What would be everybody's preferred back 5 when everyone's fit? Mine would be

Azpilacueta. Luiz. Zouma


Moses Alonso

My reason is we can't drop Moses from wing back he's been amazing this season, Alonso has been very good since signing, and they both give the best balance to attacking wing back positions, Luiz for me has been class both with and without the ball looks like he has matured so far, zouma when fit is a good hard tackling great leap and header of the ball and strong and lighting quick, if he is 100% over his injury he will become the best out and out defender in the league, and there should always be a place for Azpilacueta in our starting 11 he has been very good in a back 3, probably better there for me than wing back because he lacks a little attacking threat, I like the fact that all these players are strong fast and athletic, and with Luiz being the oldest at 29, there all a really good age to grow as a unit and improve, with a good mixture of every ingredient, pace, power, flair ect each player bringing something different, yep I think next season we lose ivanovic and Terry probably retires, so makes sense to get christienson back into the mix, and maybe promote a youngster or sign 1 more CB just for cover, so 2 out 2 in, oh and Cahill as cover / challenge for a starting spot.

That's a tough question for me because it really comes down to would you rather have Moses as a wingback or Cahill/ bean/ Terry as the left sided centrehalf. I think Alonso is the only choice at left wingback, Zouma as one of the outside centrehalves, and David Luiz looks great as the sweeper. Dave has to start whether at right wingback or centrehalf is the question. For me it depends who we're up against. If it's a team like city I'd leave Moses out but against Burnley I'd have him in.

Sentiments aside if zouma is 90% sharp we shouldn't even consider Cahill not to talk of Terry. And for me and I believe almost 95% of CFCS Moses is know our ideal right wing back, Therefore I disagree with TK.

I think there are four must starts out of the five positions right now.

Azpilicueta is the first for me. I said a while back that he is the closest thing the Phillip Lahm that I've seen and that's down to his ability to play all over the back four; he could probably do job in midfield too.

Luiz is the second, he's been outstanding since returning and his ability to play out from a back three is really needed.

Third and fourth are Moses and Alonso, they've made the three at the back system work more than any other players in the team.

That leaves one position left, the third centre half. Out of Terry, Cahill and a fit Zouma I'd have to pick Zouma.

I have been kicking in around my head the thought of willian as a right wing back. He certainly has the stamina and defensive acumen for it. What do you guys think?

Tk it is a good shout but moses is playing incredibly well so atm that spot is his for certain.

Whilst I agree with the above about Willian playing there, I'd have to say I'd prefer moses due his build and strength when he defends. More suited to it to be honest.
