Joao Pedro
24-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.
Sent off late
Pedro was shown a second yellow card and sent off during the second half of Tuesday's clash with Benfica.
ANALYSIS
Pedro was shown his second yellow card deep in second half stoppage time. The forward will now miss one Champions League match, an Oct. 22 clash with Ajax. Tyrique George could get another start in the Champions League with Pedro left on the sideline for that match.

"The three Brazilian players arrived yesterday but didn't train. For all of them it is a question mark for tomorrow. When they play in Bolivia, it's difficult. Hopefully they can be back soon."
