All 3? If I had to pick one I'd probably go for Yaya as he's cheaper and you know what you're going to get from him. At this stage Hazard and Kagawa are unknown quantities in the Premier League.

For me this year is harder than ever to pick an initial squad. So many options in midfield alone, also i'm not sure it will be possible to pack your defense with cheap players like it was with Newcastle and Swansea last season. Lots of new players on the scene, the manager merrygoround has been in full flow also, for me there's more variables than there ever has been before...

I'm guessing it's something to do with Chelsea playing in the world club cup.

Could it have something to do with Chelsea playing in the Super cup the week after the league starts ? Maybe they just moved it up a few days because of that .

Anyone else finding the midfield hard to figure out?

Noble,Hazard,Yaya,Pienaar,Dembele are my current lot but still unsure.I am nearly certain Yaya will not be as far forward as he was late last season.

I am adamant on keeping Hazard as i think he will be a ff machine...

Is Ramires likely to be a starter in midfield this year for Chelski?? With Hazard and Mata and Lamps and Meireles all looking for a spot too? Good value at only 7mil if he is he done well last season!?

Don't forget Mikel, Essien, Malouda, Marin, De Bruyne, Romeu, McEachran, Benayoun and even Sturridge if he's needed.

Chelsea's options in midfield scare me.

The only players I'd be willing to take a gamble on are Hazard and Mata. They've so many midfielders in there that they could put out a totally new midfield every game for the first month.

Your not alone!! But i would like to have some Chelsea cover for the dgw and cant afford Hazard or Mata, looks like i might have to bite the bullet and leave Silva out of my squad! at 10mil he just costs too much and im skimming in other areas where i could use the cash i guess!

If it's just for the one week it might be worth gambling on Ramires. He will play at least one game out of the two and he may even play both of them.

If Silva plays like he did last year then he's worth the 10 million. He played a good few games for Spain over the summer though. Hard to know if he'll be fully fit for the start. He looked very jaded at the end of the season.

I was thinking that myself, his form dipped in the second half of the season but he seemed to come to life again at the very end and then he played very well in the euros, i reckon hes always worth a punt! decisions, decisions
