A glance at the WhoScored list of top rated Chelsea players shows Moises Caicedo in 5th place. Not long ago, he was miles clear at the top, with his stats backing up what fans were saying – that the midfielder is one of the best in the league.

But the eye test has made it clear his form has fallen off a cliff, and the data backs it up.

Caicedo hits the wall physically

Of course you can’t put that much into these ratings. It’s all subjective interpretation of data, and even that data will never be able to cover the full breadth of what a player contributes.

But in a general sense it gives you an idea of how an individual performs, and it’s been very notable to watch Caicedo drop down from miles clear at the top of this list to just a shade ahead of 6th place.

He has played an insane amount of football in the last two years, and the injuries to Dario Essugo and Romeo Lavia proved to be the final straw.

In other news…

Chelsea are not going to be getting their £100m back for Enzo Fernandez if they sell him, according to one pundit.

Levi Colwill’s return could be coming up in the next few weeks according to speculation from the Sun.
