I've been saying for awhile, I would love to see a 3-5-2 (3-1-4-2 of sorts). Courtois Azpi / Luiz / Cahill* Fabregas Willian / Kante / Matic / Alonso Costa / Hazard *When Zouma comes back, he needs to slot into one of the three CB spots, preferably over Cahill. Terry for depth. Small sample size with Azpi in the back 3 but so far, so good. Not sure if he really should be a permanent wingback, either. He's too good of a player to not play... ...segmenting right into Cesc Fabregas. Far too important to have only cameo appearances when we're chasing the game. He plays better in a deeper midfield position. It's shown time and time again. Push Matic and Kante ahead of him and let him do his thing. Kante should be in the box to box mold. Matic can drop back when Cesc pushes up the field in attack. Alonso staying put at LWB. I would like to see more competition at this spot next season with Rahman and even Ake. Willian (or Moses in that RWB role that Moses performed very well). Moses looked aggressive and dangerous. He does need to work on his passing accuracy; that was one of my complaints from that performance in the role. I think Willian would be capable of this. Pushing Hazard to a SS position, paired with Costa could do wonders. His defensive assignments would be much more limited and it would put him closer to goal, win-win, in my eyes. Bench consisting of: Batman, Moses, Oscar, Mikel (Chalobah/RLC), Ivanovic, Terry, Begovic

I figure this is a good problem to have, but really, this is a move for next year if it were to happen. Forget about Terry; we should not rely on him at his age. Christensen is more interesting if this were to happen. Assuming he comes back, both he and Bonucci will be accustomed to the back 3 so I assume they would be the preference. From there, if Zouma comes back full force (hopefully so by next season), Luiz should not hinder his development. Luiz would be great depth and good for games against smaller clubs. I would be thrilled with those four CBs going forward. Not sure what this means for Azpi though. Not sure he is a proper wingback.
