Top contenders for the Player of the Year award in the Premier League

#4 Fernandinho (Manchester City)

Probably the most underrated player in the league

The engine room of this unstoppable City machine, Fernandinho is the player that allows all the attacking-minded players to freely express themselves. The Brazilian has been one of the most important signings in City's recent history.

He provides the balance and stability to the unit with his clever ball-retention, positioning, and tough tackling.

Capable of scoring the odd-goal too, he is a leader on the pitch too and a complete midfielder. Take him out of the team and the City defence might be there for the taking.
