Jose Mourinho said he is ready to field two strikers at times this season and that all three Chelsea forwards have "special motivations" to show their worth.
Mourinho selected Diego Costa alone in attack last season when the Spain international was fit, with Didier Drogba and Loic Remy deputising in his absence.
With Drogba having departed and Radamel Falcao having arrived on loan, though, Mourinho said he now has more tactical options as he looks to ensure Chelsea are less predictable this season.
"Being more unpredictable is to have different ways to play," he said in an interview with several national newspapers. "With the strikers we have, we can play with two strikers together more than we did before."
Falcao, who played alongside Costa at Atletico Madrid, arrives at Stamford Bridge after a highly disappointing loan spell at Manchester United last season in which he scored just four Premier League goals.
France international Remy, who signed from Newcastle a year ago, also has a point to prove after making only 21 appearances in his debut campaign with Chelsea.
"We have three very good strikers, and all of them with special motivations," Mourinho added. "Remy wants to go back to the national team and has a Euro [2016] to play in a year in his own country.
"Diego is very frustrated because the last three months of the season were full of frustration and injuries for him. Falcao had a very bad season and is frustrated because people in England don't know the real Falcao. All of them are very enthusiastic."
Mourinho said his wingers can now "all play very well defensively" and suggested that would make his life easier when he looks to change his tactics.
"We have options to be different and to be more unpredictable," he said. "We can create problems for the opposition when they play against us. We can play with two strikers or one, so we have more options."
It remains to be seen whether Falcao can reproduce the form he showed prior to the anterior cruciate ligament injury he suffered with Monaco in January last year, but Mourinho said the 29-year-old appears to have recovered physically.

Asked how he might rebuild the Colombia international's confidence, he replied: "I don't have a secret. I just feel it's a new opportunity for him. He comes after a bad season, but it's not up to me to speak about it or find the answers for it.
"I can just say that the analysis we did, and we did a lot of it, showed he is in good condition. We believe he can be very useful for us."
He added: "He's the kind of player who's proved people wrong all of his career -- at Porto, at Atletico and even at Monaco before his injury."
While Falcao failed to produce his best form at Old Trafford, United boss Louis van Gaal recently described the striker as a "fantastic, professional player" and Mourinho said: "It's easy to feel he's a very good professional.
"Even two weeks ago Mr Van Gaal said he has nothing negative to say about him as a person or a professional. He's a guy who always tries to be ready for the team and ready to work. We believe he can be very important for us."
