#2 Cesc Fabregas
Trending
Position: Midfielder
Age: 29
Team: Chelsea
A player who has won the FIFA World Cup, 2 European Championships, amassed numerous trophies in a stellar club career across Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea and also has many personal accolades to his name has found himself in the ignominious position of being on the bench.
After a dream move to boyhood club Barcelona after some wonderful seasons with Arsenal, Fabregas found it difficult to break into a team consisting of the likes of Lionel Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Pedro etc. Even though he did win quite a few trophies with the Blaugranas, he was never a consistent starter.
A move to Chelsea saw him rediscover the form made him one of the best playmakers on the planet, leading the assist charts with 18 as the Blues stormed to the 2014/15 title.
A poor 2015/16 season seemed to have drained him of any confidence and now he can’t seem to get a look in under Antonio Conte; with the Italian preferring the physical pairing of N’Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic in midfield.
He still boasts of excellent technical ability and passing range, showing his worth by scoring 2 goals coming off the bench and assisting Chelsea to a 4-2 over Leicester in the EFL Cup.
Now linked with moves away to PSG and AC Milan, he definitely still has a lot to offer for any of the top clubs on the continent and is too good to be simply sitting on the bench.
