26 Nov Football Manager 2019 Chelsea: Team guide, building blocks, best young players & who to sell
Football Manager 2019 Chelsea – The Blues find themselves in a precarious position heading into the 2018-19 season.
They are only one season removed from being the champions of England. But at the same time, Chelsea find themselves out of Europe’s premier competition and finished some 30 points behind league leaders Manchester City last season.
The task is simple – find a way to bring back the glory days to Stamford Bridge. To aid you in that quest, PlugsvilleSport has put together this ultimate FM19 guide for you. We have listed Chelsea’s starting finances, two key players to build around, two of the best young players and the players you should consider selling if you need to raise funds.
Starting Finances – Football Manager 2019 Chelsea
Transfer Budget = £49m
Wage Budget = £400k/week
Building Blocks – Football Manager 2019 Chelsea
Eden Hazard (AML/AMC/AMR)
The former Lille winger is central to any success you’ll hope to have. Hazard has the potential to win big games by himself and lead a title charge, and for good measure, he is also an extremely reliable penalty taker.
Best Attributes – Dribbling (20), Agility (20), Penalty Taking (19), Technique (18), First Touch (17)
N’Golo Kante (DM/CM)
Thankfully, in FM19, his wages sit at around £150,000, but don’t be afraid to offer him a new deal if Europe’s heavyweights start showing interest. At 27, he’s entering his very best years with plenty of cup-winning experience. His starting value is £62m but he is rare commodity, so cashing in isn’t wise here.
Best Attributes – Tackling (20), Work Rate (20), Stamina (20), Teamwork (20), Natural Fitness (18)
Best Young Players – Football Manager 2019 Chelsea
Callum Hudson-Odoi (AML/AMC/AMR)
Using the winger sporadically in cup ties while allowing him to train with the first team also holds its perks, but a season away from the Bridge could do him wonders before fully integrating him into your first team for the 2019/20 campaign.
Best Attributes – Acceleration (16), Dribbling (15), Flair (15) , First Touch (14), Natural Fitness (14)
Mason Mount (MC/AMC)
Best used as a number 10, Mason Mount carries four-and-a-half star potential and a hefty transfer fee, should you wish to train him up and sell him, akin to Chelsea’s transfer policy in recent years.
Best Attributes – Determination (16), Technique (15), Composure (15), Finishing (14), Dribbling (14)
