#7 Eden Hazard (Chelsea)

Eden Hazard inspired Chelsea to the EPL title last year

Eden Hazard can easily be deemed as the best player in the current Chelsea side. The Belgian has been excellent since his arrival to the Premier League, thanks to his fantastic vision, dribbling, and scoring prowess. Whenever Hazard is neutralised by the opponents, the Blues always find it a tedious job to score, owing to the scarcity of chances.

The 26-year-old endured a rough season in Jose Mourinho's last campaign at Chelsea but quickly reinstated himself as Chelsea's Player of the Year under Antonio Conte in their title-winning 2016/17 league campaign.

Coming to the present scenario, Eden Hazard is aptly fulfilling his playmaking duties by operating as a number ten and a second striker dependant on where Conte sees fit to play him.

He has created 41 chances in the Premier League and the Champions League, registering 4 assists in the process. Also, he has proved to be equally effective with goal-scoring, having netted 8 goals across both the competitions.

With Chelsea third in the league, Eden Hazard must fire consistently if the Blues want to clinch the title for the second straight year. Also, the Blues have a tough task of keeping their prized asset safe from the prying eyes of Real Madrid.
