Ciaran Clark's inclusion might leave some people lost for words, but his stats justify his claim as one of the top 10 dangerous players in the Premier League right now. Even though he operates as a centre-back, the 29-year-old is a force to be reckoned from corners and set-pieces.

Clark has notched 3 goals in 11 appearances for the Tyneside club. He has an xG value of 0.47 and exceeds it by 2.53 points. His xG stats make him the most dangerous defender in the English Premier League at the moment.

Apart from the important role he plays in the heart of the defence, he is also a fine crosser of the ball and likes to play long balls. Ciaran Clark has also been a menacing presence in the air both during defence and on attacks.
