2021 squad was far superior than this young team.

1. James better than Gusto in rb
2. Tiago and Rudiger better than Cowil and Cholabah at CB
3. Conte better than Cucurella at LB
4. Kante better than Caceido at CM
5. Mendy better than Sanchez


That's more than half of the team.

Who is Conte?

So they have scrapped Assistant Manager this coming season...

airmark:
Useful players are showing their medals and cup on the field with their families, after playing their hearts out, your glory thief is doing his own in one corner of his bathroom.

Very predictable.

Reason why I posted this earlier.

John Terry must be useless in 2012. He was a glory thief.

airmark:
He joined a Ucl semifinalist, we will see if your Jakujaku Jackson will be starting for the World champions or join a Ucl finalist.

Doesn't change the fact that Madueke can't post his version of the image below.

Deal with it.

pamcode:
Wahala.

Na so hand touch boss ibime last season?

Wahala. My lateness in requesting for code last season dey part of wetin dull last season.

Na today you know say Ibime don wash?

He is like present Man Utd.. Treble winners 26 years ago, laughing stock today.

Him dey collect woto woto steady..

I saw my team, FC McKane, was asterisked because I'm not a 'regular' on the thread. Firstly, I've been a regular on Nairaland FPL since 2014/2015 and never missed a season since then. I've won the Carling Cup, being a finalist during the FA Cup Deux year and made the playoffs most times I've played in the FA Cup.

Now, as for the activity part, one thing we have to consider is how relatable we are to each other. A lot of the old heads here already bonded from the old days of banters in the sports section. I was a regular in the Sports section when the likes of Coogar and all were there, but I rarely posted. So, I'm not close with guys there. So, how do I banter with someone I have no previous rapport with? You won't get a reply!

Look at the number of pages the thread had last season. It was about 37. We've had seasons with close to 100 pages or more before, but those seasons had something different. Even the most inactive of members participated because everyone gets called out. There was a time when we had a group of guys write, I think weekly or monthly, banter stuff that involved everyone. It's impossible not to respond or participate when your moniker gets quoted.

So, if we want more participation, let's look for something to get everyone involved. There is hardly a week that goes by without me visiting this thread to check on things. But I can't just type or quote someone when I know very well the person doesn't have a previous rapport with me. I tried that once last season, quoting two guys or so. There was no response, and it was understandable.

Out of over 100 guys that participate in the game yearly on Nairaland, how many people do you see commenting here? They are just like me. They come to check the thread but find no one to relate to and then leave. That doesn't mean they do not care.

See epistle... Lol

Bros, na one day people dey start to bond. No two persons bond from birth...

If you are active you are active. There is no two ways about it. You said you tried it once last season and no one replied you... Once. As in, once! So you mean out of 38GWs and all the days before and after a GW, na once you try banter and no one reply you? Haba!

I learnt FPL in this Nairaland. Infact in this thread some years ago. Ibime Griffon Raumdeuter and others taught me and guided me as that season progressed, till I understood the game very well. Forget say I dey banter them, but that's the fun of the game.

Honestly, I've not seen your moniker comment here before (I didn't say you haven't, but I have not noticed your moniker before). But I know of FC McKane in FPL. And if I check well, I don flog you before, but because I don't know you well here, I couldn't rub it in your face here

Please be more active here next season so that you go dey collect the banter hot hot.

lordfalcao:
Seeing needles mentions and when I check na still the same lies been circulated to make it true.

Remember this.



I no be some people wey dy type and edit post later in the year.

Sportsweb:
You think say I be airmark that doesn't know when to ignored or enjoys back and forth like it's some c0ke to him

Then stop engaging me if all you can do is throw accusations around without evidence.

Sportsweb:
You claim JP was signed to be support cast, yet in the most important tournament, Maresca started him as number 9. That should tell you where Maresca sees him playing.

Untill season start we go know more.

I am still waiting for you to drop evidence on this accusation.

You cannot just come here and accuse me like that and stroll away.

That we have different opinions on a matter shouldn't be a reason why you will blatantly lie against me.

Sportsweb:
Fun Fact. This Mikel Arteta arsenal currently have

Conference league winners - Rice and Madueke

Champions League winners - Kai, Kepa

Europa League winner - Kepa

Club World Cup winner - Madueke


What a super team with trophy winning mentality

Madueke is not a Club World Cup winner.

swiz123:
Quit this!! Jackson is obselete for us now and will depreciate massively. No need being emotional.

Emotional you say? Lol.... You don't know me then.

I support CHELSEA FC, not some selected players in the club.

Once you wear the blue shirt, I support you wholeheartedly. The moment you leave, nothing concerns me with you again. I can still follow careers of players I like... But bottom line is, once a Chelsea player, you have my support.

If Jackson leaves Chelsea today, I care less about him.

Please don't confuse me with people that pick players to support in the team.

I'm a core Chelsea fan, not player fan.

