Joao Felix - Three shots in first startFelix recorded three shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win over Leicester City.ImpactSaturday marked Felix's first start of Chelsea's 2024-25 season. While the now 25-year-old provided volume, he lacked a finishing touch or accuracy, not even getting a shot on goal. Chelsea's head coach Enzo Maresca runs a 4-2-3-1 formation with three of four attacking players (Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson) locked for consistent starts. Felix will be one of many players fighting for Chelsea's attacking midfielder position on the left alongside Pedro Neto, Jadon Sancho, Christopher Nkunku and Mykhailo Mudryk. Only if Felix can win out, which is more unlikely than not, can he be a consistently viable option for the Blues.
