PL Top 5 Underrated Players

Mousa Dembele

Should be nailed on for Team of the Year but won't get a look in unfortunately. Unbelievable ability to escape pressure, excellent ball retention skills and dribbling, as well as being a powerful player who can contribute defensively. Should be recognised as one of the best midfielders in the country

Virgil van Dijk

The jury is still out on the Southampton CB but he looks a unit, really strong in the air, and Southampton have a decent defensive record this season

Christian Fuchs

One that goes under the radar at Leicester but he's got good passing ability unlike any of their other defenders and they rely on him in that respect at times. I remember his assist for Vardy's goal against Utd to break the consecutive goals record was impressive

Cheikhou Kouyate

Noble gets the plaudits but I think this guy is better. Powerful CM who is good defensively and has an eye for goal

Roberto Firmino

Considering his price tag his ability should be expected but he was labelled a flop at the start of the season. 8 goals and 7 assists in 19 starts is very impressive and he's clearly a talented player

Any suggestions? Don't wanna hear players like Kante being described as 'underrated' despite receiving praise all season

Bro, ain't no need for that. Don't be a jerk.

I really like Firmino . With players such and him and Coutinho, along with Sturridge, Liverpool have a great attacking base to go in to next season with. I dint think it will take much squad tinkering myself either.

No player has been involved in as many PL goals as him in 2016 I believe

McCarthy, Dembele, Souare, Kouyate

Used to think Rodwell was very underrated but think he's actually just average now. But still when he's good he's a very solid midfielder. Mane I felt has an underrated season last season but hasn't been as good this term. Ki is also quite underrated

Janmaat isn't very good any more edin

Is he the third best right back at the Toon?

Ryan Shawcross (please see Stoke form whilst he was injured).

Whilst in Stoke - Glenn Whelan is nothing flashy but he's such a good player with keeping the game moving, breaking up play etc... Obvs not top 4 quality but I rate him.

Matt Ritchie - the Bournemouth baller.

Nathan Ake...don't watch Watford often so not committing to him but the times I've seen them, he always stands out for me.

Always been a big Ki Sung-yueng fan.
