Now that the transfers are done, this is what my Starting XI would be.

----------------Cesar----------------
Bosingwa----Mbia----Hill--------Traore
Park--------Diakite---Granero---Hoilett
---------------Taarabt---------------
----------------Cisse----------------

Subs:
Green
Faurlin to come on Granero or Taarabt
Zamora to come on for Cisse
Fabio
Mackie
Johnson
Murphy

I would absolutely love to see Adel play with Granero, and would give him a free-role in the team where he can move around the pitch. That would bring out the best in his creativity.

I think Nelsen is playing better than Hill currently and although Fabio isn't without fault, Traore is a poor LB defensively. His forte is further up the filed and crossing (Stoke & Man city last year ?)

I agree about Adel & Granero, but I'd play Adel instead of Hoilett, especially at home.
Cisse is not a lone striker / target man - he doesn't hold the ball up as well as Zamora (a la Swansea), so I'd play him off Bobby. Which seemed to work fairly well last year (at home anyway).

Finally, I don't think we need 2 Keepers on the Bench !
So for me v Chelsea

Cesar
Bosingwa, M'bia, Nelsen, Fabio
Park, Diakite, Granero, Taarabt
Cisse, Zamora

Subs: Green, Onouha, Ferdinand, Faurlin, Hoilett, Johnson, Mackie
