Value: £35.2million Topping the Premier League charts in terms of total passes, key passes and assists, Cesc Fabregas looks to be the best £27million Chelsea and Roman Abramovich have spent in years. The Spaniard has arguably been Jose Mourinho's best player in what is shaping up to be a season of shattered records for the Blues, including his astonishing return of 10 assists in 13 appearances to date this season. Talk about hitting the ground running. Fabregas is dictating just about every productive move through the centre of the park for Chelsea, much like he did during his days at Arsenal; what a gut-wrenching sight it must be for the Gunners faithful. Comfortably one of the first names on Jose Mourinho's team sheet, Fabregas deserves many of the plaudits for the Blues' sensational start to the campaign. To think this remarkable player could barely crack Vicente Del Bosque's 2014 World Cup side or the Barcelona first eleven last season is a testament to the unrivalled talent of the current crop of Spanish players.
