I could highlight more of Eden's attributes, as I have watched pretty much all of his games for the past 2 years, but DDA has briefly covered some of his main strengths, so I don't really feel the need to go over that again. However, I will add that many will be surprised by Hazard's strength, making it difficult to get the ball off him (if it wasn't already hard enough because of his technical ability and speed!), which has been proven by the stat that he's the most fouled player in Europe - because they have to foul him to stop him. Also, very good fitness level, despite some saying he doesn't put effort into the fitness side of things (which is wrong, he admitted he doesn't like it, but he's put in a lot of effort to be very fit regardless), he appeared in over a 100 consecutive games in Ligue 1! And most of those games he played nearly all the game. As for where Hazard will play, however, I disagree. I don't want to go into the ins and outs of why Hazard should play CAM and not on the wing, with Mata on the wing instead, but to put it simply - Hazard is much more effective in that position. If we play 4-2-3-1, I'm sure Hazard will play CAM, with Mata on the left wing - where he's spent a lot of his career. Which brings me to another point - I'm really not sure why everyone's that bothered whether Mata plays CAM or LW, because there wasn't that much difference in his performances when he switched, more the team's performance, but that wouldn't matter with Hazard CAM. Plus, I know Mata doesn't have a preference to which he plays, or if he does it would seem he prefers LW (or maybe he said that as he knows it's where he'll play next season) because in a video about the US Tour, he said "Juan Mata; left winger". However, whoever plays left or centre, I'm sure in a 4-2-3-1, both Mata and Hazard would switch quite often in the game. But, there is another option, and it is that we don't play 4-2-3-1 (where one of them would have to play on the wing) or 4-3-3 (where they would both have to play on the wing - unless we played a 'false 9' - which I highly doubt), but a 4-3-2-1, where they are both off the shoulder of Torres, as second strikers, or 2 centre attacking mids. But, I suppose that depends on whether we bring somebody in who will occupy the last position of the 3 in a 4-2-3-1, like Hulk or Schürrle, for example. Another is Jovetić, but I'd see him more as Torres backup/rotation or another option for Mata and Hazard's position, not so sure he'd suit RW, so unless he goes left and Mata right, or something like that, I don't see him starting always. Marin will be backup unless he forces his way into the team, in which case we may then switch to a 4-2-3-1.
