New Signings (1/3)
Lampard has primarily switched between 4231 and 343. The addition of Werner, Ziyech and Havertz suggests a long term commitment to 4231 or similar to allow 4 attackers to be fielded - likely Havertz central and Pulisic/Ziyech either side of Werner.

New Signings (2/3)
Yet few 4231s play with 4 genuine attackers - either the AM helps out in midfield (Mount) or the wingers have increased defensive responsibilities (Willian).
Ziyech can play a disciplined role but Pulisic and Havertz are accustomed to more freedom.

New Signings (3/3)
For a team that already struggles defensively this will require some balancing. Thus far Lampard& #39;s approach to fixing his defence was to switch to 343. If he opts to do this again he& #39;ll be forced to leave out some big names from his forward line.

Rotation Risk (1/2)
Werner& #39;s signing is particularly good as his ability to play wide allows you to rotate in backups (Abraham, Giroud) without changing shape or dropping your first choice goalscorer (aka: the Kane Dilemma).

Rotation Risk (2/2)
Chelsea have plenty of versatility across the front 3-4, so you have to expect plenty of rotation and substitutions.
Good news for squad harmony/fitness; bad news for PB consistency
