12. Mikel: Unable to comment as he is currently on AFCON.
13. Moses: Similarly, unable to comment as he is currently on AFCON.
15. Malouda: Perhaps his time is over. Never called, not even on the bench.
17. Hazard: Probably Chelsea's most explosive player, he can break down opposition defenses single-handedly on his day, but not consistent enough. However is still very much a valuable asset to the club and the team.
19. Ferreira: Perhaps Chelsea's most loyal player out of the field. Rarely called upon, even on the bench, but never complaints. He should be second choice RB behind Cesar, and Brana should be converted to CB instead, then hopefully Ferreira may get the chance he deserves once or twice.
21. Marin: Invisible during RDM's tenure, but starting to get games recently. Not yet showing his best, but I still think he is a potentially good player. Must be given more minutes of game when the opportunity comes.
22. Turnbull: As second choice, should have performed better when the chance came, but did not do in recent games when Cech was absent. Then again, you cannot expect too much from a backup goalkeeper.
24. Cahill: Not the best CB, but his hard work and determination is one to be commended. If JT had been in better form, Cahill would have been just a sub in my line-up. Nevertheless a quality player, and still a great asset to the club.
26. Terry: Have been injured, and since then have not been in a good form. Must slowly and patiently work his way back to the team, but currently he should stay as a sub. But we all shall await for the return of our legendary leader.
28. Azpilicueta: Adapting well to the squad and the league, and his qualities offensively have improved and defensively, always reliable. First choice RB in my mind, a wonderful player too.
29. Ba: Shown signs of what he can give to the team, but is not the best of strikers. Nevertheless, he will be an important player in certain conditions, and will be at least a rotation to give Torres the rest he needs.
30. Benayoun: Been out of favor since his move to the club, but should be given the chance once or twice, and he should perform when given. Perhaps will be more integrated under Rafa.
34. Bertrand: Not such a good idea to place him as a winger, unless when playing defensively. Will be a good replacement for Cole when the time comes, but for now must be patient and keep working hard.
40. Hilario: Nearly invisible in the club, as a 3rd choice goalkeeper.
Below is a link of Oscar and Luiz in a charity session playing table football. Very funny. Must watch...
