After the disastrous title defence under Jose Mourinho the previous season, the 2016/17 campaign saw Chelsea crowned champions of England once more under new boss Antonio Conte.
The Italian immediately shook things up at Stamford Bridge, implementing a back three a couple of months into his tenure, with the outstanding Cesar Azpilicueta filling in all along the back line, eventually settling as a right-sided centre-back, and playing all 38 games.
Diego Costa was back to his rampant best with 20 goals while Eden Hazard chipped in with 16 more, and Pedro completing the front three with nine goals and nine assists.
Nemanja Matic, playing in his final season at Stamford Bridge, was a mainstay in midfield alongside new signing N'Golo Kante, making 35 appearances.
Despite playing a less important role -- and not featuring in the top 10 appearance makers that seaosn, Cesc Fabregas provided 17 goal contributions across the campaign.
