#5 Chelsea: Eden Hazard
Eden Hazard has been criticised for not maintaining a sustained standard of performances regularly, but little could be done about it when he plays in a team like Chelsea who themselves are far too inconsistent. After winning the Premier League title last season, the team weren't expected to defend their title after City and United's lavish spending.
However, they had a good enough team to make it into the top four, something that hasn't been the case this season. Unlike the 2015/16 season, Hazard has tried his best to influence the proceedings in a positive way this time as he has regularly tried to save his team from the blushes. If they had the presence of someone like Diego Costa, maybe the Belgian could have had a better season as he can't do it all on his own.
Alvaro Morata has messed up the heaps of chances that he has created and Conte even played Hazard out of his position as a false 9 for a significant period of time this season.
Even then, Hazard has scored 12 goals in 30 Premier League appearances whilst having created 77 goal-scoring opportunities too. Four of those opportunities resulted in assists but the numbers could have been a lot better had his teammates been more clinical in front of the goal.
Hazard has had an 82% success rate while taking on the opponents, something that shows that he is always eager to create unrest in the opposition half with his mesmerizing dribbling prowess. Hazard has delivered 2.5 key passes on an average in each Premier League game and that demonstrates his eagerness to regularly create goal-scoring chances for his teammates. Overall, on a personal level, Eden Hazard has had a satisfactory season to be honest.
Honorable Mention: Cesar Azpilicueta
