#1 César Azpilicueta
Some might argue the Spaniard's position on the list, given Chelsea's shambolic defensive displays against Bournemouth and Watford. I beg to differ. It would be harsh to single out the players as Chelsea's problems are much serious than what one sees.

Azpilicueta was one of the finds of the season as a centre-back in 2016. The 28-year-old had regularly featured as a full-back for the Blues but is enjoying a renaissance under the Italian manager. Conte decided to play the Spanish full-back at the right of a back-three.
Ever since, the defender has been in sensational form and appears to be irreplaceable at his new position. Maybe, it is the only positive to take from Chelsea's miserable season.
Despite being a centre-back, he has provided some sensational crosses for the Chelsea striker, Alvaro Morata. With his looping balls over the top of the opposition's defence he has grabbed six assists this season.
For his versatility and vision, Cesar Azpilicueta earns the numero uno spot on the list.
