Lukaku to Chelsea šŸ”µ what does this mean for our FPL teams?

- A thread šŸ§µ
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 Ā£10.5 although I do have a funny feeling FPL towers will price him at Ā£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
Lukaku vs Kane 20/21

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