Willian, 10, Right wing, Brazil

Willian had been Chelsea’s best player this season. He has led the Chelsea attack all season. He has been the cool head in penalties that Chelsea has needed to convert. His absence would pose a very difficult match for the blues.

Olivier Giroud, 18, Striker, France

If Chelsea had sold Giroud in January, they would not be in the top four, or even in an FA Cup final. At a time when Chelsea has needed goals, Giroud has stepped up and taken responsibility. Chelsea needs to keep Giroud around Stamford Bridge. Giroud has gotten better with age, aging like fine wine. Giroud has already scored against his former club to deny them a European trophy, now he’ll score against them to deny them their favorite trophy.

Christian Pulisic, 22, Left wing, United States

Chelsea’s most talented attacker, and he’s only 21. He has exceeded expectations in his first season and it’s exciting to know what else he can do. His ability to dribble through players has improved, his ability to change direction quickly has been superb, proving difficult for those assigned to mark him. Send your sympathies to those assigned to mark Pulisic.
