Chelsea email staff over inside information in fantasy games
Post
📰 Chelsea have emailed staff warning them not to use inside information in fantasy games.
📌 Key points
📧 Chelsea emailed staff about using inside information in fantasy games.
🔍 It followed claims of leaks before the Tottenham game about João Pedro.
🩹 Pedro has not played since the Everton win.
🗣️ Alonso said he is "not into the fantasy team thing".
🏟️ Chelsea host Leeds on 21 November.
📝 What happened
📧 The False 9 reports that Chelsea emailed staff about using inside information in Fantasy Premier League and other public gaming platforms. It followed claims that people close to the club removed Pedro from their fantasy teams before the Tottenham kick-off.
🛑 The club reportedly sees it as an isolated case and does not expect further restrictions.
🩹 Pedro has not played since the Everton win. BBC Sport reports a quad problem, while official FPL data lists a thigh injury, 0% chance of playing next round and no return date. Asked about it, Xabi Alonso said he is "not into the fantasy team thing" and did not know.
📊 By the numbers
• Pedro: 0% chance of playing next round (official FPL data)
• Chelsea lost 1-0 at Sunderland
• Next game: Leeds at home, 21 November, 15:00
🔭 Why it matters
A claim that inside information reached fantasy teams can become a club-management issue. Pedro's availability against Leeds on 21 November is the next question.
