DC: John Terry
Still club captain and first choice, John Terry is sure to remain a key figure for Chelsea this season, whoever is brought in.
DC: Antonio Rudiger
Another £20m target from the Bundesliga this summer, Stuttgart centre-back Antonio Rudiger could also be brought in to help the club’s defence, possibly replacing Gary Cahill as first choice.
DM: Nemanja Matic
One of the best defensive midfielders in Europe at the moment, Nemanja Matic is sure to keep his place at the heart of Chelsea’s midfield engine room.
MC: Cesc Fabregas
Despite a recent dip in form, Cesc Fabregas should continue as one of the Blues’ main men in the middle of the park in 2015/16.
MC: Koke
An ambitious target from Atletico Madrid, Koke could be an ideal long-term heir to Fabregas’ place in the team, but would also make a superb partner for his fellow Spaniard this season.
