#1 Ryan Shawcross - 11

Former Manchester United and England central defender, Ryan Shawcross has plied his trade for Stoke City since 2008. The Englishman is the club's captain and longest serving player in the squad. He has conceded 11 penalties during the course of his career for the club and tops the list for the most number of penalties conceded by a player in the Premier League.
With Stoke languishing, just a point and a place off the bottom three, Shawcross's experience and composure at the back will be vital for the club. With new manager Paul Lambert, the club has to go on a run of unbeaten games to avoid the relegation battle towards the end of the campaign.
With just under half a season to go the 30-year-old central defender will have to organise his back line and secure the club's Premier League status for another season.
