The "curse" of the most-bought player in Fantasy Premier League struck once again in Gameweek 16, with Cole Palmer (£5.5m) becoming the latest player to blank.
The Chelsea midfielder was snapped up by 493,125 FPL managers ahead of Saturday's deadline but could only manage a one-point return in the 2-0 defeat at Everton.
It is the 11th time this season that the No 1 recruit in a Gameweek has immediately blanked.
