Among Lloris' saves in a man of the match performance was this fingertip stop to deny Marko Arnautovic. The only defender in the league with more than 2,000 minutes played who has topped Wan-Bissaka's 65.5 percent success rate on tackle attempts is Virgil Van Dijk. Aubameyang would also have a right to sneak in here given that he finished second in both goals and expected combined goals plus assists, but the Arsenal star scored 16 goals from open play to Aguero's 18, with the latter figure topped only by Sadio Mane. Train derailments attract a lot of attention -- as they should. Salah made his attacking teammates better. Just needs a top manager and coaching staff to harness that potential - unfortunately he’s joined a club that is being very poorly run at the moment. My thoughts are that they are a bit selective. Brooks was a creative force for the Cherries, producing seven goals and five assists in 2,276 minutes. Likewise, Maddison is both a great transfer and a very promising Premier League debutant. Souness said other week that AWB goes to ground often which suggests last ditch tackles when caught out of position . That doesn't help. I mentioned Torreira's exploits earlier in talking about him as a great transfer; the Uruguayan doesn't turn 24 until next February, so he should be part of the squad Unai Emery will try to build in North London for years to come. All five first-round signal-callers are now starters, but their results have been hit-and-miss so far. Among Pereira's two goals, of course, was a wonder strike against Manchester City on Boxing Day. Most observers would still give the nod to Anguissa, who'd really shined for only one season at Marseille before moving to London. He has made a very good start much better then HM of course his forward play needs improving but in a team of young players he is not getting the older players helping hand he needs. 2. Tackle numbers for teams with as much possession as Arsenal can be skewed, but Torreira ranks in the top 20 in ball recoveries and opponent-adjusted tackles among regular starters. It ended up saving two points for the Toffees in a 1-0 victory. The average outfield player in the Premier League this year on a minute-adjusted basis was 26.8 years old, so let's shift the criteria for a different sort of award. Lukasz Fabianski, West Ham vs. Manchester United, Sept. 29. With him in the lineup, Newcastle has gone 12-7-5, averaging 1.71 points per match and allowing one goal per contest. He's also a more thoughtful player in possession than most players of his ilk. He plays much higher up the pitch, so he does leave the bayern back line exposed, but he is pretty good in defense. As I mentioned in another thread, Carragher made the point last night that not one of Man U’s signings in recent years have actually improved as a player. As I mentioned in another thread, Carragher made the point last night that not one of Man U’s signings in recent years have actually improved as a player. Lucas Torreira, Sampdoria to Arsenal, £27m. Signed to play as the defensive midfielder with Seri presumably in an attacking role, it quickly became clear that the two were a subpar fit. I'm not sure. Fabianski over Alisson or Ederson? Given the inflated price of English talent on the market, Maddison could very well fetch twice this price if Leicester decided to sell him this offseason. AWB had 91 successful tackles this season, second-best in the Premier League behind Wilfried Ndidi and 25 more than any other right-back in the league. A national team call-up is surely on the way; a move to one of the top six might follow. No left-back in the league recovered the ball or successfully completed tackles more frequently than the 25-year-old, and the only defender to rack up more assists than Robertson's 11 was his teammate, Alexander-Arnold. It's even more unusual to make a big move after just nine starts at the Championship level, as Brooks did last summer. It’s almost as if all they want to change all the things they bought him for, Location: Spitting distance of Millwall's training ground. Wan-Bissaka's opponents could only get past him in 8 per cent of cases. Ps maybe we’ll get him back for 5m in the summer! Not the best, but enough for a left back. All that Newcastle have come away with is one of the most impactful defenders of the Premier League season. With player of the season awards and transfer fees alike, we've generally come to a conclusion that world-class strikers are more valuable than world-class defenders. Yes, which still is surprising seeing names of players that are on teams that press high and are always with the possession of the ball. The most memorable moment of Kepa's debut season in England came when he refused to be substituted during the League Cup final, which led to the £72m keeper being fined a week's wages. Wilfred Ndidi will take the ball from you. It was always unlikely Salah was going to top 30 goals in consecutive seasons, given that his 32 goals came against a baseline of 25.3 expected goals last campaign. The 26-year-old played just 162 Premier League minutes during the 12-game stretch to start Solskjaer's run, when United took 32 of 36 possible points. I'd hesitate only because it seems difficult to pick the player of the season from a team that finished 26 points off the pace in the league, even if that had absolutely nothing to do with Hazard's play. Converting him to a cb would be my first priority if I had him on my team in FM21. GK Alisson, Liverpool; LB Lucas Digne, Everton; CB Shane Duffy, Brighton; CM Bernardo Silva, Manchester City; CM Christian Eriksen, Tottenham; FW Sadio Mane, Liverpool; ST Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Arsenal. LB: Andrew Robertson, Liverpool 1. David de Gea, Manchester United vs. Tottenham, Jan. 13, I almost have to put a De Gea save from this match in the rankings, given that it was probably the single best individual performance from a goalkeeper all season. Employed as both a traditional right-back and occasionally a right-winger under Claude Puel, Pereira chipped in with six assists while also contributing 117 tackles, the latter of which was second in the league among full-backs. Alexander-Arnold could figure here -- we're living in a truly gilded age for hyphenated English right-backs -- but I'll lean toward the defensive strength of Wan-Bissaka over the attacking edge Alexander-Arnold offers as a crosser.

