Eden Hazard remains the Premier League's most highly rated player
Remaining at the top of this list is Chelsea’s Belgian superstar Eden Hazard. The Blues have seen an upturn in fortunes recently after the nadir that was their 6-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City in early February, and despite only making 1 assist in his last 3 Premier League outings, Hazard has still remained a consistent performer for Maurizio Sarri’s side.

With 12 goals and 11 assists to his name this season, he’s as dangerous an attacking player as they come in the Premier League.
Are there any areas for improvement? Hazard has completed 72 key passes – more than any other player on this list, and his pass success rate of 82.6% remains high. Where he could get better is his shot conversion – he’s taken 72 shots at goal this season meaning he’s converted around 16%, a lower total than the likes of Salah, Kane and Aguero. But then Hazard isn’t a pure striker like those men – and has more assists than any of them.
Despite being substituted in Chelsea’s last two league fixtures, you have to wonder where they’d be without him – he’s their highest scoring player using this system by far – and it’s no surprise that Real Madrid supposedly have him top of their shopping list.
