The stars that need to feature more for the Blues.
Chelsea made their already strong squad even stronger this summer with a series of impressive signings, only problem is that while half of them are playing regularly the others have been languishing on the bench. There are thee names, though, that need more game time, and here are the reasons why.

Ranking The Six Main Contenders To Win The Champions League
Kurt Zouma
Though the defensive partnership between John Terry and Gary Cahill has been near on air tight this season, the former will be stepping away from the game in the not too distant future, and in Zouma the club have a suitable heir.
However, with two Champions League starts and two Capital One Cup starts under his belt, he won’t be developing into the kind of defender the Blues will need. Furthermore, as the season progresses the back line will need the pressure taking off them, and without the required minutes having a weak link in the mix could prove costly.
Loic Remy
Remy has impressed so far with his two goals coming from a handful of substitute appearance, but the former QPR man has much more to offer.
But Diego Costa is understandably the striker of choice at Stamford Bridge, but when the Spaniard hasn’t been fit the baton has usually been handed to Didier Drogba. A club legend Drogba may be, but he is certainly not the future of the club like Remy is.
Felipe Luis
The Brazilian turned himself into one of the best full-backs in the world last season thanks to his dynamic form with Atletico Madrid. Sadly, though, half of his eight starts this time around have come in the Champions League as Cesar Azpilicueta continues to block his path.
His inclusion in the squad will benefit Chelsea for purely rotational purposes, and playing more will allow Mourinho to move Azpi to right-back and Ivanovic into the middle. The busy Christmas period is coming, so he may well get his chance soon enough.
