      Only really Kante, Sterling, and James would make the starting lineup though no? Maybe Chilwell, but they spent 70M or something on LB Cucurella anyway.

        Lol. Chilwell would 100% start over Cucurella of late. Kovacic is also injured/being managed, and he definitely starts. Fofana may have been ahead of Chalobah in a RCB position too. Even Zakaira been okay.
