Best players in the Premier League: Top 10 centre-backs this season

#4 Conor Coady (England, Wolverhampton Wanderers)

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Brighton & Hove Albion - Premier League

Wolverhampton Wanderers are the only club to have two players in this list. Conor Coady has been rock solid at the back along with Willy Boly, but the Englishman has been the pick of the two on the field.

The 26-year-old has a tendency to play long balls from the deep and is quite good at it too. Coady has 244 accurate long balls to his name this season, which clearly shows how comfortable he is at running the play from deep. He has a composed head on his shoulders and rarely dives into reckless tackles. However, if needed, the Englishman has a decent tackle success rate of 61%.

Coady's passing is also quite good. He has averaged 44 passes per game in the Premier League and likes to attempt through balls to set his teammates up. He has registered 3 successful through balls in the league.

The Englishman provides the composure at the heart of the Wolves defense and compliments the vibrant Boly well. Coady has been one of the best defenders in the league this season and is 4th in our list.
