Marc Guiu (£4.4m) is set to make a very abrupt return to Chelsea, less than four weeks after he signed a season-long loan deal with Sunderland.
Liam Delap‘s (£6.4m) hamstring injury looks to be a serious one, so much so that the Blues are desperately seeking to bolster their attacking numbers before deadline day.
But rather than sign someone anew, Enzo Maresca’s side are looking to players already on the books.
Nicolas Jackson‘s (£6.5m) planned move to Bayern Munich looks to have been aborted at the 11th hour. It remains to be seen if he’ll be back in the Chelsea fold, seemingly against the player’s wishes, after the transfer window shuts.
And now Guiu is on his way back to west London after just two substitute league appearances for the Black Cats.

WHAT THE RECALL MEANS FOR GUIU’S OWNERS IN FPL
Guiu will become a Chelsea player again in FPL, so he now counts towards your allocated maximum number for the Blues.
Remember, you can’t select more than three players from the same club.
If you’ve already got three Chelsea players AND Guiu in your Fantasy squad, then the following rule now applies:

Basically, in this situation, your next transfer has to be a Chelsea player out.
