What is most likely to be Chelsea defence this season?
I see quite a few teams with Filipe Luis - is he a guaranteed starter and if so who loses out?

Nobody has much of a clue. They are a minefield and no matter who starts there will definitely be rotation. Ivanovic will cover for Terry/Cahill occasionally while Ivan, Luis and Azpil will share the full back spots ( possibly depending on the opposition like Pellegrini does with Clichy/Kolarov).

I'm still hoping to go the goalkeeper route into their defence but that's as clear as mud too! At least if one of the keepers wins that battle he should be a certainty for league games.

Personally I think ivan may be the one benched this weekend. I think Azpil is the most secure initially. But that's just gut feeling.

Luis seems to be the only viable left back option though?

Azpilicueta played there all last season in a fairly stingy defence. He is pretty viable.

Ivan-Cahill-Terry-Luis

Would expect rotation once CL starts.

With shaw out for a month what's Utds likely line up. Will there be a cheap way into their defence?

Plus Jose is a big fan of Azpil. Its far from clear cut. Luis owners could well get a big shock on Mon night.

He is the favourite to not play IMO.

NEW again,

De Gea (C)
Davies, Skrytel Terry,
Hazard, Mata, Paulinho, Coutinho (V)
Giroud, Rooney, Naismith

Subs Myhill, Shawcross, Meyler, Ferdinand.

What do ye think lads? in terms of captaincy and the new bonus points coming into it i think there is more to gain having a gk as captain. And with Uniteds first 8 or so games a few clean sheets could be on the cards! what do yous think?

Sorry if off topic, but what new bonus points system is coming in?
A new one aside from last years changes?

Mike Ehrmantraut · 13-08-2014 10:57PM

Right, after many changes, this is the current squad!

Mannone

Azpillecueta, Debuchy, Vlaar

Sterling, Sanchez, Ericksen, Mata

Rooney, Diego Costa, Bojan

Krul, Taylor-Fletcher, Bruce, Moore

Any suggestions or ideas appreciated

that's my guess on how they'll line up. Azpi did well last season out of position, though didn't really offer anything going forward. It's Luis' natural side, and he offers a viable attacking threat as well as being solid defensively. Ivan i can't see being dropped - he's become a stalwart over the last 5 seasons - and offers the best attacking threat from open play. Which leaves Azpi. I could be wrong, but i think he's gonna lose out. He may get Champions League games as compensation. Tough one to call, still. May be some

:o:o:o:o:o's on Monday evening

I haven't heard of any new system. And I'm guessing this place would be abuzz with discussions on it.

Goalkeepers didn't work out great from it. CB's with CS's that passed the ball around a bit, won plenty of headers seemed to be the biggest beneficiaries of the changes last year.

The criteria which earn BPS to earn thw bonus points changed somewhat. Oh and we were abuzz with it, us hardcore geeks had this discussion 3 weeks ago so you part timers who pick your team in the last week may have missed it.

As I recall it wasn't earth shattering, more rewarding of dribbling may now favourite attacking FBs where CBs were generally rewarded for clean sheets last year.

Also it was detrimental to GKs so OP forget about captaining DDG.

Sgt Pepper 64 · 13-08-2014 11:24PM

Trying to fit Terry, Mata, Hazard, Costa, Toure and Giroud into the same team.
Need one more player and have only 1.5 left

Cameron
lovern
oshea
sidwell
Henderson
lambert

who_ru · 13-08-2014 11:26PM

Don't know what to do anymore so going to go with this lot.

De Gea

Koscielny Luis. DeBuchey

Hazard(v) Mata. Sigurdsson. Ramsey.

Cheapest players 4M so cannot be done. What formation do you want to play with. Chose cheap players maybe look at players from promoted team to see which of them will play

Done it!

3-4-3

Howard
Terry\Cameron\Louven
Mata\hazard\Yaya\Henderson
Giroud\Costa\Bojan

Myhill\Oshea\Bruce\Davis

Good mix of the likely top 5 teams and the lower team regulars

Drop Howard to Begovic, Lambert to Austin, Cameron (he won't start anyway) to Wisdom, Lovren to Caulker. You're laughing, and have probably improved in most of those switches anyway.

Dubstar07 · 13-08-2014 11:43PM

Hi all,

Been tinkering with this now and am getting to a happy medium almost!! As usual with the prices it's tricky to get all that you want! Keeping GKs cheap to afford better elsewhere. Any suggestions for improvement?

Going for 3-4-2 to start. 1.5 in the bank.

Myhill Krul

Debuchy Davies Cahill (Targett Cameron)

Sterling Barkley Ramsey Mata (Javi Garcia or El Ahmadi)

Costa Rooney (Long)

Thanks, Dub

Would recommend you play the full 11 players

De Gea,
Skrtel, Davies, Shawcross,
Sanchez(C), Coutinho(V), Hazard, Mata,
Rooney, Naismith, Weimann.

Interesting two keeper strategy - weakens the rest of the team though.

Whatever you do, don't vice captain Rooney. Captain him!

Swap Hazard for Fabregas and Coutinho for Sigurdsson and upgrade your defence and strikers. Paulinho is a no no.
