Nets brace in Chelsea victory
Neto scored two goals to go with three shots (three on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 win versus Everton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 27th minute.
Analysis: Neto was quick to respond in the second half as he secured a goal just 44 seconds after the first 45 minutes. He later went on to double Chelsea's advantage in the 90th minute with a composed finish following a blocked free kick. The Portuguese winger created the most chances (five) and also had the joint-most touches in the opposition box (five). Additionally, he placed all three of his shots on target while also making eight defensive contributions.
Could fill new role
Neto could be used as a right wing-back in coach Xabi Alonso's 3-4-2-1 formation after preseason tours in Australia and Asia, according to The Athletic.
Analysis: Neto could see his offensive responsibilities reduced with a shift to wing-back, especially if he sits behind several options such as Cole Palmer, Estevao and Morgan Rogers in attacking spots. However, staying in the starting lineup and offering set-piece ability are encouraging signs that allow the Portuguese to retain some of his creative threat. Additionally, he'll have a chance to rack up defensive output and get involved in ground duels in most fixtures. His positional usage will be worth monitoring closely after he started 30 of 34 Premier League matches last season.
