WHAT HAPPENED?
Palmer was first asked if he knew about his valuation in FPL this year, which the Chelsea star answered correctly. He was then asked to share his thoughts on the figure, to which the attacking midfielder replied: "Bit dear." Then he was asked whether everyone should have him in their team, to which he answered: "If they want points." He was further pushed on whether he could guarantee goals and assists, to which Palmer replied: "We'll see, won't we?"

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Palmer saw a sudden dip in his goal-scoring form in the second half of the 2024-25 campaign. The England international ended up with 15 Premier League goals in the end, as Chelsea secured a Champions League berth. In the Club World Cup, though, Palmer returned to his very best and starred in the final with a brace as the Blues thrashed Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 to clinch their second trophy of the season.
WHAT NEXT FOR CHELSEA?
Enzo Maresca's side will kick off the new season this Sunday as they host Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge. Palmer will hope to get off the mark in fantasy football.

Who will win the 2025-26 Premier League title?
Yahoo Sports contributors Christian Polanco and guest host Stefano Fusaro make picks for the top finishers in 2025-26 Premier League and consider if Liverpool is set up to repeat as champions. Hear the full conversation on the 'The Cooligans' podcast - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you listen. View more Video Transcript Top topic presented by Buchanan's Blended Scotch Whiskey and official FIFA World Cup 26 supporter Nosamos Almund with a Bucanita on hand. All right, so please give us your top four in the Premier League this season. No shock. I'm gonna go with Liverpool to win again. Look, I understand that going back to back is extremely difficult, but when they've brought in the type of players that they have, I think it's to go after multiple. Titles this season. There are some challenges. I still think they're the best side top to bottom in the Premier League, so I'm going for Liverpool to win. Even though they lost the Community Shield. I mean, that's, I mean, it's not great, let me ask you a question. It's a stupid trophy anyway, right? I mean, and now if they would have won, I would have been like, oh, it's a glorious trophy. It's a very important one, but they lost, so we can say it's a stupid trophy. That was almost. Wake-up call in my opinion. Uh, to go real quick through the other top four. So I'm going to Liverpool to win. Chelsea second, Man City third, Arsenal fourth. Those are my top four. Chelsea, I think, is going to have a fantastic season. I think they will, they will be fighting, um, for the Premier League. I think they will be fighting, uh, by the end of the season, even maybe in the Champions League as well. I, I think it's has a very deep side. That has so many options, and I feel like they're ready to make the next step. Man City, they're gonna come back and have a great season. I don't think it's gonna be as bad as they were last year. They will win something this year. Not sure what they'll win, but I do think that Pep's not gonna let this go down the drain, down the toilet again, and I think that they have had enough signings that have come in to kind of replace some of the players that have that have out that have left the club, like Jack Grealish and some others as well. Uh, and I think Arsenal. You know, I think a lot of people are picking Arsenal to win the Premier League, and I'm just asking, um, have they done enough? Is Victor D Joker is the guy who's going to finally score 25 goals in a season for Arsenal? You know, the last guy who scored 25 goals in a season for Arsenal? Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. That's how long. That it's been without a 25-goalscorer in a season. I don't know if Victor Join is going to be that guy. If he is, then I may be wrong about my prediction. But as of now, I still don't think that they've done enough to push them forward and be a better team than Liverpool or even Chelsea with how deep they are now. Close

Louis Rees-Zammit signs with Bristol Bears on return to rugby
BRISTOL, England (AP) — Wales winger Louis Rees-Zammit signed with Bristol Bears on Thursday in a resumption of his rugby career after an 18-month spell in American football. The 24-year-old Rees-Zammit announced two weeks ago that ' it's time to come home ' after spending all of last season on the practice squad of the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars. 'Bristol Bears was the obvious choice for me,' he said in the team's announcement. 'The style of rugby the team play — all about entertaining the fans and growing the game — perfectly aligns to how I want to play and how I express myself on and off the field.' Rees-Zammit had left English rugby club Gloucester in early 2024 to join the NFL's international player pathway program. He spent five months working as a running back with the Kansas City Chiefs before switching to receiver with the Jaguars, but he never made an active roster. In rugby union, Rees-Zammit has scored 14 tries in 32 test appearances for Wales and was selected on the British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa in 2021. Rees-Zammit was considered one of the world's most exciting rugby players before leaving to chase an NFL dream. He plans to pick up where he left off. 'I want to get fans out of their seats, create exciting moments and help people fall in the love with the game,' he said. "I'm excited to return to rugby at a club that demands those values. I'm looking forward to working with my teammates, Pat Lam and the coaches and all the backroom team to bring success to the Bears.' ___ AP rugby:

How to watch Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley live: Stream, TV channel, team news, prediction
The Thomas Frank era officially begins on Saturday (10 am ET), when Tottenham Hotspur host newly promoted Burnley to kick of the 2025-26 Premier League season. WATCH — Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley Frank replaced Ange Postecoglou as Spurs manager this summer — just weeks after the Aussie delivered the club its first trophy since 2008 — and Tottenham Hotspur legend Heung-min Son decided it was time for him to move on as well, so say it's been a summer of change and transition would be a massive understatement. Cristian Romero has replaced Son as captain and everyone else is back from last season's Europa League-winning team, with the noted addition of Mohammed Kudus ($74 million, from West Ham) in Son's place. James Maddison (torn ACL) and Dejan Kulusevski (knee) are both missing in central midfield, where Frank's options are limited to ball-winners and all-action types. Spurs will be a dangerous counter-attacking and set-piece side this year, if their goals against PSG in the UEFA Super Cup are any indication, and that raises the floor for last season's 17th-place finishers but lowers their ceiling at the same time. Burnley have been plenty busy themselves this summer, preparing for life in the top tier once again. A dozen players have already been signed with transfer fees attached,and it's a baker's dozen if you include Axel Tuanzebe, who signed as a free agent from recently relegated Ipswich Town. Scott Parker's Clarets were promoted back to the Premier League (again) after finishing 2nd last season, their first back in the Championship (again). It marked the 4th straight season that Burnley have either been promoted or relegated, as they yo-yo back and forth, clearly too good for the second tier but also miles off the pace the last time they were in the top flight (24 points from 38 games, relegated by 8 points). For live updates and highlights throughout Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley, check out PST's live blog coverage below. How to watch Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley live, stream link and start time Kick off time: 10 am ET, Saturday Venue: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium TV Channel: Peacock Streaming: Stream live on Peacock Tottenham Hotspur team news, focus OUT: James Maddison (torn ACL - MORE), Dejan Kulusevski (knee), Destiny Udogie (knee), Radu Dragusin (knee), Yves Bissouma (disciplinary), Kota Takai (foot) Burnley team news, focus OUT: Zeki Amdouni (knee), Jordan Beyer (knee), Bashir Humphreys (thigh), Manuel Benson (achilles) | QUESTIONABLE: Martin Dubravka (shoulder), Connor Roberts (undisclosed), Zian Flemming (fitness) Tottenham Hotspur vs Burnley prediction Based on their Super Cup performance, Spurs are well equipped to knock off some of the 'bigger' sides from around Europe in the Champions League this season, but without Maddison or Kulusevski they're still probably going to struggle when they have lots of the ball and have to break down an organized defense. Spurs 1-0 Burnley.
