1) John Terry
Terry really is having one of his best ever seasons in a Chelsea shirt.
His side have only conceded 22 goals in the top flight, six less than Arsenal who have the next best defensive record. The Blues largely have the exceptional form of Terry to thank. He’s made regular last-ditch tackles, been very good in the air, and has marshaled the best defence in the country superbly.
If he can put in similarly heroic performances in the Champions League, Chelsea could definitely go all the way, especially with the tactical genius of Mourinho instructing them. In the Premier League, Chelsea are making a habit of not conceding goals, and winning matches in unspectacular fashion. Terry will be put in charge of making sure this continues.
