2 – Toni Rudiger
3 – Marcos Alonso
4 – Cesc Fabregas
5 – Jorginho
6 – Danny Drinkwater
7 – N’Golo Kante
8 – Ross Barkley
10 – Eden Hazard
11 – Pedro
12 – Ruben Loftus-Cheek
13 – Willy Caballero
14 – Tiemoue Bakayoko
15 – Victor Moses
17 – Mateo Kovacic
18 – Olivier Giroud
21 – Davide Zappacosta
22 – Willian
24 – Gary Cahill
27 – Andreas Christensen
28 – Cesar Azpilicueta
29 – Alvaro Morata

31 – Rob Green
33 – Emerson

Under-21 players

19 – Tammy Abraham
20 – Callum Hudson-Odoi
44 – Ethan Ampadu
59 – Marcin Bulka

Ampadu is clearly a Lewis Hamilton fan.

If it was my team in football manager I would swap a bit, Kovacic would be 18, Giroud 20, Hudson-Odoi 17 (new early game Hazard)

No number 9? Thought Morata had that number last year or should i finally get to bed?

His wife had twins on the 29th of July. He changed his jersey to 29 to honor that day.

Haha, yeah if I play as Chelsea in PES I tend to stick with the squad numbers for a season and then start promoting the younger players to lower numbers that are available.

Wolves have given their new keeper Rui Patricio the #11. Glad we've been a bit more conventional with Kepa and Willy.

Wasn't Boulahrouz #9 for us?  Think that's the most unconventional one we've had in a long time.

I know it’s stupid but Tibo having #13 instead of taking #1 after he forced Cech out the door really pissed me off. 

Also Tammy has my old number so he’ll be sh*t 

Who was the last player to wear the number 16 for Chelsea?

Feels like that number is always available, no ones worn it much since Robben had it.

Kennedy use to be #16 I believe.

Meireles? I think.

Yeah, Kenedy would have been my guess as well.

Also Sidwell with #9 in that era, bit unconventional for a midfielder.

I didn't mind that, at least it's a traditional keeper number. In Spain first team keepers can't be registered with any numbers other than 1, 13 or 25.

For me those are just about the only acceptable GK numbers, along with 21/23 if it's international football. Also anything in the 30s is fine for a backup keeper.

Kenedy and MVG before that. Mereilles was the last 'proper' starter to wear it. 

Robben was the first player to wear it since Robbie Di Matteo, and Robbie wore it longer than any other player has for us.

That is f**king disgraceful - I had assumed that the #12 shirt had been retired. 

Sarri out

Should have been given 25 or 26 before 12! Disgraceful.
