Palmer scored twice as Chelsea drew 2–2 with Burnley, earning 15 points for his performance, or 30 points as captain.

Ollie Watkins (£9.0m) was trusted as captain by 800,000+ managers, but disappointed in Aston Villa's 2-0 win against local rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers and was not involved in a single goal. half time
Despite being at the top of the fantasy player standings, Watkins has now been blanked in three straight outings and is already the top-selling player in Gameweek 31.
No.1 armband choice Holland has the confidence of 3.6 million managers in Manchester City's home encounter against Arsenal on Sunday.
Encouragingly, the Norwegian scored and provided two assists in the relevant competition last season.

I want Malo (£4.2m) featured in the top five transfers but, unlike his high-flying Chelsea team-mate, endured a frustrating afternoon recording a solitary point on the right.
It wasn't for lack of effort, however, as the cut-price defender created four chances, including one big one, and took three shots.
Son and Rodrigo Muniz (£4.6m) for their new owners, scoring in their respective matches.
A home meeting with Luton Town proved the perfect tonic for Son as Plank bounced back from a two-point deficit away to Fulham in Gameweek 29.
Tottenham Hotspur won 2–1, with Son scoring the winning goal to take 10 points.
Muniz, meanwhile, continued his fine form with a goal for Sheffield United. Over the past eight game weeks, he brings his total to 62 points, the most of any player over that span.
Salah is the most bought player
More than a million managers came to Salah for Gameweek 30.
