CB – Gary Cahill

Originally, I was going to pick John Terry in this position. His experience and leadership would serve any team well. I changed my mind based on his age, his injury, and the fact that Gary Cahill has been doing rather well.

Chelsea’s official website shows that Cahill has made 9 interceptions and 20 total clearances, with the English defender being a strong presence in the Chelsea back-line. He’s been an influential defender for some time now – if you disregard his international performances, that is.
