José Mourinho's first Chelsea team set defensive records that still stand: 95 points — a Premier League record at the time — and just 15 goals conceded across the entire 38-game season. Petr Čech kept 24 clean sheets behind the centre-back pairing of John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho, with Claude Makélélé redefining the holding midfield role so completely it was named after him.
This was far from a purely defensive side, though. Frank Lampard, rated 90, scored 13 league goals from midfield, while Arjen Robben and Damien Duff supplied pace and width, and Didier Drogba's power gave the attack its focal point in his debut season. In 38-0, Chelsea 04/05 is the squad you want when you need a defender or goalkeeper — the meanest back line in the entire 44-squad pool.
