#4 David Luiz

David Luiz has had a mixed season, starting well in form and now left to warm the bench

Gary Neville on David Luiz - "He looks like he's being controlled by a 10-year-old on a PlayStation." He later had to retract, seeing David Luiz's performance after returning to Stamford Bridge for a second stint. He then went on to say that David Luiz had gone from being controlled by a 10-year-old on a PlayStation to perfect.

But this season, the Brazilian defender has definitely had a mixed stint with Chelsea, starting well before things took a turn for the worst after being chided by their manager for showing displeasure over being substituted in the Champions League match against Roma.

The Brazilian defender has not started for Chelsea in their last five games following the fallout with manager Antonio Conte. He has been replaced by Andreas Christensen, who has been a delight on the pitch. The young Danish has impressed with his skills, being the only second academy player to start three consecutive matches for Chelsea after John Terry.

This has been followed by rumours of Real Madrid approaching Chelsea to loan Luiz this January with an option to buy.

To further his woes, he has been replaced on the bench too with a much younger and inexperienced Ethan Ampadu for the last couple of games. Let's just hope it ends in an amicable fashion, unlike Diego Costa's case.
