From my experience, the best option for Chelsea would be a shift to a 4-3-2-1 formation, focusing on quick flank attacks and positional interlocking. A traditional 4-3-3 often leaves "empty" zones between the defensive and attacking lines, while a 3-5-2 would overload the midfield, especially since Pochettino doesn’t currently have reliable enough central strikers. In the 4-3-2-1 system, Pairez and Chillwell can operate as "inside forwards," creating double combinations on the wings, while Madueke, as a "shadow" midfielder, would provide quick transitions from defense to attack. Plus, this setup allows for a rapid shift to a more compact positional play if needed to control possession. Ultimately, flexibility, width, and quick transitions are what Chelsea need most in the upcoming season.
