I expect Fabregas will partner Matic deeper.

Cahill will play alongside Terry.

Schurrle will rotate with Oscar and Willian in to two places with Hazard virtually guaranteed the third.

Azpilicueta, Luis and Ivanovic will take a few weeks to settle, hard to predict. Many assume Luis will start on the left, Ivanovic on the right and then Azi will displace Ivanovic a couple months in to the season.

Not necessarily the team that starts but I expect Jose’s strongest team will become:

=====Costa
Hazardscar==Schurrle/Willian

==Matic==Fabregas

Luis==Terry==Cahill==Azi

========Courtois

I expect the team to be...

Cech,
Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta,
Ramires, Matic,
Schurrle, Fabregas, Hazard,
D.Costa.

There's a possibility that Courtois, Luis, Oscar, Willian, Salah could start but I think Jose will pick that team.

Fabregas will play deep with Matic for most of the season. Oscar will play no10.

Ivanovic,Azpi,Luis will rotate quite a lot I reckon.

I'd start Schurrle as well and I think he'll be ahead of Willian for most of the season. (Willian is good though!)

Think I'll go for Cahill then. Luis only joined the squad recently I believe?

I think Milk&BlackSpiders team looks strongest on paper, I'd sacrifice Oscar to play Cesc further up.

I'd only start Ramires because it's a tough away game and his pace and workate could be useful.

But normally I'd go for,
Fabregas, Matic,
Scurrle, Oscar, Hazard,
Costa.

I'm still not sold on Oscar, he has a beautiful technique when striking and controlling a ball though

Ramires is suspended for the season opener.

Courtois

Azpi Cahill JT Luis

Matic

Oscar Fabregas

Schurrle Costa Hazard

Matic will be deep lying with both Oscar and Fabregas ahead of him. More 4123 than 433.

Sociedad match, will determine who starts against Burnley in the fullback positions and in two attack positions(Eden has the left locked down).

I expect us to line up on monday with cech, ivan, cahill, terry, azpi, cesc, matic, Oscar, willian, hazard and costa.

but over the season luis and courtois will replace cech and ivan. With schurrle roatating with any of the attacking midfielders at regular intervals
