Joao Pedro
23-Year-Old
Chelsea
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Pedro makes the move to Chelsea fresh off 10 goals and six assists at Brighton where he was the team's main penalty taker. His move to Chelsea could mean more opportunities and less attention, but it'll also mean fewer chances to start. It's unknown where he'll fit in the mix immediately unless he outmuscles Liam Delap for starts at the No. 9 to open the season, which seems unlikely. The other part is how active he'll be at Chelsea compared to Brighton, as he'll no longer be shooting every chance he gets. Production will be there as part of this attack, but it's unclear what his playing time will look like with the Blues.

Instant game changer at CWC
Pedro scored a goal during the 3-0 win over PSG at the FIFA Club World Cup.
ANALYSIS
Pedro's presence completely changed the dynamic of the Chelsea attack since singing in the beginning of July, recording three goals in the three games played at the CWC. His performance likely earned him a starting spot ahead of the 2025/26 PL season, as the favorite over Nicolas Jackson.
