Chelsea XI vs. Recycled Plastic (Chelsea cast-off) XI

Just thinking about the fact that the two top vote getters for the PFA were Chelsea cast-offs...who would win a game between the two and which would finish ahead in a PL table.
Current Chelsea -
GK - Courtois
CB - Azpilicueta, Cahill, Rudiger/Luiz/Christensen
WB - Moses and Alonso
CM - Kante and Fab
Attack - Hazard, Pedro/William and Morata
Recycled Plastic XI -
Thinking 4-4-2 to get the strikers on, but maybe a 4-3-3..
GK - Cech
DEF - Cuadrado, Ake, Van Aanholt/Huth/Luis, Bertrand/Luis (also can David Luiz count on each team?)
MID - Mata, KDB, Matic, Salah
FWD - Costa and Lukaku
The cast-off team would definitely be a better attack. But the defense - particularly CB and the aging Cech, isn't up to par.
I think Current Chelsea may do better in a knock-out round type setting head to head. But the plastic likely finish higher in the league. Plastic may also have better depth
Thoughts? Did I forgot anyone?

DEF
Both defenses are bang average
Kante can’t stop everyone in that midfield

Cuadrado - yeah, I’m reaching a bit but doesn’t he play RWB right now? Maybe should go 3 at the back for the plastics too.

I think Zouma should be a starting defender for the castoff team.

Heck John Terry is still better than any CB we have playing right now.

Thought about putting him as captain of the cast-offs, but I don't really see a guy who played there for his entire life until he got really really old as a cast-off. Very unlike KDB, Salah, etc.

Fair enough, but I was serious about what I said. He's def better than anyone we've got except a fit and focused Luiz.
