While the football season is in full flow, it’s easy to think of the short term.
Each game comes around, and more important than anything is getting the best XI on the field- for the next fixture.
It’s only now we’re approaching the finishing line that it’s significant to look the the season’s totals.
In terms of minutes, it’s Azpi who leads the way once again, with the next outfielder a decent distance behind him.
The Spaniard had an “ironman” league season in Conte’s debut year, starting all 38 games.
He’s missed out one one this term, given the hectic schedule, with Europe in play, but he’s still going to finish the season well ahead of anyone when we reach the final reckoning.
N’Golo Kante’s made a strong run at the title, but it will take a bit more than that to dethrone the king.
See the full list below:
- Cesar Azpilicueta – 3150 minutes
- Thibaut Courtois – 3060
- N’Golo Kante – 2818
- Marcos Alonso – 2770
- Eden Hazard – 2320
