- Ivanovic isn't good enough to start week in week out CB
- Luiz is no DM. Let's let him settle at CB before putting him in positions he hasn't done well in before
- I think Modric wouldn't be as good in an AM position. He doesn't score many goals or makes assists. He'd be better in the two behind him, making quick passes to Mata, Sturridge etc, who can then do the damage in the final third.
- Cole is better than Perriera

My ideal team (with rotation) would be:

------------------------------Cech---------------------------------
-Bosingwa/Ivan--Luiz/Alex-----Terry---Cole/Bertrand-
----Ramires/Frank-----Mikel/Romeu---Modric/Josh---
----Sturridge-----------Torres/Lukaku---------Mata-------

I will agree that Modric does not have many assists in a season but CHANCES created he was the 2nd most chances created in the PL last season behind Fabregas, the only reason he wasn't in the top 3-4 players for assists is because Spurs have got rubbish strikers.

I agree. But in the position OP is in he's playing almost as a second striker. That is not his position. He dictates play, he's not the player who gets the passes, he'stthe player who makes them hence why he plays deeper. Whatever team he's at he won't get much assists, it's not just that Spurs have rubbish strikers otherwise they'd score no goals

He makes to many mistakes at CB for me to consider him a full-time CB. When we hve Alex at the back I'm more comfortable with that. He's been one of our best players these last 2 seasons at RB so I don't see any reason why he can't continue to play there and cover at his natural position CB. I think we see more f Ramires and the best of him in his natural position, and the same with Ivanovic btu just at RB

Modric can play in the middle not behind striker and whats , this is my opinion my squad whose the wum rating this 1 star joker

But Ramires is playing in essentially the same position he played for Benfica. This is his natural position.

When Ivanovic makes a mistake at RB it's not as likely to get a goal conceded though

I also prefer Iva at RB. Though he's good at centre back, I feel right back is his stronger position. He is underrated going forward, as he's hard to stop and he can put a good ball in at the end. I like Luiz and Terry at the back as it's similar to the JT/Carvalho partnership, being that JT gets stuck in, and if he mucks up, Luiz can sweep up as he has bags of pace.
Ivanovic is my favourite player so IMO he's miles better than Bos - but he's had a cracking start to the new season.

Cech
Ivanovic Luiz JT Cole
Mikel
Ramires Lampard/McEachran
Sturridge Torres Mata

If Torres continues his bad form I'd be happy to bring Kakuta in on the right and move Studge inside. Or use the obvious replacement Lukaku.

Cech
Ivanovic/Bosingwa/Van Der Wiel? Terry Luiz/Alex Cole/Bertrand

Ramires Essien/Mikel/Romeu Modric/Lampard/Josh

Sturridge Torres/Lukaku Mata
