Cesc Fabregas
Another player who has shown his capabilities each time he has taken the field for Chelsea this term, but continues to be overlooked is Cesc Fabregas. The Spaniard has been top notch each time he has come on from the bench and has had great effect, but with Nemanja Matic and N’Golo Kante going so strong in the middle of the park, Fabregas has hardly been afforded a regular run of match-ups.
And the fact that he doesn’t contribute the same amount on the defensive side of the game is another factor that goes against him as the 3-4-3 system that Conte utilizes at Chelsea demands a lot of hard yards from the two central midfielders. A lack of game time and the unsuitability to the playing style could very well conspire in Fabregas leaving the Stamford Bridge in the near future.
