Chelsea’s ACTUAL squad is more than manageable regardless of what agenda the media has against us
How would YOU manage it?
Good Evening Ladies and Gents,
Nizaar Kinsella has kindly posted this picture on twitter today to give some actual context to the false accusations in the media of a ridiculous sized squad Chelsea apparently have.
At least we know where some of these pundits get their information……..social media.
Anybody with half a brain cell and 30 seconds to look at the list of players most pundits have been discussing this weekend could instantly remove 10+ players from the grid like Nizaar did, in fact Nizaar removed 20 that will either be with the PL2 side, sold or loaned this window.
With the imminent arrival of Joao Felix along with a new striker and potentially a further centre back in (if one departs plus Chalobah) the squad would be up to 25 as usual.
There is obviously space for 20 on a matchday with the 3rd keeper always missing out (unless Pochettino is in charge), there will be the standard injuries, suspensions etc etc through a season and obviously lots of football to contend with, with the probable inclusion of a Europa Conference League campaign.
I think 25 is a really good number to cover any absentees but still ensure that the players are all getting good minutes.
How would YOU manage the squad and rotate, what would your first 11 be?
I also want to know these predictions for the season ahead:
Top Scorer
Top Assister
POTY
YPOTY (20 or under)
Unsung Hero
Let me know in the comments.
Thanks for participating!

At last an article that confirms what I’ve been saying to so many people over the past 10 to 14 days. Thank you Luke for putting it out there. The journalists and commentators are just talking down on us because they don’t like us and they cannot look at the bigger picture There is a plan, there has always been a plan. It just hasn’t been put together and presented in a calm way that we would all like. I have to be honest I used to look forward to the Spare window now. I just want this one over!
Top Scorer New striker or Jackson
Top Assister Palmer
POTY Nkunku or Colwill
YPOTY (20 or under) Lavia
Unsung Hero Caicedo
This has been blindingly obvious to anyone with half a brain for ages. I don’t expect any favours for Chelsea from the media, who are having far too much fun perpetuating the bloated squad/club of chaos narrative - but the numbers of Chelsea ‘fans’ who’ve gone along with it is a bit annoying.