Ibime:
Jackson is not needed

3rd striker is Guiu and he is as good as any 3rd striker anywhere

Jackson is still OK but keeping him will erode his value, let's cash in

I don't know how they will do it, but Jackson shouldn't go below 70m.

airmark:
Continue to have faith in Jehovah and stop wasting your time on a '1 goal in 20 matches' Jakujaku Jackson.

Just like your faith in Madueke

This 2025/2026.... FPL are hell bent on separating the paper taigas from the Men.

I suppose dey that 1%

Calibrator:
"in no particular order" but my team name had to come last.

I don already know people I go beef next season laddis

Lol

Omor... Na the same thing I wan talk. I see "in no particular order" come dey see my name down down... Abi na because I escape relegation? You still come dey remind me where I finish last season

hensben:
Support cast for Jackson wey nor dey start? Na wa. Hope you know the meaning of support cast so Abi you Dey troll.

When I said, like Liverpool and PSG I know what I meant.

Liverpool and PSG was playing their support cast 95% of the time, with their number 9 on the bench.

You can play only support cast on the pitch without your number 9.

Diaz - Jota - Salah

Kvara - Dembele - Doue

These were all support cast.

Enzo5:
stacked if palmer starts playing rw like at the cwc and it is not a bad thing if we had 3 strikers for the season instead of jackon, nkunku and guiu we have jpedro, delap and jackson. expect some club offers 70m for jackson

I didn't see this your comment when I replied him.

Going into the season with Jackson and Delap as traditional number 9 and JP who can play in all front three makes our squad very healthy for all the competitions we will participate in.

swiz123:
It will be careless of us not to cash in on Jackson right now. We are stacked on the wings and I see no reason why JP won’t be used as a striker.

I agree with you as long as we get a substantial amount for Jackson.

The same way airmark had faith that Madueke will improve is same way I have faith in Jackson to improve.

Sportsweb:
You claim JP was signed to be support cast, yet in the most important tournament, Maresca started him as number 9. That should tell you where Maresca sees him playing.

Untill season start we go know more.

Do well to quote where I made this claim please.

I need to see where I claimed JP was signed to be just a support cast. Provide evidence ASAP.

timbros:
We are fine with Jackson and a good support cast same way Liverpool was fine with Nunez and a good support cast ditto PSG.. LOL

Liverpool didn't need their number 9 Nunez to score 50 goals before they win EPL.

PSG didn't need their number 9 Ramos to score 40 goals before they win UCL.

Chelsea didn't need their number 9 Jackson to score 20 goals before they win CWC.

What is the similarity in all these team's success? Support cast

Continue embarrassing yourself because of Jackson

If you like, knack your head for stone, the bolded above still stand!

Liverpool bench Nunez and used support cast Jota, Diaz, Salah, Gakpo etc to win league.

PSG bench Ramos and used support cast Kvara, Doue, Dembele, Barcola etc to win UCL

Chelsea bench Jackson and used support cast Neto, JP, Palmer etc to win CWC

Deal with it. We are okay with Jackson and a good support cast for the season

You can bring a club to splash 100m and we let Jackson go. If not, he will still be here and lift any trophy we win just like Nunez in Liverpool and Ramos in PSG.

You can't do nothing about it.... Waste pipes are hurriedly discarded, that's why you can't show me a picture of Madueke like this below...

Sportsweb:
Simple question sir, why did Joao Pedro first three game under Enzo Maresca coming in as a number 9?


I have no business with his position at Brighton

My first line in my previous reply literally answered your question.

Do you believe Maresca will play JP only in number 9 in Chelsea?

Sportsweb:
so why did Maresca start him as Number 9 in the three appearances he made for Chelsea? Any idea?

Because he choosed to.

Last I checked, JP's Chelsea career just started. Are you willing to bet he will play only number 9 through out this coming season?

Silentgroper:
I can't find it .. I don scroll tire ...

Here you go. I hope I won't be banned for sharing a link.

Please go there and give your updates.

Joshua Kimmich has a position he is comfortable in.

Where has he played during his career? 100% his preferred position?

Na JP go tell coach where to play am

When Maresca, who sees him playing all attacking positions, put him for flank make him say "No, I won't play. I am number 9"

lordfalcao:
Maresca; I see joao as a wide player, 10, can be a 9 for us.

What does all these positions say? Support cast!

Our resident analyst go show you CWC line up that JP is the striker, like we signed him just to play that final. He won't play another game for Chelsea. Because he started number 9 in that match, he is now a traditional number 9 meanwhile his edited image said "predominantly"

Some jokes write themselves.

I wonder if same question is asked of Haaland, the striker Pep got to be able to win UCL, will "predominantly" precede the answer?

Be trying to be clever by half.

Support cast is the way to go. Maresca have said it. Deal with it.

Joao Pedro is support cast.

LOL.

Silentgroper:
Ekitike be looking like the re-incarnation of jota ..


Same playing style ..



Oya FSG GBEWA!!!!

I thought Liverpool have a thread in Nairaland?

Childishness is a proper disease! LOL...

This boy never cease to amaze me

The way you feel say you go just edit screenshot as e go suit you come paste am here as if na only you get access to Chelsea website so funny!
