Despite spending more money in the summer transfer window than any club in Europe, no wait, there’s more, despite breaking 2019 Real Madrid’s summer window spending record, Chelsea still haven’t won a match yet.
Yes, throwing down close to 400 million Euro, this window alone, still hasn’t fixed what ails Chelsea. At least not yet. A non-victory against newly promoted Luton Town this Friday night would only exacerbate the crisis even more.

Moises Caicedo, the most expensive player ever bought by a British club, will make his first start in a Chelsea shirt here. He’ll slot in right next to Enzo Fernandez, who previously held that record, from when he came over in January.
I guess we could call this a team that money can buy, because we can’t call them the best team that money can buy.
In terms of our first team prediction, I really like what this guy did here with his first team prediction.
I wouldn’t change a thing, plus it looks a lot cooler than just listing it out.
