Future Chelsea team

[CHOULO19 24,332]

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.

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 it looks to me like you're playing Cole at right back and Ivanovic at left back

That was already pointed out wise guy.

You have my most sincere apologies.

We don't have Bosingwa anymore...

yes, edited my line-ups

[Leif 6,006]

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!)

My team of the future:

---------------Courtois------------------

---Ivan---Chalobah---Luiz---Ryan---

--------------Josh--Romeu-------------

----------------DeBruyne---------------

---Feruz------Lukaku-----Piazon-----

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.

No Ramires?

Forgot to name all hundred players we have in first team and all reserves

No, what I meant was, no Ramires starting?

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...
