Chelsea: world champions.

Not many people thought that was a likelihood when the FIFA Club World Cup started. Even after the group stage, the bookies estimated that the Blues only had a 16.8% chance of reaching the final, let alone winning the whole thing.

So, with a second trophy under Enzo Maresca’s belt, what should we expect from the west Londoners in the season ahead?

In this article, we thought we’d put together a few takeaways ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.

First, though, a round-up of the minutes played, goals scored and assists registered.

APPEARANCES, GOALS + ASSISTS

    Has Donald Trump been edited out of the article photograph? He was front and centre by all accounts during the celebrations.

      No editing! He was next to Reece James for the first trophy lift, then made his way off stage.

          great article

          although im not sure if you meant to say "Neam kept more clean sheets than the blues?"

          great content though

          im thinking triple at the moment, palmer, pedro, and neto/gusto (depending who gets starts)

      7. Maresca is a top top coach.

        Last season would make people beg to differ.

      Hello folks, there's a bit of downtime planned for later while our tech team run a few updates. It's currently (roughly) scheduled for around 10pm BST.

    4. Site changes!

      Nice fresh look to the site in time for the new season.

        Indeed, TM! If anyone is caught in the headlights by the site changes, Sam will be putting out an article in the morning explaining a few things. Reece is still tinkering away in the background overnight.

          I don't know if this is just on mobile but names are half cut out and timestamps on comments are paragraphed, looks good otherwise

          Note for Reece: neither of the side panels is opening reliably on mobile (Android 14 Chrome browser). Sometimes they open, other times the buttons are unresponsive

          Testing further, this might be hydration-related, as the buttons always work after waiting for some seconds

      Looks good, nice refresh.

      The new UI looks neat but is there any chance the size of the ads can be reduced? They cover about 40 percent of the screen right now.

      Seeing Chelsea celebrating with Trump is well, odd. xD

      I've just seen that the fplstatistics site is no more. I've been using that for as long as I can remember. What's the next best free price change predictor?

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        4 months, 23 days ago

        I believe Live FPL does it now

          Thanks. I'm not big on change. Even this new layout is making me feel dizzy.

      Excellent look to the site. Looks so fresh! Tried to sign in to my account from the article but the button couldn't seem to work. Had to go to home page and sign in from there.

      Looks nice, but all usernames will have to be short. Can't see more than 10 characters

      Looks decent.

      Like the refreshed site layout. Great job folks.

      Looking forward to Virg’s comments too 😉

          Eliteserien is listed as one of the options in the dropdown menu from Articles at the top of the page.

      Nice refreshing look...serial moaners will still complain tho'

    17. Conners

      I don't mind the new layout, but like Holmes says, the background needs an adjustment to provide contrast.

      1. Mumfie
        • 4 Years
        4 months, 23 days ago

        Agree with this. Love the new look but needs more contrast between posts and the background. This should make the stepped in replies clearer.

      Dark mode please. Asides from that looks good. Feels like it's been long overdue

          Was just about to comment this. It saves a huge amount of battery power on devices, and also saves the eyes of people sensitive to light like myself.

            They seem to have removed the nudists too, which is a great development as I am sensitive to them!

                4 months, 23 days ago

                The nudists will pour in when the game is released. Brace thine eyes.

          just give some contrast. all white, it is a bit to much. looks nice, great work!

        • AAAFootball
            4 months, 23 days ago

            good, but i do think dark mode would be nice. Also, I cannot see the sidebar when in an article. Is there a way to change that? to see the sidebar I had to go back to the homepage first.

            AAAAAAAAAAAiiiiieeeeeeee! Bright light!!!!!!!!!!!!!

            I like the touch of the player picks in the team box, though they're a bit too small to make out properly. I think its going to look a bit odd when they are interspersed with new signings either in their previous kits or worse as 'nudist' gravs.
