Chelsea were already a solid team on FIFA 14, with an excellent defensive unit and a deep midfield that had you feeling spoilt for choice (Schürrle or Hazard on the left?!). In direct contrast to the aforementioned Manchester United, José Mourinho made signings in the positions where the squad was weakest. One of the main criticisms of the Chelsea squad of last season was that they lacked a world-class striker to act as the teams spearhead. The signing of Diego Costa who has taken to life at Stamford Bridge like a duck to water certainly remedied their lack of a quality striker. Similarly, Cesc Fàbregas unrivalled passing has made Barca fans depressed that they let him go. Both these players are devastating on FIFA 15, as we have experienced on the demo. In particular Diego Costas potent combination of strength, speed and finishing makes him incredibly dangerous. Eden Hazard, who started FIFA 14 with an overall 85 rating, has been pushed up to 88 and is now among the games top 10 players. Hazard is considered by most fans to be Chelseas brightest spark and this certainly translates over to FIFA 15. With great dribbling, explosive pace and a highly rated passing game, the young Belgian is the type of player who can single handedly win you the game.
