This is my Chelsea line up for next season.
----------------Cech---------------------
---Ivanovic----Terry----Luiz-----Cole----
-------------Ramires----Lampard---------
-------Mata------Oscar-------Hazard-----
------------------Torres------------------
This is an extremely attacking team. Both the center midfielders are box to box men who love to advance
forward and attack, we definitley saw ramires do that last season. Also, the three attacking midfielders with Mata and Hazard on the wings will provide great width and depth to the team. I feel that the three attacking mids also play in the style of Torres which is precision and technical ability whereas the people who Torres used to play with last season were muscle men who want to muscle there way into scoring, such as, Drogba. Perhaps he won't feel overshadowed by Drogba as much and also connect well with the other attacking parts of the team. As for defence I feel Cech is still at the top of his game and Courtois at Athletico Madrid is an spectacular prospect. Plus, the central defence is well covered for because of the great young prospects of Luiz and cahill.

Oscar mata hazard

Don't think it matters where they start, all 3 can swap positions,

Just saying y wud mata start on the right

RB is the only position we desperately need to buy someone. We don't need a RW as we have De Bruyne, Hazard and Marin who are all right footed the only one who is not Mata and I think the plan is to 2 of the 4 but in a very fluid system with the 3 AM interchanging positions. We also have Ramires wo will play on the right and Sturridge who can cover as well. If we do sign Oscar then I would like to see either him or De Bruyne moulded into a deep lying playmaker as they are both young and have good vision and technique but in the meantime Lampard and Romeu will fill that postion. The one downside is none of the attacking midfielders are very big so will need the defensive midfielder to be big and powerfull, Mikel is perfect on end of last seasons performance but I also think Luiz may be able to cover that position.

CFC pro's

KDB is a leftie ain't he?

Sturridge ain't any good on right wing so he won't be covering, Romeu is far from a playmaker. Luiz has never played holding for us.

I woke up tempted with a cheeky bit of controversy. De Buyne is predominantly right but does use his left.

De bruyne is strong in both feet! Two footed
