Lukaku to Chelsea 🔵 what does this mean for our FPL teams?

- A thread 🧵
First off, he's not new to FPL managers. He knows the league inside out

12/13 with WBA : 17g/7a
13/14 with EVE : 15g/8a
14/15 with EVE : 10g/5a
15/16 with EVE : 18g/7a
16/17 with EVE : 25g/6a
17/18 with MUN : 16g/7a
18/19 with MUN : 12g/1a
21/22 with Chelsea : ???
There are so many scenarios being thrown around atm. It's still extremely early to know how and who Tuchel will choose to line up with Lukaku as our ST

It could be a front 3 of Werner - Lukaku - Havertz. So many scenarios so nothing is concrete
I don't see Havertz as a False 9 with Lukaku as our ST but Havertz thrives having an all out number 9 in front of him

I expect Havertz to play as the RF/LF/SS or even the #10 role if Tuchel decides to switch systems. A formidable partnership will be formed
We can see Lukaku's heat map that he enjoys to drift on the right side cutting in on his left foot either to shoot/create. He doesn't mind dropping deep either

He loves being in the box. He scored 23 goals inside the box last season at Inter
Perfect clip showing the traits he'll bring to Chelsea
Lukaku at Chelsea finally gives us a premium captaincy option week in and week out. More headaches but good ones

I would be ecstatic if he comes in at £10.5 although I do have a funny feeling FPL towers will price him at £11.0 which would be fair imo
Our top goal scorer in the PL last season was Jorginho. A ST was needed more than anything and Lukaku fits the tag

Two world class strikers no doubt. Both will be fighting for the golden boot again this season

Dominic Solanke to Tottenham just makes sense. Let me explain why.

1.) Ange Postecoglou teams are notoriously known for their high intensity & aggressive pressing. Solanke had the most pressures from a ST/CF last season due to Andoni Iraola's front-footed style of play.

🧵cont Image
Bournemouth were one of the best teams for ‘direct attacks’ last season.

Solanke would fit in like a glove under Ange Postecoglou. He fits the stylistic approach of Tottenham and what the manager wants in a forward. He has the experience of working under Andoni Iraola.
Image
Image
What Solanke offers off-the-ball is influential beyond the opposition's box. He applies pressure and can win the ball high up the pitch, he leads the line well, he knows how to position himself to defend from the front and his work rate is exceptional.

A deep dive into every Chelsea asset for the 23/24 season. My final thoughts before the Friday deadline. #FPL

[🧵] Thread Image
I really like our fixture run for the first 8 weeks. Back to back (H) games against Luton and Forest should ignite a lot of transfers especially if we see certain options emerging in the first two weeks.
Image
Image
Jackson's stellar pre-season isn't a secret. In this rejuvenated Pochettino system, he fits in like a duck to water. I'm predicting the bandwagon will start by GW 3.

Debunking the myth that Bruno Fernandes plays DM when Casemiro is suspended. #FPL

[Thread] 🧵 ImageImage
The games that Casemiro was previously suspended in are highlighted in red, which are the games I'll focus on in this thread.

• Arsenal
• Leeds x 2
• Leicester ImageImage
Against Leicester, Bruno operated as the right winger, turning creator from a slightly narrow position.

Fred + Sabitzer were the two tasked to play deeper in Casemiro's absence. This allowed Weghorst to play as the 10 and Rashford to make runs in behind. ImageImage

Saïd Benrahma (£5.5m) has caught my eye in recent games 🇩🇿

In this passage of play, he gets time and space to recieve the pass. He scans, controls, and threads a through ball to Antonio whose 1v1 vs DDG. ImageImage
Benrahma drifts towards the vacated space in the box . The left channel and LHS is where he's a major threat to defences. He's a superb ball-striker which often goes under the radar.

He scores a beautiful goal against United finessing his shot in the top bin. ImageImage
Cresswell provides the overlap confusing the defender on whether he should track him or shut Benrahma down.

Benrahma has a few seconds and cuts inside on his preferred right foot and has a pop at goal. ImageImage

I'm considering Haaland ➡️ Havertz for BGW 28, so I looked at some of his recent games. 🇩🇪

Sterling/Havertz have been rotating positions against different opposition. There's much more volume of vertical passes being made under Potter ImageImage
The role Havertz plays is always an intriguing one. In this scenario he drops deep into the RHS, has a lot of time/space and opens up the defence with a superb through ball to Chilwell. ImageImage
I've been crying out for Potter to utilize the WB system. It makes such a difference when Chilwell/James are stretching play/overloading the full width of the pitch.

The Art of “La Pausa”

[Thread] 🧵 Image
La Pausa - Spanish for "The Pause", this trait is extremely useful. There's a sudden change in tempo that opens up new spaces. La Pausa is the ability to temporarily pause a player —— slowing down the game by attracting a defender and inducing them to move towards the ball.
After a defender has been lured, the player in possession accelerates play quickly and changes rythym with passes, dribbling or movement in a direction that takes advantage of the fact that the defender has moved closer to them, exploiting the vacant space left behind.
