Top 10 Fittest Players From 2014/15

John Terry played every single minute of Chelsea’s league campaign in 2014/15Fitness is one of the most important things in football these days. With such an emphasis on achieving the best level possible it’s no surprise to see players and coaches adopt new training regimes or go to extreme lengths to get one up on their opponents in this department.With some teams playing over 60 games in the span of a season, it becomes all the more important for players to be able to deal with the grueling schedule of football while maintaining the same level of performance in every game.Many players have based their long successful careers on their ability to turn up for the team regularly. Their fitness allowed managers to trust them week in and week out. This consistency has been hard to find for some players while other actively work towards it.But what players have had the best success with their fitness and who has played the most minutes over the last season? 

#10 Marcelo

Madrid never had the season they were expected to have following their Champions League win last year.Nevertheless, finishing 2nd in the league and reaching the semi-finals would still be considered a half decent finish by many teams.

Marcelo though was ever-present through the campaign in that full-back role. Racking up 2925 minutes in the league and 786 in the Champions League. Playing all that while bombing up and down that left-hand side while trying to defend can be difficult but his fitness gives him a great opportunity to do all that.

Let’s be honest, playing with Ronaldo must be great if you’re a striker or fellow forward, but if you’re the full back standing behind him then you must be pretty exposed majority of the time. It’s a difficult job balancing up the attacking play from his full back role with his defensive duties but Marcelo has actually managed to find the right balance.
