Not quite accurate. Re. the injury the extent wasn't known with rumblings that it was a persistent problem along with Aké recalled. Add in that quite alot were on wildcard and Chelsea, on the back of conceding twice in both their previous league games, had some tricky upcoming fixtures. So not at all an unreasonable move to make i don't think.

I wouldn't say completely unreasonable either. In that the only 'must have' player in the game is probably Sanchez. But those who transferred him out knew he would almost certainly start today, and what his recent performances had shown him capable of. How much can one really complain in that situation?

I'd understand the feeling of frustration with the game (rather than frustration with ones self) a bit more if it was something like the Costa situation where it really looked like someone would play and they go get that score, or if a player had been putting together woeful performances, and then all of a sudden turns into Messi the week they're transferred out.

There were reports he's been carrying an injury for quite some time. Not that he had just been injured, if he's had it for some time it's unlikely he'd be dropped all of a sudden. Having seen a lot of his matches I'm not surprised at a big score from him, it's been coming.
Alonso plays hull next week. So I don't really see it as being harsh for people who sold an inform player because he had one poor return (spurs) and there was gossip of a niggley injury.

Get in Pedro

I think for people that wildcarded last week or this, the decision to keep him wasn't that straightforward. Rose/Walker/Baines/Bellerin all looked like good options with good fixtures. And when you throw in the injury doubts and tricky fixtures they had coming up, I can see why many including myself got rid.

Got rid of Alonso to facilitate getting in Giroud, didnt have a bad week so far but keeping him would have made it a great week. Chambers CS as his replacement is something at least

Not really. 11 times in previous 14 he got 6 or more points. Wasn't as if he wasn't returning points.
Injury fear was an ongoing thing that was being managed

In fairness a Snapchat of him on a physio table with a few sad and angry emoij from Alonso himself was a bit more than a media report.

I agree. But after Friday, and Conte saying nothing, we probably should've assumed he'd play.

I don't mind getting burned. It's the nature of FPL. I just hate it when you seem to get horrendously punished for a call like that!

Lovely strike, deserved to go in

He's benefiting from Hazard playing centrally definitely unlucky not to have the hat trick there.

Thank god he only has 8% ownership...It could be worse for non owners.

Sold Alonso today. So much talk about an injury and with Ake being recalled, decided to sell as I'm sick of uncertainty surrounding my players.

Absolutely sums up the season. Utterly punished.
