Def - Jonny Evans (WBA)

Evans
Jonny Evans vs Arsenal

If Hegazi bought steel to West Brom's Backline, Evans provided the ball playing abilities, a criminally underrated aspect of his play and perfectly complemented the Egyptian in West Brom's backline.

His stock has risen since being sold by United and was steady at back throughout the season with his ability to bring the ball out from the back proving particularly crucial.

He has had a comparatively underwhelming season but that has not stopped big sides such as Arsenal and Manchester City expressing an interest in him having tried to buy him last season

He reportedly has a 3 million relegation release clause in his contract and you can expect to see almost all of the PL clubs to fight for his signature.

Stats

Evans ability to bring the ball out from the back is what sets him apart from his peers and he had an 81% pass completion rate, only bettered by Mawson of Swansea having played 7 matches fewer than him

He won an attempted 62% of his aerial duels showing the other side of his game and did not make a single defensive error, which is remarkable in a team such as WBA where the defenders are always under pressure. The 49 interceptions showing his excellent reading of the game.
