The 26-year-old has a very wise head on his shoulders. Connor Coady is a picture of calm in the heart of the Wolves defense and has been one of the reasons for their form this season. He has received six cards from 37 games this season, but is a player who is quite disciplined on the field.

The Englishman's strongest abilities are his passing range. He is extremely comfortable on the ball and has a tendency to initiate attacks from the deep with his accurate long balls. He also likes to shoot from distance. One of his biggest strengths while defending is his ability to stay grounded. The English defender rarely goes all out in challenges and prefers to use his skills to win the ball back without giving away a foul.

In the Premier League, Coady has an average of just 0.2 fouls per game in his 30 appearances and as such, is the third most disciplined defender in the world right now.
