Chelsea Football Formation
Lineup (3-4-2-1)
Wayne Rooney · Eden Hazard · Juan Mata · Oscar · Frank Lampard · Ashley Cole · Pablo Zabaleta · David Luiz · Micah Richards · Branislav IvanovicAttack;
Zabaleta and Ashley Cole alternating attack as suits when on other side WB covering around tip of centre circle out wide in line with Luiz.
Luiz central covering around edge of centre circle offering option forward without committing too much.
Oscar and Lampard around edge of box one up on slightly drop as the play moves with intention of getting into the box for cross/pass to assist the striker
Hazard and Mata alternating also slightly less with Rooney all have to be aware to get in the box front near post or flat/deep as it plays out and also have the intention to get wide when the play is on their side to look for cross and/or draw the defender.
Defense;
Zabaleta and Ashley Cole to drop deep around centre circle line when the play is on the opposite side, have the intention to look forward as the play spreads across and to give a long ball option square, but have the eye to be deep enough to cover midfielders/wide players pushing forward or having enough room to get behind the WB with a fast counter.
Luiz offers support both sides to the WB as central cover with Richards and Ivanovic dropping deeper behind the WB and Luiz covering anything in behind whilst not drifting too far away from the central strikers and attacking midfielders with other cb shuffling across to centre and opposite wb in a r/l central position around edge of box
Hazard Mata and Rooney dropping to surrounding area of centre circle in own half dropping deep enough to cover but staying high enough for the counter
