rogers scored.
• João Pedro assisted Rogers and later scored Chelsea's equaliser.
• Cole Palmer assisted João Pedro.
• Mohamed Belloumi scored both Hull goals.

Rogers keeps returning

Rogers converted another strong attacking role into a league goal.

His price remains well below Palmer's, keeping him one of the best ways to access Chelsea without using a premium slot.

Verdict: BUY / strong HOLD.

João Pedro delivers both goal and assist

João Pedro produced two direct returns and remains one of the cleanest Chelsea routes from the forward slot.

Verdict: HOLD / BUY.

Palmer still returns

Palmer did not score, but his assist preserved the premium route.

Penalties and central creative responsibility keep him ahead for captaincy-type fixtures, although Rogers and João Pedro are taking a meaningful share of Chelsea's attacking returns.

Chelsea defence is the concern

Hull scored twice at Stamford Bridge.

That makes it harder to justify paying a premium for Chelsea defenders purely for clean-sheet potential.

OneFPL verdict

Rogers and João Pedro rise. Palmer remains premium. Chelsea defence falls.
