5 overrated players in the Premier League right now

Some players attract more praise than what they deserve

#4. Ruben Neves (Wolverhampton)-

The Wolverhampton Wanderers had a terrific season in the 2017-'18 Championships, where they eventually finished first in the race to the title and thereby won a promotion to challenge for Britain's top footballing price.

A lot of plaudits went to the midfielder from Portugal, Mr. Neves for supposedly hauling his team all the way across the safer side of the finish line. But, here we simply fail to see how it was the work of one man alone. Coming into the PL too, the Wolves have an abundance of talent in the likes of longtime Portuguese No.1 shot-stopper Rui Patricio, midfielders Joao Moutinho, Morgan Gibbs-White, Raul Jimenez, Leander Dendoncker, and so on.

Neves for his own part, has never featured (previously) in any top-flight competition other than that of his own country, and his performances in the season so far has proved more than enough that the Premier League as well, is more of an uncharted territory for him, at least for a while in the reckoning.

The Wolves' currently stand just outside the top-6 in PL charts, but most of their work this season has been done by the likes of Conor Cody, Willy Boly, Diogo Jota and so on. Sure, Neves does play a part sometimes, but not as much as he should be, considering how highly rated he is.
