But Palmer landed himself in hot water by jumping the gun. At one point EA Sports FC joined his stream and wrote in the chat: “Err Cole, weren’t we going to do this a bit later? We’ll be live at 6pm UK!” Palmer’s account was then banned and his EAFC 27 content was removed – but not before the footage had done the rounds online. The England playmaker tagged EA and Twitch in an Instagram story which read: “I was only giving the people what they wanted… unban me pls.” Palmer is one of the most colourful personalities in the Premier League, and he was his usual entertaining self during his rule-breaking streaming session. He looked at his own 85-rated card and moaned: “I need a word with EA. They took two ratings off me.

Rogers’ overall rating is one lower than Palmer’s, but EA have made the former Aston Villa man marginally quicker. Palmer said: “76 pace? I don’t know how he’s got more pace than me but, EA sometimes, man, they’re a bit crazy.” The new Chelsea duo have been in sparkling form so far this season. Both have notched four goal contributions in as many Premier League games and done damage in the Carabao Cup, where Palmer has scored twice and Rogers has racked up four assists. Comment now
