Didier Drogba vs. Fernando Torres vs. Nicolas Anelka

Chelsea have too many strikers. That’s not a secret. Carlo Ancelotti can’t squeeze Didier Drogba, Fernando Torres and Nicolas Anelka into the same starting eleven, especially not if he wants at least one of the three playing at their peak.

Obviously this is a problem for fantasy football players, because fantasy football is easiest when you know a) Who’s going to play, and b) Who’s going to play well.

I can’t give you answers to those questions, but I can show you how each of Chelsea’s trio of strikers has performed so far this season. This graph compares the fantasy football scores of Didier Drogba (green), Fernando Torres (blue) and Nicolas Anelka (red):

I think the main thing to take from the above graph is that none of the three has been consistent. Lots of peaks and troughs, and rarely at the same time.

Here’s each player’s individual stats:

Didier Drogba: 25 games, 10 goals, 9 assists, average 3.9 points per game.
Fernando Torres: 23 games, 8 goals, 5 assists, average 3.3 points per game.
Nicolas Anelka: 23 games, 6 goals, 4 assist, 3.3 points per game.

You might look at that and decide that Anelka is clearly the inferior of the three. But it’s worth noting that Anelka has spent a good chunk of the season stuck out on the right wing. Not that helps his fantasy football points.

So based on the above, which Chelsea striker should you go for? I say it’s too close to call, so avoid all three until Ancelotti’s plans become clear.
