FIFA 16: Chelsea went into 2015/16 as the Champions of England being steered by Jose Mourinho towards an even brighter future. EA justifiably slapped huge ratings on their players and the club as a whole. For starters, they maintained their 5 star status, while Eden Hazard (89), Cesc Fabregas (87), Diego Costa (86) and John Terry (85) among many others were handed generous boosts. Reality: The Champions League would have been firmly in their sights this season for Chelsea after wrapping up the league last time around. But the dream of focusing on Europe's top prize is on hold as the club desperately flap around for a top half spot in the Premier League. It's astonishing to see how far they've fallen since the last campaign, but it's true, Chelsea are sitting in 15th position with all of their top stars firing blanks, and Jose Mourinho's job set to be under genuine scrutiny.
