For me Chelsea have done very well this season. I had predicted them to be finish between 6th-8th. I mean, just look at their defence and GK. Further, their CF's are Abraham (bottom PL/top end Championship striker), Giroud (33 year old limited striker) and Batshuayi (who is god awful. I seriously question if he knows what the offside rule is.)
After that you then need to look at their squad profile. They have virtually no one in the 25-30 year old range, with most of their squad being either side of it.
Personally, I think they're going to just miss out on the CL as I think they will be done in by Leicester via GD. However, a 5th place finish is still decent all things considered and much better than what most people would've thought with their ban and losing Hazard who had essentially carried them by himself since Costa left.
