How you want your team to line up next season?

rafael>fabio from what i have seen.but then again,man u fans know him more than i do

Fabio is much better defensively imo and one of the bright sparks in the CL final beside's its irrelevant when Evra toddles off into retirement they both will play

Subs ( Szczesny , Samba , koscelny , Nasri , Arshavin , Rosicky , Alvarez )

are all the Manchester fans agreeing on the fact that Fabio is better than Rafael, (even for the rb spot)? or is it just your opinion

I think the majority think Fabio> Rafael, but it was just the injuries that took a toll on Fabio. Although, by the end of the season, I want to see both as starters.

Really surprised to see Chelsea fans keep repeating Mikel-Lamps-Ramirez midfield.

IMO, its their weakest point.....very little creativity and movement there

It's a 4-3-3 but really a dirty version of a 4-4-2/4-2-4, Krasic is not expected to defend and Aguero isn't a LW
Also, Vidal can be swapped with Melo, I just included him because I like the idea of signing him for that spot.

Lampard will be a rotating player with moutinho.

mikel is more creative than Essien as well.

On Topic:

-------------------------------Reina-----------------------
Johnson---------Lovren----------Agger----------Clichy
----------------------Lucas----------Gerrard------------
----Downing--------------Suarez-------------Mata----
------------------------------Carroll-----------------------


that's until 4th minute of each game, before Agger gets subbed off due to an injury of course

I reckon Steve Clark will sort Clichy out and make him a top LB again. Really want the deal to happen. Enrique gets shedload of protection from Gutierrez while Arshavin never tracks back for Clichy.

Looks strangely familiar, doesn't it?

Ignore Vidal.

I'm a little surprised as well.

Realistic:


Hopeful (or wishful):

----------------------------Casillas
Ramos----------Pepe-----------------Carvalho---------Marcelo
------------------------------Xabi
----------------------Khedira-----Sahin
Ozil------------------------------------------------------Ronaldo
----------------------------Higuain


*Ozil and Ronaldo on free roles interplaying across the final 3rd
*Di Maria rotating in when we play 4-2-3-1 or for Ronaldo
*Varane to transition with Carvalho to take over the following season
*Arbeloa to rotate on the flanks, Nacho to come in when he can not
*Callejon to fill in when needed on the wings
*Kaka for Ozil when needed, rotation or rest wise
*Varane to come in to finish off games and when a destroyer is needed tactically or to switch with Pepe when Pepe is required for that role
*Benzema for Higuain when needed, rotation or rest wise
*Albiol as 4th CB
*Adan and Meijas as 2nd and 3rd keepers respectively
*Granero and Canales to fill in the midfield gaps as required

Gago, Garay, Leon and Lass to be sold

Mikel is a young lad that needs to be given some proper game time to get his game up. He can definitely do that. Ramires is essential for the midfield because he is a very good team player. Without him the midfield would be different. He would also get the help from McE. Lampard would be rotated with Moutinho/Pastore/Sneijder or whoever that comes. He would most probably not start many games. We have a lot of respect for Lampard, and he is still capable of a lot of things. If he is given proper freedom and rest it might be awesome and we could easily see him retire at Chelsea.
