Hazard will be a very important for Chelsea this season

The Belgian has seemingly carried on where he left off for his country at the Euros and Conte could not have asked for more. Despite being a shadow of himself for the majority of last season, Hazard has started this season in ominous fashion.

If his performances so far are anything to go by, Chelsea fans will have a lot to smile about for the remainder of the campaign.

#9 Central attacking midfielder: Oscar

The Brazilian, who had a promising start to his life at Chelsea, has gone under the radar in the past two seasons and was heavily linked with a move away in the summer.

His impressive performances at the start of this season will ensure that he regularly features under Conte.

Oscar has the ability to make a defense-splitting pass and is also good at closing down opponents.

#10 Right wing: Willian

Willian was the lone silver lining, in an otherwise dark and gloomy campaign for Chelsea last season.

More importantly, he has started this campaign in a similar vein. The Brazilian’s attacking prowess, combined with his willingness to get back and help his team out defensively, is what makes him an asset to any team.

The Brazilian also has a strong right foot, can hit from distance and is brilliant at free-kicks. He will continue to be one of Chelsea’s most valuable players.
