Chelsea Formation 2012

Chelsea Football Formation

Creation DateAugust 16, 2012

Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Fernando Torres/Radamel Falcao · Hulk/Oscar · Eden Hazard · Juan Mata · Ramires · Frank Lampard (vc) · César Azpilicueta · David Luiz · John Terry (c) · Ashley Cole · Petr Cech

The three attacking midfielders can interchange each other to confuse defenders whilst playing a killer ball to Fernando Torres or scoring themselves. Frank Lampard's age suggests that he will be less capable of keeping with the flow and pace of the game, but his work rate is tremendous, so it would be ideal to play him in a holding midfield role to help in both attacking and defending which he is capable of. I don't intend to replace John Terry, so David Luiz or Gary Cahill can fight for a centre back spot as they are very similar players in terms of playing style. It's an almost new look side for the European Champions.