Chris Hughton's club scored a mere 35 goals this season, the fewest among the 17 Premier League survivors this season. 2. Although Sturridge has been goalless and anonymous since the beginning of October, he helped cover for Mo Salah's slow start to the season by scoring four times across August and September. In the end, with the two relatively equal, I have to resort to positional value. But, in fact, derailments are rare. Kane made my midseason XI and would have likely been this team's striker before his ankle injury. Brighton had to be hoping for more from Jahanbakhsh, who was a nonfactor during his first season in English football. With this superlative, we're looking for saves where a keeper had to react at the last moment, deal with a deflection or use every inch of his frame to stop a sure goal. His ratio of tackle percentage compared to the expected percentage for his position is 13.7/10.7, or 1.23. I know let’s move out our best defender. His current market value is estimated at £28.8m, and while there is no doubt his defensive shifts will have caught the eye of potential bidders, the Englishman’s contract is set to expire in 2024, and the board have the option to extend this agreement for a further year. Glad to see Ismaël. Like Jota, Neves was along for the ride as Wolves won the Championship last season. Probably. Probably. Are there moments where he doesn't track back the way a former player would want? Picking someone like Fabianski might be controversial in one way; adding Pogba is controversial in another. You can pick your favorite, but I prefer his kick save to deny Harry Kane. In my eyes, there are four viable candidates for the award, and if you ordered that top four in any way, I wouldn't fault you. https://www.gofundme.com/supporting-..._co_campmgmt_m, Add Ardent Eagle Forever to Your Ignore List, Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1. Trying to justify not having him anymore with nonsense comparisons is absolute lunacy. A great goal is a great goal, but context helps here: an incredible strike that swung two points and helped decide the title race (hint, hint) means slightly more than the fourth goal against Huddersfield. Eden Hazard, Chelsea vs. West Ham, April 9. Fred, Shakhtar Donetsk to Manchester United, £53.1m. A lot of keepers in the Premier League had some pretty difficult moments this season, huh? 2. Alisson was ahead of Fabianski at 78.2 percent, which led the league, but again, the former Roma star had to deal with only about half of the shot volume Fabianski dealt with over the course of the season. Defensive Player of the Year. Van Dijk turned around the Liverpool defense when he arrived last January, but he had help this season from a starring left-back in Robertson and a wildly expensive keeper in Alisson. The longtime United star had a brutal end to the campaign, but United needed each of his 11 saves to secure a 1-0 win at Wembley against Spurs. The Brazilian played 29 matches this season and in those contests City went 25-2-2 while allowing just 15 goals. Wan-Bissaka's revelation of a campaign is enough to justify pitting him against Trent Alexander-Arnold as England's right-back of the future. Transfer values are the prices listed at Transfermarkt. It wasn't all about finishing, either: Sterling created 64 chances from open play, the third most in the Premier League. David Brooks, Sheffield United to Bournemouth, £10.2m. Alisson also got to play behind an acclaimed defense on a team that had the second-highest possession percentage in the league, whereas Fabianski's side took a league-high five red cards, was middle of the pack in possession and didn't exactly have Van Dijk at center-back.
