Full-Backs
Trending
The role of a full-back has been altered over the years and in the Premier League. He is judged not just by his defensive standards but also what he can offer in attack. It's no wonder then that Hector Bellerin and Danny Rose made the cut last year.
Sadly, neither of them have impressed this season. Rose did to a certain extent before his injury while Bellerin’s injuries have clearly seen him play despite not being fully fit.
But Spurs are represented by Kyle Walker – the third Spurs player to make the cut. Antonio Valencia was a good shout but Walker has performed consistently and is a better player going forward. He has also got five assists to his name this season. The Englishman has run his heart out in a number of games and has also created 37 chances so far.
On the left is a debatable pick but Marcos Alonso has been sensational for Chelsea. Although he plays as a wing-back, it would be hard to ignore his contributions on the left flank. He has five goals and two assists – his free-kicks being a huge bonus.
Another tireless player who works the flank, Alonso is a neat tackler of the ball and has ably supported the likes of Eden Hazard ahead of him in the Blues’ attack.
Honourable mentions: Antonio Valencia (Manchester United) and James Milner (Liverpool)
