Chelsea’s three best players this season according to the stats

We’re far enough in to this season to now be able to take statistics pretty seriously, and a quick glance at the top rated players for Chelsea from all competitions on WhoScored reveals some interesting results.

Mason Mount is number one – is anyone surprised? He’s got a rating of 7.35 in the Premier League over 23 games, picking up 4 goals and 3 assists.

Next? Kurt Zouma. He’s got a 7.21 rating, but has lost his place in the team under Thomas Tuchel. His impressive numbers show how harsh that decision was.

In third we have the man who has benefitted from that call – Antonio Rudiger. He’s got a rating of 7 from his 11 appearances.

After that? Reece James, Thiago Silva, Azpi, Chilwell, Kante, Kovacic, Jorginho, Alonso, Tomori (!). A long list of defenders and midfielders.

Our best rated attacker for the season? Timo Werner on 6.82.

That tells you everything you need to know about the balance of this team this season so far.
