With the Premier League season ticking to its close, it’s good to look back across the season at those players who have impressed for their various clubs. While established stars such as Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney garner much of the praise, a few under-rated men have been, arguably, just as impressive.
Whether they are chasing the title, stuck in mid-table obscurity, or aiding their club in the battle against the rip-tide of relegation, many unfashionable players have been putting in performances of high quality on a consistent basis. Come ‘award season’ it’s likely that they will get very little in the way of recognition, but just ask fans of their numerous teams, and you will hear glowing references of their contribution across the year.
This XI, plus seven substitutes, are in my opinion some of the finest players to have defied expectation this term, and become star performers in the Premier League:
