7 underrated players in the top 7 teams in the Premier League

Moussa Dembele – Tottenham Hotspur

Moussa Dembele

I was a little bit confused when I decided to pick up a player from spurs because of the different formations they have played throughout the season. The game plan was more conservative till AVB got sacked, and now it is the exact opposite under Tim Sherwood.

Even players achieved the plaudits in patches. But, this Belgium born play-maker proved all others wrong and kept working hard for his team to make himself the first choice midfielder.

Dembele not only loves to take on defenders but also prefers to find a defence penetrating pass. He has an eye for long range goals as well. His ability to suddenly accelerate his pace and run pass the defenders has been second to none. Though the money has been spent in millions by Spurs, following stats prove why they have been reliant on former Fulham man.

Jonny Evans – Manchester United

Jonny Evans

The most successful club in England was never expected to suffer through such a torrid time even after the retirement of SAF. As usual, Wayne Rooney proved why he is the best player of England by single-handedly dragging Red Devils over the line. RVP showed the signs of why he was such an injury prone at Arsenal. Michael Carrick continued the good work he started since the turn of 2013. Danny Welbeck added goals and consistency to his hardworking nature.

So it was difficult to point out who would be the most underrated player at United given the inconsistency they have shown. But, I believe Johny Evans has been a big positive for Manchester United keeping in mind that both Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic are approaching towards the end of their Manchester United careers.

Johny Evans has brought consistency and tackling to his game. He is got enough recovery pace as well.He has improved on his man marking skills and aerial ability since the beginning. Following stats prove the maturity, skill, improvements and technique which, the 26 year old has brought into his game.
