Cole Palmer (MID, 10.5 m) and Marc Cucurella (DEF, 5.0 m) are back to training at Chelsea after their extra time off due to the European Championship this summer.
Pre-season: Chris Wood stars in the win for Nottingham Forest against Olympiacos
Our Pro Pundit: These are the best £5.5m midfielders in my opinion#FPLcommunity #FPL #PremierLeague #premierleague #fantasypremierleague #fpldraft #fpltipshttps://t.co/1kCFQ3BYFn

As we know, Palmer with England reached the final, and Cucurella with Spain won it that tournament, and they both were absent from the club’s summer tour of the USA.
No Ollie Watkins draft: Gabriel Jesus opened a lot of space in this team
From a Fantasy Premier League aspect of view, Palmer was the top scorer with 244 points last season, as his price from 5.0m did rise to 10.5, and he is the third most selected player in this moment for the new season after Alexander Isak (FWD, 8.5m) and Ollie Watkins (FWD, 9.0m).

Cucurella has more than solid ownership at Fantasy Premier League, as he is in almost 8% of the teams, and it’s very important to note that Chelsea have such favorable fixtures in the opening game weeks of the new season of the Premier League.

Chelsea will open the new season with the match against Manchester City at home, but after that, they are having six ‘green’ fixtures.
