EA Sports snub all Chelsea stars for FIFA Team of the Season after Abramovich sanctions
dailystar.co.ukChelsea's star-studded side have been brutally snubbed by EA Sports with not one player nominated for the Premier League Team of the Season.It may not have been the season that Chelsea were hoping for, but they're still deservedly in third spot, and have made both domestic cup finals.
