Starting X1

I didn't watch the game yesterday but it seems to me based on the minutes of the last 2 games that Lampard knows the team he's going to start with against Utd barring 2 positions. It looks between Christianson and Luiz partnering Zouma in central defence and between Barkley and Mount as to who starts in the number 10 role.

Kepa
Azpi Zouma Luiz Emerson
Kante Kovacic/Jorginho
Pedro Barkley Pulisic
Tammy

It'll be that vs United, not sure who he prefers out of Kovacic and Jorginho.

Agreed. Although there’s a chance Mount could start. But everything else seems set.
Looking forward to James, CHO and RLC pushing for first team places once they’re fit.

I don't think Kante will start against Utd but I can see him coming on after 60-65 minutes to help build his match fitness up.

I'm really excited to seeing James in the premier league hopefully he'll take his opportunity to nail down a starting place.

I am surprised with how highly people are rating Zouma, for me based on the pre season he is 4th choice......even behind an injured Rudiger. Saw nothing pre season that suggest he has improved much since the last time he was here, and seriously lets not give him time on the ball - this is when for me he is at the worse, and yesterday had to much of a tendency to pass backwards

He was good last time he was here

The only reason we let him go was because of the injury and those who got their chance during his injury stepping up.

Mount wont start
Barkley will play 10

tammy will start, looks like bats is on his way out

im not to fussed about the missed chances, the positive is we got in those positions

Who's your penalty taker now without Hazard?

Doing my FF team finally, looking at Pulisic but always wary of new signings straight away.

Think Barkley could be good value for £6m though in Lampards setup.

Usually a top 6 side having their starting CF at only £7m (Abraham) would be a no brainer for FF as the third or second striker, but will he score enough?

Doesn't seem to be a certain penalty taker as of yet. Tammy & Barkley took them last game.

I'd probably go for Barkley if I was picking a Chelsea player, good value at £6mil and is likely to start the season in the no 10 role.

Not sure what we'll get with Tammy so he's a gamble at £7mil but he could easily hit the ground running.

With CHO and RLC back,we will have a wealth of riches in midfield,up front I think we might be ok with Geroud,Tammy and maybe Bats,our problems are L/B and C/Bs,still not sure on AC or Zouma,but both good for the bench.
Emerson looked very shaky against BM,and Alonso blows hot and cold,maybe when James comes in at R/B,Dave can revert to L/B to give us another option.

All in all, I think we will have a very interesting season,and we will make top 4.
