The FM27 prospects Chelsea could end up signing in real life
The new era under Xabi Alonso has started brightly at Chelsea, although there are some fans who have their doubts. If you’re in the same camp and even think you could do a better job than the former Leverkusen boss, then you have a chance to take up the reins at Stamford Bridge in Football Manager 27, which comes out on November 10.
A management simulation series that has been around for years, many Blues fans will undoubtedly look to take over the club and lead the team to glory in the virtual sphere. In fact, some of the potentially viable signings in the game could even be on the club’s radar in real life. Of course, official player ratings haven’t been revealed yet, but given just how realistic the title is, there’s a strong chance some of today’s brightest sparks will be options in the game.
For Blues fans who will undoubtedly be looking to explore Football Manager 27’s new features, while also picking their Fantasy Premier League teams and playing casino games based on the sport like Football Champions Cup, leading their beloved club to glory will be a tempting proposition. With that in mind, below we assess some emerging talents Chelsea managers could look to snap up, some of whom could even end up at the club in the real world soon.
Luka Vuskovic
Currently standing out at Brighton, Luka Vuskovic is expected to be rated extremely highly in FM27. The big defender is a player Spurs fans are still wishing they kept, although his development could stall at some point. As things stand, though, Luka Vuskovic will undoubtedly have world class potential in FM27. With Chelsea needing reinforcements at the back, the Brighton man could become a viable option in the coming years.
Arda Guler
When assessing some of the biggest emerging stars in world football right now, Arda Guler is up there. The Real Madrid midfielder isn’t the first name on the team sheet for Jose Mourinho’s side, making a move to English football a potential solution for him. To sign Guler, the Blues would almost certainly have to qualify for the Champions League in both the game and under Xabi Alonso this season. Thankfully, it’s looking like a real possibility.
Endrick
Another top talent who could struggle to make the breakthrough at Real Madrid, Endrick is a striker capable of becoming one of the most reliable goal-getters in football. In FM27, the Brazilian striker will undoubtedly possess statistics that could dramatically improve with more minutes under his belt. Game time at the highest level is certainly what Endrick needs, and should Chelsea come calling, then Premier League football would surely pique his interest.
Jamal Musiala
Should Chelsea make the Champions League in both real life and in the game, then a top talent like Jamal Musiala could become an option. The Bayern star has links to the Blues and would surely jump at the chance to represent the club once again. An ambitious signing the club’s ownership seem to be intent on making these days, Jamal Musiala arriving through the door at Stamford Bridge would be a game changer.
Myles Lewis-Skelly
Myles Lewis-Skelly doesn’t play enough for Arsenal. In Football Manager 27, the versatile English talent probably won’t be viewed as a first-choice pick either. As such, for both FM managers and Blues fans, seeing the Arsenal academy graduate in a Chelsea shirt in the coming years could become a reality. He fits the profile of the type of signing the club’s hierarchy tends to make, and his ceiling is incredibly high.
