With Diego Costa angling for a transfer and Michy Batshuayi struggling to make the grade at Stamford Bridge, Alvaro Morata will be charged with leading Chelsea's line during the coming campaign. A recent arrival from Real Madrid, this is his first season in England, but he averaged a goal every 89 minutes for the Spanish giants last term.

His combination of technique, athleticism, and raw finishing ability should see him fit right in, particularly with the likes of Eden Hazard and Pedro supporting him. He arrived at Juventus four days after Antonio Conte's departure in 2014, but the Italian coach clearly sees a lot in him, having convinced Chelsea to part with a club record fee of around £70m for his services.

The huffy Costa notched 196 Fantasy points spearheading Conte's team last season. Morata is a more refined player with a better disciplinary record, but it's hard to predict how his numbers will compare. Regardless, Conte is a smart coach who will do all he can to maximise the Spaniard's strengths on the pitch, and his track record suggests that if everything falls into place, Morata can become Chelsea's talisman.
