#4 Who should start upfront?

Should he be Chelsea's no 1 choice upfront this season?
Should he be Chelsea's no 1 choice upfront this season?

With Gonzalo Higuain's loan over, he has been sent back to Juventus. Chelsea are now left with 3 strikers - actually 4 if Morata is also a part of the squad next season.

Lampard's preferred formation is 4-3-3 and switching it to 4-2-3-1 during the game. Keeping that in mind, there 4 players for 1 position.

Morata should not be considered and even if the club makes a loss, then so be it. Morata needs to stay away from Chelsea as much as possible. So that's one down.

Next is Giroud. He should be used more like an impact sub now and then coming on when things need to change a bit upfront. That's two down.

The next two - Batshuayi and Tammy Abraham. These two are most likely to be fighting it out for that 1 position unless the former gets sold/loaned.

Assuming they both stay, Abraham had a great last season with Villa and helped them get promoted to the Premier League. He had John Terry to guide him and now has Lampard. He is definitely hungry for goals and eager to prove himself and should be the No. 1 choice.

Michy has not yet lived up to his full potential since he arrived at the Stamford Bridge. He had a great time with Dortmund before an injury ruled him out for the rest of the season. However, at Valencia, it was a disappointing loan spell and was even cut short. He then joined Palace in the winter transfer window.

But at Crystal Palace, he scored vital goals and the fans would like for him to come back. He has another chance to prove himself at Chelsea during the pre-season.
