#2 Cesar Azpilicueta (Chelsea, Spain)
After a disappointing 2015/16 season, Conte's Chelsea romped to the Premier League title in 2016/17. Eden Hazard and Diego Costa did most of the scoring, but the hard work was done at the back.
Trending
Cesar Azpilicueta has played every minute of every single Premier League game this season. Sitting on the right side of defence in a 3-4-3 formation, Azpilicueta produced a solid 16/17 season.
He is a ball playing defender and can convert defence into attack in a split second and has a pass accuracy of 88%. He has successfully completed 2000 passes this season and is the only defender in the top 10 of the 'most passes competed' listt.
Chelsea did not play in the Champions League last season, and it may have been the reason for his omission. But, the Spaniard has all the right to be disappointed.
