After a disappointing performance in the 2015-16 season, Eden Hazard has had a rebirth under new boss Antonio Conte. Given freedom on the pitch, he has flourished and has been the driving force of Chelsea’s title-chasing team. The Belgian has scored 10 goals for his club and has assisted four times so far. However, his influence on the pitch cannot be measured just by the stats.

He was one of the highest rated wingers in FIFA 17 with a rating of 89. However, this year, in all probability, it is expected that he will receive a boost in his ratings. Hazard’s overall rating could go up to 90, which in turn, will make him one of the highest rated players in the game.
