It is clear from the manga that both Seishiro Nagi and Reo Mikage have been struggling since Manshine City's match against Bastard Munchen, causing their auction values to decline with each new match. Their upcoming match against Barcha presents their final chance to secure a spot on Japan's team for the U-20 World Cup.
In the next chapter, Nagi and Reo may face a difficult decision that could lead them down different paths toward their goals. Alternatively, they may focus on improving their mindset for the upcoming game, in hopes of performing better. Given the chapter's title, "Originality," Reo, who is known for his ability to mimic others, may attempt to develop his own unique playing style as well.

In the previous chapter, it was revealed that Kiyora Jin and Igarashi Gurimu had been training privately under the supervision of master striker Noel Noa in preparation for Bastard Munchen's upcoming match against Paris X Gen. This suggests that Noel Noa may have a strategy in mind for utilizing the two players in the upcoming game. The next chapter could delve into the duo's secret training and give fans a peek into Noel Noa's plans for Bastard Munchen's final match in the Neo Egoist League.

After making his appearance in the Germany stratum monitor room in the previous chapter, Noel Noa is likely to reveal the team's strategy for the next match in Blue Lock chapter 247. It's possible that the Master Striker will also announce the starting lineup for the upcoming match.
Another potential development is Noel Noa introducing a new plan that could involve Isagi and Kaiser playing alongside each other in the match. Given that Rin and Shido are set to partner up, it would make sense for Isagi and Kaiser to do the same.
Editor's P/S
As a Blue Lock enthusiast, I am eagerly anticipating the release of Chapter 247. The previous chapter left us with several intriguing developments, including the new auction rankings and the upcoming match between Manshine City and Barcha. I am particularly interested in seeing how Nagi and Reo will respond to their recent struggles. Will they be able to overcome their mental blocks and secure a spot on Japan's team for the U-20 World Cup? Or will they succumb to the pressure and fall short of their goals?
Another highlight of the upcoming chapter will undoubtedly be the reveal of Noel Noa's strategy for Bastard Munchen's match against Paris X Gen. With Kiyora Jin and Igarashi Gurimu having trained privately under his supervision, it is clear that Noel Noa has something special in mind for this crucial game. I am excited to see how these two players will contribute to the team's efforts and whether they will be able to pull off an upset against the formidable Paris X Gen.
