At this time of year, the newspapers are full of “Team X’s potential 11 for next season,” where effectively every player linked to a team is jammed into a made up formation to earn clicks.
But what if we were to do a very realistic one for Chelsea?
Given the players who have left in defence this summer, and the lack of signings to replace them, we can only assume Thomas Tuchel is planning to move to a back 4, as has been reported in various places.
With Raheem Sterling now a cert to arrive, that leads us to believe that this is going to be the formation for our first game of the season:
Havertz
Sterling-Mount-Werner
Kante-Jorginho-Kovacic
Chilwell-Silva-Chalobah-James
Mendy
As much as we love Trevoh Chalobah, that really shows our weak spot in defensive cover.
Can you think of a more realistic option? We don’t want your dreams or your hopes, just what you genuinely think it will be.
I would prefer Pulisic to Werner
Chalobah is improving and also a likely goal scorer too
How are we going to play 12 players
Yeah thats a nice one no need for more changes
