Chelsea: Grading The Squad For 2017/18

Andreas Christensen

A star in the making

Places were up for taking in Chelsea's defence this season and Christensen has enjoyed a career-defining season with the club. Chelsea fans have been crying out for one of their youth players to make a mark at the club and it looks as if their prayers have been answered.

He managed to play 40 games in all competition which is a brilliant number for a 22-year-old under an Italian manager. His positional sense and ability to react quickly to situations needs to be credited for it's fair to say that the player has made a name for himself among the Chelsea faithful owing to performances.

He seemed to run out of steam towards the end of the season which is acceptable but thankfully, Cahill managed to find his feet at the right moment.

It seemed a mystery as to how Victor Moses, nothing but an outcast, evolved to be one of Chelsea's vital cogs when they raced to the title last season.

His peculiar mix of attributes- high work rate, quick and physical enough to nullify most wingers enabled Conte to play him as a right wing-back and the Nigerian continued his form this season as well.

Of course, there were occasions in which he looked out of sorts, but since almost every Chelsea player failed to perform consistently, we can cut him some slack.
