chelsea midfield??

[Le King]

wat u guys rkn chelsea midfield will b this season???
its probs the strongest in the world id say
with ctr players like ballack, mikel, lampard, deco, essien - there is so much competition and players that will start anywhere else for any otha club in the world, thats jst there central players

id start lamps and ballack, but then wat do u do with deco and essien? cause essien cant play right back now that bonsigna has been signed??

ur thoughts

[bradley]

I have no idea how they'd put their team out now, they have way too many options..

How about this?

----------Drogba-------------
----Cole--------------------
-----------Lampard----------
-------Ballack-------Deco------
------------Essien--------------
Ferraira---Terry---Carvalho---Bosingwa
------------Cech----------------

[Le King]

players like anelka, malouda, swp, they will all have 2 b peakin
maybe sum chelsea supporters can give us there ideas

[pires7]

pleasing all the players with game time will be a problem. Drogba will expect 90mins a week no doubt

[chelsea91]

Yeah i have no clue what there going to do.. Just have to wait and see

A.Cole ahead or Paulo Ferriera and that is Chelsea's best X1

[nachoman]

thank goodness essien is back to his midfield role

[totsreds08]

id probably say chelsea can play 4-4-1-1

cech
a.cole, carvalho, terry, bosingwa
essien, ballack, deco, j.cole
lamps
drogba

[Squizzy]

Firstly, I'd probably put Lampard and Ballack together and Deco in the hole. But then again, I follow Man Utd and would prefer them to be in-fighting because of lack of minutes for the other players already mentioned above.

Secondly, to Nachoman.... Nice looking Babe in your signature, man. Well in...

[nachoman]

squizzy , its hard work on the eyes too

I totally forgot about Ashley Cole.

Chelsea are loaded all over the park.

[Madridista612]

I'd say best squad in Europe by far.

[adriano10]

truly...with Scolari hopefully having an attacking, stylish frame of mind....

i can see Essien filling Makelele's empty spot due to his unrivalled versatility and ability to plug gaps....

which would leave four attack-minded midfielders in front (however with Ballack's guts in the middle hopefully forcing him to do a bit of the knit and grit, it could work)....

J Cole on the Right for sure... maybe Ballack through the middle with Deco forced to the other side ..... leaving Lampard to play slightly further up maybe and support Drogba...

it's really hard, in moving people possibly out of position just to fit them in (Deco isn't your typical left winger if you will) i've left out naturally positioned players like Malouda, who has a lot of talent and SWP a natural J Cole replacement...

i honestly don't know but all i hope is that big bad Phil finds a place to fit Ballack, Essien, Lampard, Deco and J Cole into a midfield... we'll be shiraz hard to beat that's for sure! Not forgettting the little fact that Didi Drogba will eventually return to the frontline

[SPURS18]

fantastic midfield, it will be interesting to see if Deco can cope with the English style

[Updachels]

and now with all the romours that Kaka maybe coming makes you wonder even more whathe will do with them all.

I have no idea what Scolari will do but you cannot forget that SWP and Anelka have had v. good preseasons so cannot be taken out of the equation. I think Bosingwa is injured for first game so that may make his decisions a little easier ...

[E. Grant & Co]

Decision, decisions, decisions, the 2 best teams in the England right now would have to be Chelsea and Chelsea reserves, I'd say.

With Kaka coming in before the end of the month will be very interesting at training wouldn't you say?

[Randoman]

bye bye mikel. dirty sherry wont get a chance how hopefully...

[adriano10]

most coaches would be wishing they have Scolari's headahces at the moment!

our midfield is AMAZING.... i dont think we'll get Kaka, Milan really can't afford to let him go and I think Milan's Brazilian contingent will keep him there.... would be amazing though

[Le King]

maybe they will leave ballack on the bench... seems 2 b bad luck
cnt buy a trophy

[Judge Judy]

----------------Cech---------------
---------------Terry----------------
SWP-Kalou-Lampard-Ballack-Deco-Essien-Malouda-Cole
-------------------Drogba----------

Mikel to come on at HT for Kalou

[E. Grant & Co]

Yes you can, Its easy

[ruud]

this is such an fpl question

[ronaldo07]

----------------Cech---------------
---------------Terry----------------
SWP-Kalou-Lampard-Ballack-Deco-Essien-Malouda-Cole
-------------------Drogba----------

Mikel to come on at HT for Kalou

ur thoughts

chelsea should play 4-2-3-1.... like spain.

GK - Cech
Back four - bosigna, terry, carvalho, a.cole
2 - Essien, Ballack
3 - Cole, Deco, Lampard (rotate Lampard & Ballack)
Striker - Drogba

think this formation would be our strongest.

I'd pick A Cole ahead of Ferrara at left back

For sure. NO argument there.

[Judge Judy]

apparently Robinho is a done deal?

[sweeps]

89% done!

chelsea are going to destroy!
league, fa cup, champions league!

WHAT A YR!

[nachoman]

where would robinho fit into the squad ?

maybe a 4 3 2 1 formation


---------- Drogba-------------
------J.Cole------ robinho --------
---Essien----Deco- -Lampard---
--------------------------
A.Cole---Terry---Carvalho---Bosingwa
------------Cech----------------

Thus leaving Ballack, SWP , Mikel as the spare midfilders
Anelka and Sheva as spare strikers
Ferreria, Bridge and Alex spare defenders

[Judge Judy]

problem is, players like lampard, ballack, deco, essien, robinho will NOT take being on the bench well. can't see it all working
