World Cup 2022: Is Chelsea a smart move to change manager?

As the 2022 World Cup draws near, this shift at the helm at Stamford Bridge has everyone wondering: Can Graham Potter do better at Chelsea than Thomas Tuchel? Is it a smart move for the former Brighton boss? A comparison between Chelsea and Brighton's teams may give us a better understanding of Porter's decision to switch teams.

Let's take a look at what it takes to be a 2022 World Footballer rating

● To make the comparison as objective as possible, we will use the same formation for both squads. We will use the classic 4-4-2.

● We do not pick by location. Instead, we will select the highest overall defenders, midfielders and forwards, even if they are, for example, the four CDMs.

● We will use the highest rated card from each player in FIFA 22 FUT. The only exception is Shapeshifter items, as they do not represent the player's true location. Items used for comparison will be listed in parentheses next to the OVR rating.

Looking at the above analysis and data, it seems to understand why Graham Potter brought his stuff to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea's new manager will have a stronger squad than he did at Brighton. But with it came mounting pressure. Unless Porter wins the Champions League at Chelsea, he won't be able to really claim to be doing better than Tuchel.
