I'd play Doyle in front of Fletcher. I've read a lot of posts suggesting that Fletcher should be played as the lone striker with Doyle taking up and advanced midfield role. But I think that Doyle should play the lone striker role with Fletcher in an advanced midfield position.

The reasoning behind this is that Doyle is the best player in the club at playing the lone striker. He chases down long punts up the pitch time after time, holds the ball up and makes something for others. His goal tally is not good enough but his work rate in that lone striker position is second to none in the league.

Fletcher, in my opinion, is the best finisher in the club. Ideally I would like to see him play with a striking partner, but predict that MM will stick with a 4-5-1 formation. The ideal position for Fletcher to play in this formation is just behind Doyle. Let Doyle do the running to allow Fletcher to get in the box and benefit from his hard work. Think of the goals O'Hara has scored recently benefiting from Doyle, imagine if we had Fletcher and O'Hara in the box benefiting from these chances (I know this is not possible at Chelsea).

What would you rather have? Fletcher chasing down and holding the ball up to create a chance for Doyle; or Doyle chasing down and holding up the ball, creating a chance for Fletcher?

Doyle chasing and creating for fletched if I'm honest.
