Portsmouth vs Villa:

-----------------------Hugo Lloris
--Carvajal---Papadopoulos--Agger---Luke Shaw
--------------Javi Martinez---Luka Modric
--Blaszczykowski--------Draxler---------Arda Turan
--------------------------Aubameyang

Subs: Salvio, Grenier, Dembele, Matic, Lukaku, Jese, Sterling, Marquinhos, El Shaarawy, Halilovic, Goretzka

Warm up for the League match, Dani Carvajal's aim of the game is to rampage down the right flank hard and fast and hunt down the RB. Papadopoulos needs to stay as a rock in defence and win everything in the air using his immense strength to barge players off the ball. Agger is the faster, ball playing CB who loves to have the ball at his feet, and is always there with a tackle. Agger smells danger from miles away, and is very fast for a CB so must track the main CB. Both CBs are good in the air, so between them mist clear any danger from set plays etc. Luke Shaw at LB is very very fast and very good attacking wise, whilst he is no defensive slouch either. He must connect with Turan down the Left flank, and as soon as Turan drifts inside, Luke Shaw must take that space and bomb down the left, whilst his crossing is top class, so must find the heads of Auby and Draxler. In midfield, Martinez plays DM alongisde Modric who is the box to box. Martinez marks the AM out of the game, reading the game well from his position. Martinez is also good coming forward from midfield, so he musn't be afraid to step into the attack where he has good pace and energy. However, when Martinez attacks, Modric must stay back and vice versa. This is because we don't want to get caught out on the break, and leave a gaping hole in the centre of midfield. Modric's job is to drive the team on from CM, using his great power and burst to carry the ball onwards. He will be the one lurking outside the box ready to pounce in the ball, whilst he will he pressing the opposition midfield high up the pitch, winning the ball back before playing the ball out to the wings. Out on the right wing Blaszczykowski will look to cut in on his left foot, and use his great speed and accelaration to turn defenders inside out. His aim is to get to the byline and cross the ball into the box, where our two very good physical strikers will be lurking. Blaszczykowski also has permission to attack the LCB, trying to take him out of position. In AM, Draxler will be staying on the DM/deepest CM, looking to torment him all game long. When the ball comes to the CM, Aubameyang will auomatically drop back and look to pressurise him into losing the ball. Draxler is very nippy, so will often join Auby in the box, looking to get on the end of crosses. On the left Turan is two footed so will use this to his advantage and look to cut in on his right and get inswinging crosses into to Auby/Draxler, or take it on his left and look to skip his way into the box. Turan is very fast, which will be very important when we attack, as we will be looking to release him and Blaszczykowski from deep, and their pace will be very important in clocking up the yards. Up front, Auby will be the finisher, and look to feed off the support from the winger. He will always have Draxler's back, and the two of them must form a partnership to bag us the goals. Icardis movement is on point, and he must try and get around the defence using his quick thinking and knack offinding the net

-------------------- Dea Gea ------------
Arbeloa --- M'sacker -- Sakho -- Bertrand

------------- Toulalan -- Cleverley

Nani -------------- Suarez ------- Welbeck
------------------- Benzema -----------------

Keep hold of the ball, look to stay dominant in possesion and pick them off with pace.

Rigid back 4, FB's stay tight with Bertrand given the freedom to go forward when possible allowing Welbeck to cut inside, M'sacker the dominant CB look to win everything in the air and give the CF a real bashing, Sakho cover tracks

CM's keep the ball rolling and dig in defensively, WG's attack the FB's and keep the shape, Suarez in a free role looking to open up the play and dictate, seamlessly guiding past players and presenting opportunities.

Benzema occupy the CB's and look for that extra yard, work the channels and link with Suarez to exploit their defence.

60th mins subs:
Azpi > Arbeloa
Smalling > Sakho
Valencia > Nani
Ribery > Welbeck
Essien > Toulalan
80th - Gourcuff > Suarez

Chelsea

------------------------Butland-------------------------
Van Rhijn-----Reinartz-----Williams-----Rodriguez
-----------------Capoue------Wilshire-----------------
Min Son----------------Pjanic-----------------Muniain
------------------------Cardozo-------------------------

Onazi, Maher, Werner

Back up crew to face Man Utd

Soild back 4, Williams and Reinartz clear everything, Reinartz the ball player and marks the CF, Williams jst clears everything and helps Reinartz. Fullbacks get forward when in no danger to support the wingers but defend first and foremost - stay tight as a four with young super stopper Butland behind them.

Capoue and Wilshire lookin to claim a first team spot, Capoue the grafter ho picks up the AM not giving him tiime on the ball, Wilshire the ball player who moves the ball about to set up attacks from deep then breaks forward, also helps break up play.

Pjanic links midfield to attack, picks up from behind and look to send the forward three away, with his passing range and movement a big talent can change this game easily..Always moving and following his pass.

Min Son and Muniain drive at fulbacks, cross when possible if not cut in allowing fullbacks to drive passed, use pace to max effect. One twos with Pjanics and drive into box for shot or set up Cardozo.

