The Squad Goalkeepers  Peter Cech Rating: 88 Squad Number: 1 Age/Born: 26; May 20,1982 Nationality: Czech. Republic (Starting GK) Previous Clubs: Rennes, Sparta Prague Short Bio: Since moving to Chelsea from Rennes for 7 million euros in July 2004 Cech has earned a reputation of one of the best goalkeepers in the world. He set a premiership record in the 04/05 season not conceding a goal for 871 minutes his personal record being 928 minutes with Sparta Prague. Cech definetley have the most time in net for Chelsea this season.  Carlo Cudicini Rating: 75 Sqaud Number: 23 Age/Born:35; September 9, 1973 Nationality:Italy Previous Clubs: Castel di Sangro Short Bio: After moving to Chelsea from Italian Serie C side Castel di Sangro he made such a tremendous impact on the reserve matches that people started to tip him the hat as Chelsea's first choice instead of Ed de Goey. He was Chelsea's Player of the Year in 2002. Some people now question his ambition considering he could probably be number 1 choice for most teams, including plenty premier league teams. This season expect Cudicini to be the bench warmer but most likely get action in some of the lower rounds of cups and probably some premier league games.  Henrique Hilario Rating: 72 Sqaud Number: 40 Age/Born: 33; October 21, 1975 Nationality: Portugal Previous Clubs: Nacional Madiera Short Bio: Brought to the Blues from Portuguese side Nacional Madiera while Jose Mourinho was boss in July 2006 because Mourinho knew him and liked him from previous experience while coaching him in the Portuguese league. Will most likely find it hard to get playing although Scolari sees him as a hardworking figure, so don't be surprised if he gets some lower round cup games as well and possibly premier league matches.  Rhys Taylor Rating:67 Sqaud Number: 30 Age/Born: 18; April 7 1990 Nationality: Wales Previous Clubs: (none) Short Bio: After becoming first choice for the reserves last season Taylor was picked for first team but never made it off the bench and Scolari looks to let him get some experience seeing that he is only 18. Taylor has also been capped by the Wales U-21s when he was 17. Last edited by 14Atlas; 22-11-2008 at 04:39 AM.. |

Since arriving at Chelsea in 2004 Carvalho has been considered one of the best defenders in the premiership. Brought to Chelsea by Mourinho in 2004 for 19.85 million euros. Carvalho was named in UEFAs All Star Squad in the 2004 Euro 2004 tournament, not making national debut until Ocotber 2003. http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2007/04_03/coleGETTY_468x671.jpg Ashley Cole Rating:83 Sqaud Number:3 Age/Born:27; December 20, 1980 Nationality: England Previous Clubs:Arsenal, Crystal Palace (loan), Short Bio: Working his way up through the ranks at Arsenal he made he professional debut at Crystal Palace while on loan. A tabloid lifestyle "will he, won't he" during much of 2005 and 2006 alienated fans at Arsenal which helped Arsene Wenger in a way of completing the deal Gallas and 5 million euros for Cole. His stay at the Bridge has not hit its heights as he did as Highbury through injury, loss of form, and tabloid scandals. http://d.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/ng/sp/empics/20080817/19/1630161037-soccer-barclays-premier-league-chelsea-v-portsmouth-stamford-bridge.jpg Jose Bosingwa Rating:82 Sqaud Number: 17 Age/Born:26; August 24, 1982 Nationality:Portugal Previous Clubs:Porto,Boavista,Freamunde Short Bio: Born in the D.R of Congo his moved with his parents at a very young age to Portugal.

Following Jose Mourinho to Chelsea during the summer of 2004 for 13.3 million euros he never settled into his position, and he has failed to win a regular place but has been featured across Chelsea's backline. http://v4admin.sportnetwork.net/upload/379/EMP-5418339.jpg Alex Rating:87 Sqaud Number:33 Age/Born:26; June 17, 1982 Nationality:Brazil (National team member) Previous Clubs:PSV Eindhoven 3 year loan), Santos Short Bio: With difficulties of gaining a work permit Alex was loaned out to PSV Eindhoven orignally by Santos so he starred as the best defender in the Eredivisive winning 3 straight titles and getting to the semi-finals of the Champion's League while also scoring a goal in that tournament that knocked out Arsenal. That period of time gave him time enough to play for his country and be a resident in the EU so Chelsea could sign him and pay their 1 euro buy-out clause. http://eur.news1.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/ng/sp/empics/4650081 Wayne Bridge Rating:77 Sqaud Number:18 Age/Born:28; August 5, 1980 Nationality:England Previous Clubs:Southampton, Fulham (loan) Short Bio:After going through the ranks of hometown club Southampton Bridge made a move to Chelsea for 7 million euros and from there established himself as a top premiership defender.

Ballack made a free transfer to the club after his contract ended at Munich as since he hasn't been the player he was at Munich. Before he played his first game at Chelsea I personally expected him Lampard and Essien to be the best midfield in the world and unstoppable but Ballack hasn't performer also coming with a few injuries. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/07/29/article-1039652-021BBA0400000578-993_468x443.jpg Florent Malouda Rating:84 Sqaud Number:15 Age/Born: 28; June 13, 1980 Nationality: France Previous Clubs: Lyon, Guingamp, Short Bio: The Frenchman was Mourinho's last signing and never really got to play under him after Moruinho quit in September 2007 being brought to Chelsea from Lyon for 13.5 million euros.

Forwards  Nicolas Anelka Rating:84 Sqaud Number:39 Age/Born: 29; March 14, 1979 Nationality:France Previous Clubs: Arsenal, Real Madrid, Bolton, PSG, Liverpool (loan), Manchester City, Fenerbache, Bolton Short Bio: First thing to be said is that Anelka is a highly skillful striker but it none as "the Incredible Sulk". After helping somemany teams to successful campaigns the next year he doesn't seem to fit in. He did wonderful at Arsenal but then was sold for 23 million euros to Real Madrid where he never really fit in with them so he moved on again.  Didier Drogba Rating:88 Sqaud Number:11 Age/Born:30; March 11, 1978 Nationality: Ivory Coast Previous Clubs: Guingamp, Marseille Short Bio: A super player and arguably the best striker in the Premiership Drogba has also been criticised for his threatrical diving.

He is a player with very high expectations for the future.  Franco di Santo Rating:72 Sqaud Number:9 Age/Born: 19; April 7, 1989 Nationality:Argentina Previous Clubs: Audux Italiano La Florida (Chile team) Short Bio: This month (November) Santo has been shortlisted for the Golden Boy award and best U-21 players. Previous winner of the best U-21s include Rooney, Aguero, Messi, and Fabregas. Santo was tracked by Manchester United and Real Mardrid before signing with Chelsea. He has a promising future at the club hopefully after scoring 7 goals in 8 appearances for the reserves after signing with the Blues in January 2008 for 3.4 million euros.  Karim Benzema Rating:86 Sqaud Number: 99 Age/Born: 20; December 17, 1987 Nationality: France Previous Clubs: Lyon Short Bio: A product if you will of Lyon's youth academy a terrific player already for club and country.

ok I did get a better pic of ashley cole. I found out about a week ago that since I play on CG I won't have Taylor, Mancienne, F. Ferrieira, Alcides, and Tejera I will create Taylor and Manciennce (fairly, not like super elite bloomer-overall skyrockets).
