#4 Cesar Azpilicueta
Trending
From an indispensible international starter to an international squad player, Azpilicueta seems to be doomed to play the Arbeloa-esque backup full back simply because he can play both sides. While Juanfran, Alba and Carvajal may shade him out for Spain, he is proving to be irreplaceable for Chelsea where he is again playing in a new position.
From left back, to right wing back, to ball playing centre back supporting Victor Moses, Azpilicueta seems to fit seamlessly wherever Chelsea’s latest manager has a hole to plug. This is not to diminish him as a player though, as his man marking is as close to shutdown as you see in England, and being adept on the ball helps as well.
Jamie Carragher described him as the best defender in the league following a recent clean sheet and assist against Crystal Palace. With the 3-4-3 formation making the Blues very tough to beat, many others may be saying that sooner rather than later.
