It's true that the departure of gyokeres will affect their goal scoring rate but I don't think that it will really affect them that much because I believe that they can use the money from the sell of gyokeres to buy two top strikers that can get them some good goals , it's only traditional for teams to struggle when a new coach take over because the players to adapt to the style of play of the new coach
They didn't use all the money from the Gyokeres sale, and it's an amount they'll save to stabilize the club's finances. I'm no fortune teller, but knowing Portuguese clubs, when they have a good player and win titles, they sell him for a very high price and then don't spend all the money on new signings. What you see next is a decline in performance and loss of titles in subsequent seasons.
To give you an idea of what I'm talking about:
They played against Villareal and had a bad performance, it didn't seem like the same team that won the title, the attack was very weak, this is very good for Benfica
It's indeed a very interesting analysis. Sporting has been very dependent on Gyokeres over the last two seasons.
I think everyone is waiting to see what Sporting will be like with a coach who wants to apply his own ideas in this new season, without Gyokeres.
Gyokeres, in turn, will have the ultimate test of their quality at Arsenal, in a very different championship.

I heard somewhere that before playing for Sporting he played in the Premier League and did well, I don't know if that's true. Now Sporting without him and without Ruben Amorin will hardly be champions.
