Where would a team made up of Chelsea loan players finish in the Premier League?

West Brom, Atletico Madrid, Hamburg, ADO Den Haag, Werder Bremen have all benefited from Belgian, Dutch, Nigerian and Ghanaian internationals being loaned out by Chelsea this season. So how good a team could you make from their home-away-from-home players?

Chelsea currently have plenty of talented individuals out on loan but just how good a team could you conjure from those players currently farmed elsewhere.

GK: Thibaut Courtois

On loan at Atletico Madrid; 26 appearances this season; seven caps for Belgium

DC: Jeffrey Bruma

On loan at Hamburg; 12 appearances this season (injury); four caps for Holland

DC: Kenneth Omeruo

On loan at ADO Den Haag; 21 appearances this season; five caps for Nigeria

DR: Wallace

On loan at Fluminense; 18 appearances this season; two caps for Brazil Under-20

DL: Patrick Van Aanholt

On loan at Vitesse Arnhem; 20 appearances this season; 11 caps for Holland under-21

DMC: Michael Essien

On loan at Real Madrid; 14 appearances this season; 52 caps for Ghana

MC: Kevin De Bruyne

On loan at Werder Bremen; 24 appearances this season; eight caps for Belgium

ML: Gael Kakuta

On loan at Vitesse Arnhem; 12 appearances this season; five caps for France under-21

MR: Josh McEachran

On loan at Middlesbrough; 26 appearances this season; 10 caps for England under-21

ST: Lucas Piazon

On loan at Malaga; yet to play; 15 caps for Brazil under-17

ST: Romelu Lukaku

On loan at West Brom; 27 appearances this season; 18 caps for Belgium

That starting line-up of players currently being loaned out by Chelsea have a combined total of 94 international caps and could easily perform well in the Premier League.

SUBS

You can even put together a substitute bench of young talent currently being farmed out by the club including one of Watford’s key players Nathaniel Chalobah and the younger brother of Eden, Thorgan Hazard; who is embroiled in a title chase with Zulte Waregem in Belgium.

GK: Matej Delac - Inter Zapresic

DF: Tomas Kalas - Vitesse Arnhem

DF: Sam Hutchinson - Nottingham Forest

DF/MF: Nathaniel Chalobah - Watford

MF: Amin Affane - Roda JC

MF: Thorgan Hazard - Zulte Waregem

ST: Patrick Bamford - MK Dons

So where in the Premier League would this team finish? Above the relegation zone?
