------------------Dier(he is actually doing a good job in DM)

------------Eriksen--------Bentaleb--------------


Dembele/Njie-------------------------Chadli---------


------------------------Kane--------------



demebele or njie depending who we are playing.

dier in DM until we buy a proper DM.

Lloris
Trippier
Toby
Diet
Rose

Mason
Bentaleb
Dembele

Chadli
Kane
Lennon

My formation can also adapt to a 4-2-3-1

Lloris
Walker Aldy Vertonghen Rose
Dier Bentaleb
N'Jie Eriksen Chadli
Kane

Bentaleb or Mason at this moment I don't really mind, though I think Bentaleb is more talented.

Obviously this would change depending on the opposition, but if I had to pick a single 4231 it'd be:

Lloris

Rose
Vertonghen
Alderweireld
Walker

Bentaleb
Dembele

Chadli
Eriksen
Lennon

Kane

Walker is looking like his old self, and Rose was outstanding last season. I'd like a bigger partner for Alderweireld, but Wimmer is unproven and Fazio is Fazio.

Bentaleb is the best passer in the midfield, and Dembele shores us up in a 4231.

Eriksen, Chadli and Rose are a great combo down the left so that'd be the left side. Lennon still our best option on the right, good pace and a nice contrast .

If I had the choice, I'd rather go with a 442 at home (Eriksen given the licence to roam from the left):

Lloris

Rose
Vertonghen
Alderweireld
Walker

Eriksen
Bentaleb
Mason
Lennon

Adebayor
Kane

Old school

Away from home a 433:

Lloris

Rose
Vertonghen
Alderweireld
Walker

Dembele
Bentaleb
Mason

Eriksen
Kane
Chadli


*I haven't included Alli, N'Jie, Wimmer, Trippier in these sides as I have no idea how they will do long term

No, nor has anyone else (got any idea) but unless you play them you will never know.

I wouldn't want to get into an argument about the quality of Walker over Trippier but what I would say is that Trippier has a better reading of the game and is more aware of the team aspect than Walker.

Trippier offers something different and we need that.

Keep doing what you are doing and you will keep getting what you get. And I along with others do not think that Kane will be our saviour this year.

433 or 5311

Width on the coreect side, spread the play, stretch the game and more forward passing.

It does not matter the eleven you will see an improvement. See Palace and leicester for examples.

GK:Hugo
LB:Rose (funny how he is everybody fav LB now) I always rated him
CB:Vertonghan
CB:Alderweireld
RB:Trippier
CDM:New signing please
CM:Bentaleb/Alli
AM:Eriksen
LW:Chadli
RW:N'jie(know little about him but surely more potential than anything we currently have
ST:Kane (also want Austin/Hernandes brought in as back up!

If we sign berahino he can cover N'jie, Chadli and Eriksen positions and should get plenty of gametime. Wimmer and Dier as backup to CB. I used to love Dembele but he frustrates the hell out of me. Lamela definitely has talent but he isn't physical enough for the EPL.
