Top 5 most creative Chelsea players in 2013/14

Juan Mata

2. Juan Mata – 30 chances created

What may come as a surprise to many is to see Mata so high up considering he’s only featured in 13 Premier League games, starting 11 of them.

His 30 chances are a sublime figure when you consider he’s completed just two full matches in the league this season. If you add the speculation surrounding his future to the situation then it becomes an even better statistic. He is averaging 2.3 key passes per game which is the same figure as the man who tops this list.

Mata, like Ramires and Oscar, has two assists to his name.

His lack of defensive work-rate is said to be the main reason why Mourinho won’t give him a proper chance in his sidebut one wonders why when he’s one of the most creative attacking midfielders in world football.

1. Eden Hazard – 52 chances created

Eden Hazard

Chelsea’s key man this season and the player likely to be the one that brings the Premier League trophy back to Stamford Bridge. Hazard has not only created the most chances at Chelsea, but he’s the highest creator in the whole division.

The Belgian has been fantastic for the Blues this season and looks like he’s being moulded into a world class attacking midfielder by Mourinho.

He has assisted five goals, too, which just adds to his sublime figure. Hazard is the key to Chelsea retaining the titleand if he carries on in this vein of form, creating chances at will, the Blues have a great chance of finishing top in May.
