I'd probably have Hazard, Sanchez, Fabregas, Aguero all up there for consideration. Sanchez was incredible early on and Fabregas form in the first part of the season was brilliant.

See I don't actually think Hazard has been that influential. I wouldn't say he's been the best on his team.
I wouldn't say he's the best on our team either but holy shit yes he is influential.

Emphasis should have been on 'that'. No doubting he's played well but on past seasons, I don't think he's performed at quite as high a level.

Don't get me wrong, he's an absolute star.

We're almost at the point now where we're relying on him to dribble into the box and win a corner or score himself. If assists of assists were recorded he'd be up there from laying off a pass after a run through a bunch of defenders.

I'd have him as 2nd best in the team on performances behind Matic. Courtois maybe slightly ahead of him too actually, he's been immense.

Fabregas and Costa were vital in kick starting your season. They may have slowed but I still think they've had a bigger impact on your season to date.
 
Over what, the first 5 or 6 games? Don't really remember him doing much after that. Hazard has done a lot more.
In the league this season:

Costa has 17 goals and 2 assists.

Hazard has 10 goals (some of which are penalties) and 7 assists.

Think you're underestimating Costa.

As others have said, those stats underestimate just how much of a hand Hazard plays in nearly every Chelsea goal.

Costa scored more than half of those 17 goals in the first 6 games from memory.

Really? I would say Hazard is our best player by a mile. He would be top ten in the world. I wouldn't have any other of our players near the top ten.

7 goals in 6 games.

Sure but the point of the game is to score and Costa has excelled at that.

Again, Hazard is a brilliant player. I just think Costa has had a massive impact on getting Chelsea to where they currently are.

Ok so essentially half his goals. [emoji14]

Point of the game is to score, and hazard has had the biggest influence on that. Not sure why you're arguing the point though when Chelsea fans themselves are saying hazard has had the better season.

I'd find it hard to split myself. Different players have stepped up at different times. Ivanovic, Fab, Costa, Hazard and Courtois have all had their moments or patches of brilliance but either Terry or Matic have had the most influence over the team for the longest time for me.

If you could lock one player in though and say he simply cant be sold. It would suck to have to sell Courtois or Costa or Fab. But if you had to you would choose them to be sold before Hazard.

Surely that guy is Hazard.

I'd agree with that and I'm not denying he's our most talented player. He just hasn't been our consistently best/most influential player this season.
