#1 James Milner
James Milner joined Liverpool on a free transfer in June 2015. The senior pro went on to captain Liverpool in just his third appearance for the club. He was given the responsibility of taking the penalties and has been performing that role in an exceptional manner.
Milner was brilliant for Liverpool during the 2018-19 season and broke the record for most assists in a UEFA Champions League season with 9 assists. In December 2018, Milner became just the 13th player in the Premier League history to reach 500 appearances. The ultimate pro that he is, Milner never once objected to playing at right back/left back for Liverpool whenever there was an injury crisis at the back.
Lately, he has been deployed on the right-hand side of the midfield by Jurgen Klopp. Milner has made 158 appearances for Liverpool and has 20 goals to his name. Milner is a vital part of Jurgen Klopp’s plans who can use Milner’s versatility and experience all over the pitch.
