EPL 2016/17: Top 5 Fullbacks

Seamus coleman
Coleman has decent pace, is fairly physical, and possesses a peach of a right foot

#1 Danny Rose

Danny Rose
Rose has grown even further since Spurs shifted to a back three

Danny rose is a hyperactive, technically astute, physical and an extremely quick player. He is forceful and extremely effective and at times when Spurs dominate possession, he can be seen commanding the whole left flank on his own.

He pips Bellerin to the top spot mainly because of his sheer impact. Maybe that has something to with Poch’s more direct style as compared to Wenger’s but the truth of the day is that Rose has proved to be a match-winner far more times than any other fullback in the division.

He has three assists and two goals this term with his goals winning Spurs 4 points (winner against Burnley and equaliser against Liverpool). He has completely taken out mistakes from his game this season and Spurs have lost just once with him in the side this season.

Rose has grown even further since Spurs shifted to a back three. He also shares an excellent partnership with Kyle Walker on the other flank (who also features on this list) and both have proven to be irrepressible this season.

And to add to all that, he is a firm fan favourite, touted to be a future captain at the club, which is not bad for a player who was said to be too error-strewn for EPL just 2 years back!
