Given the fast start for Chelsea FC this season, it’s not surprising to find that three Chelsea FC players rank at the very top of the findings in the EA Sports Player Performance Index, as published in Sportsmail.
Costa was the signing of the summer in the Premier League. The superstar, and league leader in scoring is a big part of what the Blues are fulfilling preseason expectations and sitting atop the table right now. Costa is getting it done for club and tonight he did it for country, scoring his first goal since he switched affiliation from Brazil to Espana.
From the Daily Mail:
“Top goalscorer Diego Costa, who has netted nine times already since his summer arrival from Atletico Madrid, tops the charts followed by team-mates Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas who has assisted his Spain colleague four times”
Raheem Sterling of Liverpool was fourth. No Manchester United players cracked the top ten, but here’s more on their top rated here.
