The young Chelsea midfielder's exceptional performance last season, where he amassed an impressive 244 points, has catapulted him into the premium bracket of FPL assets.

As shown in the Match Stats tool above, Palmer was involved in both goals and assists for Chelsea in the last five games of the season.

Palmer's breakthrough season saw him become a key player for Chelsea, consistently delivering goals, assists, and bonus points. His ability to play in multiple attacking positions, combined with his set-piece responsibilities, made him a favourite among FPL managers, with a selection rate of 100% with the top 100k managers by the end of the 2023/24 season. As managers prepare for the new season, Palmer's hefty price tag presents a significant dilemma, balancing his proven potential against the opportunity cost of investing such a large portion of the budget in a single player.
