Liam Delap
23-Year-Old
Chelsea
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Delap makes the move to Chelsea where his biggest concern will be minutes since he's not a guaranteed starter like he was at Ipswich Town. The addition of Joao Pedro adds to those concerns, meaning Delap could now see a majorly reduced role. He was an efficient finisher with Ipswich Town and has the talent to thrive with a Chelsea attack that should create plenty of chances. Joao Pedro is likely going to open the season as the starter, making Delap a risky proposition, if he earns the starting job through injury or form he would be a top attacking option immediately.
Shut down Tuesday
Delap recorded one shot (zero on goal) in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 87th minute.
ANALYSIS
Delap's poor season continued Tuesday despite making his return to the starting XI. He failed to put a shot on target, making it six Premier League amtches in a row without an attempt on goal. He has scored just one goal across 27 appearances this season, a shocking downfall after he scored 12 last season with Ipswich Town.
