Attacking Midfielder – Eden Hazard

After a disappointing campaign last season, Hazard has been Chelsea’s best player this season. His 11 goals and six assists in all competitions is better than a year ago, while the Belgian is a key playmaker offensively for Chelsea. He is a world-class forward that loves to use his flare and skill consistently. Hazard has netted a goal or added an assist in his last three matches, which shows his importance to the team. If Chelsea want to be a huge-threat in England and Europe consistently, Hazard will need to continue this strong campaign for the next few years.
