Top 5 Chelsea Players Driving Success: Caicedo, Palmer, and Jackson Among Season’s Standouts
Chelsea’s impressive position in the Premier League, currently sitting third, is a result of several key players hitting their stride. Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson continue to lead the team’s scoring efforts, building on last season’s performances.
Newcomer Pedro Neto has also made an instant impact, especially with his standout game against Arsenal before the international break. Wesley Fofana, too, has proven reliable at the back, having started every match he’s been available for under Enzo Maresca.
Moises Caicedo, however, has arguably been Chelsea’s most impactful performer this season.

Caicedo’s consistent excellence has finally earned him recognition as one of the Premier League’s top defensive midfielders, and he’s a mainstay in Chelsea’s lineup.
Enzo Maresca faces a tough decision in midfield, where Romeo Lavia has recently been paired with Caicedo in the Premier League, relegating Enzo Fernandez to a substitute role.
Fernandez showcased his quality with a remarkable display in the Conference League, where he contributed three assists in just 45 minutes against Noah. Maresca’s challenge will be balancing his options in midfield while ensuring Caicedo continues to anchor the squad after the international break.
