Future Chelsea team

Fair point..but would the sweeper fit into Chelsea's tactics...it's not like we play with a 3-man or 5-man defence.

Everytime Luiz brings the ball forward with one of his runs/dribbles I stop breathing.

Cech

David Luiz

Ashley Cole - Gary Cahill - John Terry - Branislav Ivanovic

Frank Lampard - Jon Obi Mikel

Juan Mata - Eden Hazard

Fernando Torres

Why not?

Because no one has played with a sweeper snince the early 90s. It only works when the oposition does not have a midfield and just lumps balls froward from the defense .

And just how many EPL teams do that? Quite a lot. It wouldn't work in Europe, but it would mop the floor with Liverpool.

But strikers' movement has changed massively in the last 20 years which is why everyone stopped using a sweeper in the first place. With no offside line, we're bound to give away at least a couple of breakaways in each match. It's too dangerous imo.

Good point I forgot the offside rule was changed in the 90s.

I was thinking something along the lines of -

Courtois

Lahm, Cahill, Luiz, Bertrand

Schweinsteiger, Mikel

Ronaldo, Mata, Messi

Neymar

I'm sure we could get most of them on a free by around 2026, assuming they're still playing, or for just a few £million.

(No one said how far into the future, so this is my future team!)

What does future mean? Anything we want it to? Ill just post the ideas for 12/13, or better yet, ill post what i think could happen albeit may not be realistic in may eyes for several reasons.

Ill have to look more at modric to see if my assertion would be a good one. Hopefully torres does well and wins his spot, or else gets replaced like a scrub, by a goal scoring phenom.

Debuchy aint the youngest rb out there but if you want what may be considered an improvement, @ 27 debuchy is a good well rounded rb.

Future team is our team in few years, not next season.

Formation 4:2:3:1

Courtois - replacement for Cech, looking good so far

Azpi -he is not here yet, but I hope soon he will. Eventualy he will play in Spain 11 and he is great both, defence and attack

Luiz- already here

Cahill - probably captain, he will be the oldest in squad

Bertrand - next Cole I think

Mikel- at his best age (28 or sth), he will be destructor in midfield

De Bruyne - new Lampard, if he evolves. The creativity and defence

Hazard, Mata - playmakers for Chelsea

new winger (Hulk, Dzagoev, Ayew,...) - we need to buy someone on this position, maybe even Marin

Lukaku/Sturridge - power in attack, hope they will both be class

---

Josh, Ramires, Kane, Piazon, Hutch, Kalas (Cahill replacement), Romeu (Mikels replacement)

I just wonder if we have Mata, Hulk and Hazard in attack, how and when will player like Piazon get a chance to play regulary. At age of 25, when Mata and Hazard will be older, will be to late...

I'd LOVE to see this team some day (or something similar) -

2hzjw3a.jpg

1) - This starting line-up features 5 British players, which is rare for a top team in England to do (only Manchester United and Tottenham ever seem to achieve this.)

This would give us good communication, especially down the left flank.

2) - Bertrand started his career as a winger - Bale started his career as a full-back. They now play those roles reversed. Having them on the same flank would be awe-inspiring. They would switch between being a winger and being a full back throughout the game, constantly keeping the opposition on their toes. The left side would be defended extremely well. Not many players would get in a cross from our left flank!

3) - Luiz COULD in SOME games play as a Libero, bringing the ball out of defence and playmaking, with brilliant long passes reaching Bale/Hazard, or short ones reaching our main playmaker - in this picture, De Bruyne. You will see the arrows coming off of Romeu. When Luiz does go forward, he can go back a bit and reconnect the back 4.

4) - When getting stretched too much in midfield due to the opposition having more/better/faster wingers, Todd Kane would come out of defence and play in his wide-midfield role, while again, Romeu would drop back (but not quite as deep this time, otherwise the centre would be exposed with only De Bruyne there.)

5) - De Bruyne would hold his position in the middle, being our central heartbeat playmaker, dictating tempo, while Hazard and Mata constantly change positions, creating havoc in the final 3rd. They would also both act as advanced playmakers. This gives us a playmaker in every single area of the pitch at all times, meaning we should dominate possession each game.

6) - Sturridge wouldn't do too much. Simply goal poach as I believe that's how we'd get the best out of him, considering his great speed, unpredictability and big balls to try shots that other strikers wouldn't dare doing.

7) - We then have the likes of Ramires, McEachran, Lukaku, Marin, Kalas, Ivanovic (if he's still around), van Aanholt (if he stays as back up, which I doubt) etc. all able to slot into this tactic.

This team would have the perfect balance of attack and defence, and would also feature a few home-grown players which is great to see.

When up against a daunting opponent such as Real Madrid, Todd Kane would start in midfield as he's naturally more defensive minded, creating a flat four of Bale, De Bruyne, Romeu, Kane, while whoever we have as a rotation option would start at right back. One of Hazard or Mata would then be dropped, and we'd play 1 attacking midfielder behind Sturridge. We then counter attack with amazing pace, and defend in numbers.

(Of course these wouldn't be our tactics EVERY game. This would simply be what our other tactics are based on.)

I Like a 4-2-2-2 Formation, with 2 CMs instead of 2 CDMs or myb 1 very good and fit playmaking CDM and a more attacking CM.

-------COURTOIS-------

KALAS---CAHILL---LUIZ---BERTRAND/JORDI ALBA (IF BARCA DONT GET HIM EARLY)

-----RAMIRES------DE BRUYNE-----

MATA ----- HAZARD

STURRIDGE LUKAKU

I heard people were starting to get annoyed how every thread is starting to become endless lists of starting lineups whenever we were linked to a new player, so thought we could have a dedicated thread to possible lineups and strategies, no matter how different they may be, or whether they are just a thought, and can have whatever players we are linked to or have.

footballuser.com is a great site to use if you want all that.

Here is my starting line up if the Oscar deal goes through.

Obviously, Lampard will have a big role to play in one of those Cm spots and also the RW spot could go to hulk if we sign him, and ramires could have to play more central.

What formations would you like to see etc. Some even were talking of a 4-6-0, which in my opinion would be :cry: ...
