Following on from Wahl's thread, I was wondering who is currently the PL player people most enjoy watching other than those in the team they support. This is not a 'best' debate, just who you enjoy.
I know it's a bit of a tall order on here, but I'd be grateful if people could actually post about players the feel positively about, not ones they enjoy watching because of their cock-ups or because they feel he makes a rival team worse.
I honestly don't watch all that much PL footy, but I really do enjoy watching Harry Kane a lot. I really don't like his face, and I really don't enjoy Spurs doing well under you-know-who, but Kane is a truly world class player in my opinion. He does just about everything you'd normally ask of a striker, and also has many of the qualities of an advanced playmaker. He's also crafty as feck, not a quality I generally enjoy, but one I recognise is another weapon in the armoury of a 21st-century footballer.
Seeing as I mainly watch highlights, I don't get to see that much of the people in the engine room of games, the midfielders, who are generally my favourite footballers. Amongst them, Kevin de Bruyne is the one who I'd most readily sit and watch. His delivery really is a thing of beauty.
So, who do you all enjoy watching? If there's enough interest I'll update the tally here from time to time. 2 votes max, 2 points for top choice, 1 point for second choice. Cheers.

Oh, and as a bonus question - who's your favourite dribbler? I don't know why, but I don't seem to see that many nowadays. Are they a bit of a dying breed in 2020?
Favourite PL player NOT on your team

Or starting. He’s not actually that good.

i thought he was being benched due to not finalising contract negotiations ?

I think it’s because he’s not that good. He’s started more games on the bench for Wolves in the prem than in the first eleven.

Has Traore been struggling for form this season? I haven't watched Wolves at all, but noticed he hasn't been scoring or assisting.

Started the season playing RWB because Wolves sold Doherty and didn't replace him with Semedo till a fair while later. His form dropped and hasn't really picked up again since moving back up to the wing but he's been OK. Always gonna be a feast or famine player.

1) KDB - poetry in motion.
2) Dribbler - probably Adama Traore as gutted we didn't sign him when I reached out to Levy about a young lad playing at the Barca academy before he went to Villa.

I hope the ignorance of people when it comes to kovacic has now been swatted aside. Deffo top 3 dribbler in the league
