Chelseamf. Judging by Sarri's lineup vs Leipzig last season, i'd imagine we will be heavily rotating whoever we get.
Infact i reckon our current first choice Xl won't be featuring atall.
Sarri was putting all his eggs into winning the league title basket, hence heavy rotation at the time. Had no real interest in cup competitions.
Can't do that at Chelsea.

Don't be so naive as to think we will cruise the league this year.
Rotation will happen but fringe will be favoured over the youth names I mentioned If it's a tough group.
We have a great squad now so expect us to do well in the cups.

Namely Moses over Hudson-Odoi.
Giroud over Tammy.
Cahill/DW over Ampadu.
Loftus-Cheek I see starting whoever the opponent (In cup competitions).
Izzy Brown to Leeds, loan

I think the group stage is full rotation and assuming we qualify our league position will define how seriously Sarri takes the knockouts.
If were in a title race i think he'll bin it. If we are comfortably in top four but not in the title race he'll prioritize Europa, likewise if top 4 is looking very unlikely, ala United 16/17. The worst case situation would probably be us in a favorable position in the top 4 race because i think then Sarri will go all out for both which could leave the squad tanked.

What is your definition of a great squad?
We have a better midfield that’s all.

Mount's first call-up to u21
Did Foden get a main team call up as rumoured? As talented as the lad is that would be the most ridiculous call up off all time should it happen.

Says UEFA will launch a THIRD competition, with 32 teams, from 2021.
The Champions League will remain in its current structure, while the Europa League will condense.
The group stages of Europe's second-tier competition currently includes 48 teams, but will apparently be reduced to 32 teams.
Sides from smaller nations will allegedly instead compete in the new tournament, which is reportedly set to be shown largely on online platforms.

More than 1 or 2 talented versatile players for one position.
Winger - hazard, willian, pedro, CHO
Midfield- kovacic,kante,RLC,Barkley, Fabregas, Dwater
etc etc.
Feel our biggest weakness in terms of depth is up top.
