<p><em>Fantasy Premier League bosses will have to re-assess Chelsea assets after the west London outfit parted company with Frank Lampard on Monday.</em></p>
<h3></h3>
<h3 class="x_MsoNormal"><b><span lang="EN-US">Lamp post open</span></b></h3>
<p>The Blues are on the hunt for a new head coach after <a href="https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2021/01/25/statement-on-frank-lampard?utm_source=tw&amp;utm_medium=orgsoc&amp;utm_campaign=none">sacking Lampard</a> ahead of Chelsea&#8217;s home clash with Wolves in Gameweek 20. A club statement read:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Recent results and performances have not met the club’s expectations, leaving the club mid-table without any clear path to sustained improvement.</p>
<p>&#8220;There can never be a good time to part ways with a club legend such as Frank but after lengthy deliberation and consideration, it was decided a change is needed now to give the club time to improve performances and results this season.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<h3></h3>
<h3>Tuch and go</h3>
<p>Numerous media reports suggest that Thomas Tuchel will be the latest manager to take the Chelsea hotseat.</p>

<p>The German most recently managed Paris Saint-Germain from May 2018 to December 2020, when he lost that particular job.</p>
<p>Tuchel has twice succeeded Jurgen Klopp in recent years, after the now-Liverpool boss vacated positions at German outfits Mainz 05 and Borussia Dortmund.</p>
<p>At PSG, Tuchel&#8217;s team averaged <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Tuchel">2.65</a> goals per game across all competitions while conceding at rate of 0.8 goals per game.</p>
<p>While in charge of Dortmund, the club logged a goals per game figure of 2.26 and conceded 0.95 goals in a match on average.</p>
<p>Those statistics can of course be taken with a pinch of salt, considering the different leagues and times that Tuchel was operating in.</p>

<h3>Plenty of fish in the Chelsea</h3>
<p>But there will be hope among the FPL community that Chelsea attackers can boost the pool of mid-price options in midfield and attack. At <strong>£9.2m,</strong> <strong>Timo Werner</strong> is the most expensive Blues option in Fantasy Premier League.</p>
<p>At the back, <strong>Reece James (£5.1m)</strong> could once again prove outstanding value if he nails down the right-back spot under the expected new manager.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Who is Thomas Tuchel? [THREAD]</p>
<p>A high pressing, attack minded, tactically fluid manager who will tweak his system of 4-3-3 to suit his squad, whether that be 4-3-2-1, 4-2-2-2 or 3-4-3. He should have relatively few issues finding a system within his philosophy that suits Chelsea <a href="https://t.co/99gcDA7Ize">pic.twitter.com/99gcDA7Ize</a></p>

<p>The battle for centre-back spots will also be interesting, with Germany international <strong>Antonio Rudiger (£4.5m)</strong> a potential cut-price asset depending on game time.</p>

<p>The Blues sit fifth on the Hub&#8217;s <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/">Fixture Ticker</a> when sorted by attack for the next six Gameweeks. While investment will be considered risky before Gameweek 21, a trip to Sheffield United in Gameweek 23 could be the time to jump on Chelsea assets after assessing three Gameweeks&#8217; worth of <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/">data</a>.</p>
<p>The Londoners will also have their Gameweek 29 fixture away to Liverpool re-arranged should they beat Barnsley in the FA Cup fifth round.</p>
