well he is almost 24, not so sure how much potential is left to develop, but I understand your view concerning his goals, he did score 20 the previous season though and you may feel suspicious because Brighton are selling an attacker they bought for 35m for 60m. I feel the reason chelsea want him is because of his creativity, they haven't been looking for a proper 9 since they signed delap and honestly I am not against having all three in them team, delap, jackson and pedro. signing pedro doesn't affect Jackson but nkunku as pedro plays all the positions nkunku plays, cf, lw, ss/am.

Pedro is a good player, better him than spending 70m+ on ekitike or sesko
I agree with most of your points; however, I’m a bit skeptical about Pedro, as a significant portion of his goals have come from penalties. Take the 2023/24 season you mentioned, for example—he scored 20 goals in total, with 8 of those being penalties. In the Premier League, he managed 9 goals, 4 of which were from the spot.

Let’s not forget that our main issue has been converting chances in open play, especially in the Premier League. Based on the numbers he’s produced so far, there’s little to suggest he’ll outperform someone like Madueke or Neto in that regard—and that’s my main concern with his signing.

Of course, he could come in and prove to be a smart acquisition over time, but that remains to be seen.

Enzo Maresca should retain this formation. Lavia and Caicedo partnership is very solid (then Santos, KDH and Essugo should be their backup)

Let Enzo Fernandez takes over that Cole Palmer No.10 role (then Palmer can also play there when Enzo is unfit)

Cole Palmer goes back to RW.

I believe it will work

Palmeiras are missing 3/4 of their regular backline, including their captain, due to injury and suspensions

Lavia and Enzo will play. Andrey and Shin kicker Essugo in case the Brazil guys wán go physical

We should be fine.
Oh, I didn't know about their defence. We had better take advantage.

A backup for Cucurella is needed & sell Chilwell if he can't step up.
Petrovic should fight for no1 spot or anyone but Sanchez. Maresca needs to trust Nkunku more but he needs to sort his work rate. We're stacked in every dept already.

or Palmer becomes our first choice at lw with gittens as back up. Seeing as neto and madueke do well at rw and with estevao we would have 5 wingers, palmer can still play midfield though but we are still yet to see and understand what maresca wants to do with santos

tbh what better option does chelsea have, they either keep nkunku neither of sign joao pedro, he doesn't play rw though we have many options there

Enzo and Neto are players i have soft spot for, so it is difficult for me to criticize them. You could see in their eyes that they want to win for the team; i love players who want to win for the team.

Is it luck or kudos to medical department?

They are managing Reece better now. It's only Lavia that swear with his life that he will never be fit.

My preferred formation for next season

————————-Petrovic————————

—R. James——Chalobah—-Tosin——Cucurella—-

———————-Lavia—-Caicedo——————-

—————————Palmer———————-

——Neto—————Delap————-Gittens——

Yes, I trust Palmer to do a more dynamic job as a CAM than Enzo, as he is definitely the much pacier player
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by AirBere: 4:41pm On Jun 29, 2025

Good lineup, but Chalobah isn't solid enough to be a Chelsea starter yet. What are your suggested substitutes?
