The article focuses on the London club's transfer policy, which includes loaning out a massive number of players. Media outlets counted as many as 19 Chelsea players on loan, enough to form a competitive squad complete with substitutes.
"In fact, Chelsea currently has so many players out on loan that you could assemble a fairly convincing squad that could likely compete at least in the Championship," the publication suggests.
The authors of the article believe that 18-year-old Kazakhstan national team winger Dastan Satpayev, who is currently playing for Burnley, would start for this imaginary Chelsea side.

Dastan Satpayev: The Journey in England
As a reminder, Kazakhstan's Dastan Satpayev moved to Chelsea from Kairat in mid-June. Since then, he has appeared in several friendly matches for the London side and even scored his debut goal.
However, the club's management and coaching staff decided to send the winger on loan to Championship side Burnley. Dastan quickly earned the manager's trust and has started in the team's last three matches.
