HOT TAKE: Marc Cucurella is MORE important to Chelsea than Reece James

Tough question. My feeling is that they are both excellent in their roles and bring confidence, athleticism and aggression to the defence. If pushed would have opted for Cucurella purely on fitness and games played but that will now change

If we're talking inverted wingbacks then yes, I think there's a case for saying it. However we concede less when James is playing and Cucu hasn't been out injured for a long period until now. We'll see how many we concede without Cucu

This is a tough one! James is the better player but I think Gusto is a better backup than Hato so maybe Cucurella is more important 🤷‍♂️
