Fikayo Tomori is a 21-year-old centre-back with a very promising future ahead of him. His loan spell at Derby County last season augmented his relationship with boss Frank Lampard and the pair’s chemistry is on show for everyone this season at Chelsea.

The Blues' two-window transfer ban means that they’ve had to make the most of what they’ve got. Thankfully, what they’ve got is a side bursting at the brim with talent, offering a wide range of positions, ages and traits for Lampard to choose from.

So, the transfer ban isn’t quite as dramatic as it sounds for Chelsea. It, at last, has given the fans at Stamford Bridge a chance to see the young talents the club had invested their time and resources on. Safe to say the fans must be delighted with what they’ve seen so far.

Tomori is just one of many players who have been given that chance and flourished. You can expect to see the defender play in most of Chelsea’s matches this season, which makes him a solid pick for an FPL‌ side.

Tomori costs just £4.7m and has bagged 19 points so far this season so he is certainly one to keep on the shortlist.
