CHELSEA: The possible future of Chelsea? I wanted to put Daniel Sturridge in, but I couldn't find a place trying to pick the best Chelsea team (I hope he does find a place to play though next year, because he's got great pace and skills, but needs better decision making). Hazard will now sign for Chelsea, may be amazing, may be awful, but I'll go with the first guess. If he is all that they think he is, he will have no problem working his way into the first team. because he wanted the #10 spot, I had to move Juan Mata out to the left, which should be no problem for a player of his kind. Marko Marin seems like a promising signing also, but with all the hype around the other new signings, Hulk and Hazard win the popularity contest. Yes, Hulk. I think it's almost safe to say that he will be joining Chelsea next year; he can play as a striker, a right wing, or a left wing, but I thought it would be interesting to put him and Torres up top together. Hopefully Torres will conjure up some of his Euro 2008 days into the Chelsea team next year. I really tried to find a spot for Ramires, and thought about him as a defensive mid, but Mikel has done a pretty good job this year and would out muscle Ramires any day. Ramires is a good midfield defender, but the only reason I would put him as a defensive mid is because of his crazy runs down the field (Examples: Barcelona, Liverpool, etc.). He would normally play a right mid, but I like Frank Lampard too much to leave him out. Defense is pretty solid; David Luiz could be interchangeable with Cahill, but Cahill usually makes fewer mistakes, but if it was a great David Luiz vs an Average Cahill, I would choose Luiz. Cech... obviously. I hope Essien starts to preform better, because he has been almost sub-par since coming back from that injury. I hope Lukaku and Bertrand find their way into the first team this year also. As for Malouda, Kalou, and Meireles, they can all preform, but consistency is something they need to work on for Chelsea.
