Chelsea new formation 2019
The 2019-2020 Chelsea FC season saw the team play in a 4-3-3 formation under manager Frank Lampard. Here's a breakdown of the typical starting lineup and positions:
Defenders:
- César Azpilicueta (Right-back)
- Antonio Rüdiger (Center-back)
- Kurt Zouma (Center-back)
- Emerson Palmieri (Left-back)
Midfielders:
- N'Golo Kanté (Defensive midfielder)
- Jorginho (Deep-lying playmaker)
- Mason Mount (Attacking midfielder)
Forwards:
- Willian (Right-winger)
- Tammy Abraham (Center-forward)
- Christian Pulisic (Left-winger)
This formation allowed Chelsea to dominate possession, with Jorginho and Kanté controlling the midfield and Mount providing creativity from a deeper position. The front three of Willian, Abraham, and Pulisic offered pace and width, with Azpilicueta and Emerson providing width from the full-back positions.
However, it's worth noting that Lampard did experiment with different formations and lineups throughout the season, so this was not the only formation Chelsea played with.
