Ramires: The Brazilian is unlikely to be a starter this season, but will be a useful impact player off the bench – and has done a solid job for the Blues in recent years. (7)
John Obi Mikel: The Nigerian is unlikely to see much game time this season following the arrival of Fabregas, and could be on his way out before the end of the transfer window. (6)
Marco van Ginkel: The exciting young Dutch international will be desperate to get his chance in the Chelsea this team after a year out through injury. (6)
Nemanja Matic: The Serbian has been transformed by his spell with Benfica, and has improved to the club as a vastly improved player. Will get the nod alongside Fabregas next season. (8)