Surprised many when he moved to Stamford Bridge, big game player and wants to pressurize RVP and Benteke, great goalscorer with either foot and head, leaps early to beat CBs in the air, plenty of movement to get into dangerous positions and bring others into play if cant go himself.

Subs on 65

Like for Like
Onazi for Capoue
Maher for Pjanic

80 Mins
Young Timo Werner for Cardozo

Everton

-------------------Ahamada-----------------
der Wiel----Balanta----Brooks----Criscito
-----------Wanyama----Nainggolan--------
Farfan--------------Nem-------------Destro
------------------N.Helenius-----------------

Johansen, Rhodes, Stones, Adnan

Back four stay tight and strong, Brooks for high balls, Balanta picks up CF, FBs attack when possible, but defend strongly first, stay as a line and only break the line when in no danger, Ahamada is a quality keeper behin them.

Wanayam is the enforcer, right in the face of the AM to stop them controlling the game, nainggolan behind likes to drive forward and pass it about, also great tackler so will help Wanyama break up play when they attack.

AM will have a go, full of pace and skill, Farfan drive at pace at fullback to get crosses in, whereas Destro will cut in more looking for Nem and Helenius to pass and move into the box. Nem full of trickery will try different things and show he is worth a start this weekend, will support the CF as much as poss.

Helenius a big man but has the pace and skill, will dominate CBs and get on the end of Farfans crosses, and look to lay off to Nem and Destro as they drive in to support.

Subs.

Half Time
Stones > der Wiel
Adnan > Criscito

60 Mins
Johansen > Nainggolan
Rhodes > Helenius

---------------------Cech
Juanfran--Subotic---Hummels--Clichy
-------------Illarra--Schwein
Robben-------Kroos-------Cazorla

Cech is a keeper. i think you know what they do
Juanfran - Please try and stop the player from cutting in. if they do that they will create an opportunity. nobody wants that.
Subotic - I want you to stop the striker from moving about in space. if they move about into space then it will be easier for him to score. please dont fack up
Hummels - Help subotic because we know he'll fack up
Clichy - watch Juanfran do it. thats how you do it. no you dont fall over giving the winger and clean room of space to run through.
Illarra be protective of your defence. Imagine it is an abuser trying to abuser your family and you want to protect them.
Schwein get away from illarra he may hurt you if he takes the abuser thing too far. otherwise move forward and open up opportunities.
Robben - i want you to learn how to pass. i know you would rather be given a blow job by a man than pass it but i think its time you learnt. try and create some bloody opportunities will you.
Kroos = whatever you do for bayern munich do the opposite for me. obviously if you actually did the job you were asked for then you would be a starter. get the goals.
Cazorla - Keep the good work and stay better than mata
Rooney - score a few goals and i "promise" i will "increase" your "wage"

2nd half team

Cesar
Juanfran Kirchhoff Doria Clichy
Sandro Moutinho
Lacazette Shelvey Bernard

-------------- Buffon
Rafael --- Pepe - Verts - Filipe
------- De Rossi - Pirlo
Hamsik ---- Tevez ------ Reus
--------------- Villa

Attacking 4-2-3-1. Tevez playing in a deep AM role. Fluid front four. Rigid defensively. Get 8 men back, two lines of four. Tevez buzzing around in front of the four, following the ball from right to left. Villa up top.

Full backs playing very attacking. Pirlo and De Rossi very disciplined, De Rossi playing almost as a 3rd cb at times. Pirlo in front, giving players in front opportunity to go backwards for Pirlo to start the attack again.

Attacking fbs give Hamsik and Reus license to find space and freedom in the final third.

Tevez always scores against Chelsea. And with Villa up top we have plenty of goals in us.

Subs.
After 60 mins bring on Navas for Villa. Tevez up top.
After 70 mins bring on Jones for De Rossi.
After 80 mins bring on Adriano for Reus.
After 80 mins bring on Gerrard for Pirlo.

------------------ De Gea ---------------
Arbeloa --- Ramos -- Chiellini --- Bertrand

----------- Toulalan -- Cleverley
Valencia ------- Mesut Ozil -------- Ribery

------------------ L.Suarez

As we approach the start of the season I'm looking to integrate some of the first-team players into the 11, we'll look to play a pass and move possession style based game looking to feed the front 4 as much as possible so they can do their thing.

Back 4 need to work a good understanding, Ramos + Chiellini will form the back bone and will be the key to success this season, I want Chiellini leading from the front looking to do what he does best look to keep their ST in his shell, Ramos reads between the lines, FB's keep it simple look to support the play when possible

Toulalan and Clev keep things ticking, keep us on top of possession, break up play and ensure we're dictating terms. WG's both provide natural width and give us a plan B, attack the FB's looking to form 3 up top, Ozil do what he does best and that's create chances, ball at his feet as much as possible as he very rarely picks the wrong pass or option

Suarez is a willing runner and his movement and pace will cause all sorts of problems, WG's and Ozil supporting him as much as possible.

60th >
Casillas > De Gea
Azpi > Arbeloa
Monreal > Bertrand
M'sacker > Chiellino
Kondogbia > Toulalan
Benzema > Ozil (Suarez AM)
Nani > Valencia
