Nicolas Jackson
25-Year-Old

Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Jackson slowed in scoring form last season, recording 10 goals and five assists. While those numbers aren't terrible, they fall short of expectations for a starting striker at Chelsea. Since joining in 2023, he's yet to hit the 15-goal mark, which led to this summer's signings of Joao Pedro and Liam Delap. It was a tough end to last season for Jackson, who was injured and then picked up a red card and now may have lost his role entirely at the club. Given his place in the depth chart, Jackson is more of a long-shot pick unless he can find consistent minutes in the XI.
Provides assist in second WC match
Jackson assisted once to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Monday's 3-2 loss to Norway.
ANALYSIS
Jackson completed a short pass for Ismaila Sarr to convert in stoppage time of a difficult matchup. The striker also added to his four shots and three chances created in two matches played during the tournament, while the assist marked his first direct contribution over that period. He'll hope to lead the front line again in a potentially easier test versus Iraq, who have conceded seven goals across their previous two games.
