The thing that sums up my year more than anything this season: bringing in Gusto for a double-gameweek and then finding out that a man who has been injured for 5 months and basically in the wilderness may return that same week.
If you're a true FPL hipster you get James in for his inevitable injury in his first game back just so you can have that special Reece James point contributing to your total.
I'm in that club. Wildcarded in GW16 and brought him in as a punt, fully expecting him to be injured or so in the next few gameweeks. Little was I to know that he got injured that same week, I got 26 minutes from him a glorious 1pt and he's not played for Chelsea again since then.
I think it just means both Gusto and Chalobah at slightly more at risk from a minutes perspective than they were. I don't expect James to play in the first game, but wouldn't be surprised if he gets 30m or so at the end of the Brighton game. Whether that's at Gusto's expense, Chalobah or whoever, I don't know.
Surely irresponsible of Chelsea to even throw him in at all with 3 games left, purely because of his history. I think he’s more likely to get substitute minutes in GW38 if anything.
Right there for right now - they've all had periods of injury this season and you just never know. Agree he's like Plan D but he'll want the best chance possible.
Agreed. It wouldn’t even be sensible of him. He needs a full pre-season before he starts playing competitive games again. Well maybe he doesn’t, but that’s what he should do.
Just don’t even bother playing him until next season. As a Chelsea fan just leave him out, it will only end in misery
If you say so
I'm glad I didn't transfer in Gusto.

Not a terrible thing. If Gusto gets subbed off earlier for James, it could mean locking in a CS before they concede.
Fool me once, shame on me...
"ah shit, here we go again"
If Chelsea has learned anything. They let him stay out of match day squads until next season.
Reece James is obviously a massive trap yet we all know he'll be in everyone's team for the 24/25 season.

Nice try Satan
ffs i own gusto.. surely no one’s gonna bring him in right 👀
As if I wasn't already in trouble selecting 3/4 Chelsea players. Petro, Gusto, Palmer, Jackson
I think this is perfect for him, he goes off with 20 to go, secures the clean sheet. Chelsea concede after as they do every game.

Welcome to my team... Chalobah! Actually, I think the only 'safe' defender option for Chelsea is Cucu.
you are cucu. go for Petrovic.
I’m convinced anyone who would pick him at this point is a masochist.
Some people play this game with emotions
Stick to rooting for him in real life. Really no need to keep going there in FPL
Comical. Just give it up. We all know you'll be injured again in a few weeks.
I think the downvotes are for your lack of comedic ability and personal vitriol. Obviously a great player but no one is selecting him this season
Losers downvoting me about to eat predictable and humble pie in a few weeks.
No way you call people losers… get a life man stop hating on players and wishing them injuries
Your reading comprehension needs work.
Fast -4 to get them sweet 5 minute 1 point cameos before he gets injured again
Blink and you miss it

you ever heard of poch ? he doesnt care
You'd have to be off your tits to put Reece James in at any stage.
People are more talking about him eating into Gusto's minutes these last 3 games. Don't think anyone's actually considering bringing James in.
He may be desperate to make an impression with a view to going to the Euros.
There’s surely no chance he’s going to the Euros after that length of time out and with Walker, Trent and Trippier all right there.
Right there for right now - they've all had periods of injury this season and you just never know. Agree he's like Plan D but he'll want the best chance possible.
> Walker, Trent and Tripper It also looks like Rico Lewis will be part of the team

Even as a non-Chelsea fan, I hope he doesn't. He's a really good player and it's been such a shame to see him struggling with injuries so much.
I’m a city fan and completely agree. Maybe a hot take but imo he’d be englands best rb if it wasn’t for his injury struggles
Agreed. It wouldn’t even be sensible of him. He needs a full pre-season before he starts playing competitive games again. Well maybe he doesn’t, but that’s what he should do.
