5 overrated players in the Premier League right now

#3. Kyle Walker (Manchester City)

Kyle Walker

Not many people will expect a player from Premier League's best side (not to mention current defending champions) in this list. But, Kyle Walker definitely has not been able to claim an adequate share of his team's success, since his £50 million move from Tottenham last summer.

A right-back by trade, Walker is still more of a defensive liability, due to his tendency to run down the flanks and engage in the attack. Given how City boasts of having an amazing attack, it is rather unnecessary for him to add to it, and hence instead he often becomes the weak link whenever the club faces a counter attack.

Walker gets out of trouble in most cases, just because of his pace, as he gets back to play a role in defense at just about the right time in most cases. And that is wrongly viewed upon as a remarkable skill to possess and hence, he finds himself rated highly, but that shouldn't be the case as Walker still gets exploited defensively, like in the lost game last December against Crystal Palace, where Walker's error in positioning played a role in Palace's second goal.
