Trending
With his relentless and tremendously high work-rate, N'Golo Kante has been an engine in midfield. He has been a massive player for Chelsea. Despite being sidelined by injuries, the French midfielder won the seventh-most number of tackles (57) in the Premier League last season.
His partnership alongside Jorginho has been very fruitful for Chelsea as it has allowed their attackers to go full throttle. The 2021-22 season has shown how the Blues struggle without Kante, only proving how vital he is for them.
#6 Fabinho (Liverpool)
From one defensive midfielder to another. Fabinho has been immense for Liverpool when given the opportunity. His ability to play both as a defensive player and as a centre-back has come in handy for Jurgen Klopp.
Last season, the Brazilian was quite effective playing as a central defender as his timely tackles and exceptional reading of the game brought stability at the back. With more game-time, Fabinho will surely come further into the limelight and get the appreciation he deserves.
#5 Ilkay Gundogan (Manchester City)
Many feared that Ilkay Gundogan would not be the same player he once was with the injuries he suffered at Borussia Dortmund. After initially struggling at Manchester City, the German midfielder came to life in 2021.
Ilkay Gundogan scored 13 goals and recorded 2 assists in just 28 matches in the Premier League last season. His smart runs into the box have helped him convert half chances into goals. Even in the current season, the 31-year old has scored four times and registered three assists. Gundogan's experience and technical skills will be of great help to Manchester City this season.
#4 Mason Mount (Chelsea)
The Premier League has some really talented youngsters and Mason Mount is one of them. The young Englishman has flourished well under the management of Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea.
Mason Mount scored six goals and recorded five assists last season and has continued with his great form in the 2021-22 campaign. With only 13 Premier League starts under his belt, the English midfielder has already scored seven times and registered five assists.
His attacking instincts and clever play have been beneficial for Chelsea. Having been involved in 12 goals this season, Mason Mount ranks as the third best player when it comes to contributing goals and assists in the Premier League this season.
