    Many Chelsea fans may say Pedro and Victor Moses, but I would have to say David Luiz.

    He has been rock solid (bar one howler v United in the cup) ... although I suspect the errors may return under the glare of Champions League football next season <doh>.

    Which Prem player's quality have you most been most surprised by this season?

    Luiz is up for me, I raised an eyebrow when Conte bought him back in, but he works really well with our system and has matured.

    Have to say Zlatan as well, at his age, didn't think he would be banging in this many goals for United.

    Sadio mane to a degree too, the guy has been immense. Carrying the scousers at times.

    I actually thought Zlatan would score a few more tbh, especially as Jose has built team around him... at time anyway

    I'll go with that, by far the best CB in the premiership.

    Way too much traffic on here for it to be the new Chelsea board!

    Echo the views above re Luiz and Pogba. Who'd have thought Luiz would have turned out to be the better signing out of those 2!

    Although I shouldn't be surprised , Hazard kinda surprised me into knowing last season was a one off for him . Back to being one of the best players in the World in my books .

    No real surprises for me. Possibly how well Zlatan has done.

    Luiz certainly appears more mature than his first stint, but that wouldn't have been too difficult. Plus he now has Kante in front covering him. I seem to remember that Kante made two pretty average CBs look good last season.

    Kante really is a true " linkman " , good for defence and good for attack .

    Wouldn't go that far. I'd have it between Virgil Van Dyke and Toby Alderweirald, personally.

    Victor Wanyama has surprised me the most though. Thought he'd have at least two red cards by now.
