Most Possession Wins
No surprises in the Top 2 players here – Liverpool’s Joe Allen and West Brom’s Youssuf Mulumbu are expected to be at the top of this list. Whilst Joe Allen’s performances may have suffered of late he’s continually won possession for Liverpool this season. His importance outlined by the fact that he has started every game for Liverpool so far. Youssuf Mulumbu has been a defensive stallwart at West Brom for the last few years – Mulumbu would fit into a European placed side easily as, in our opinion, he is one of the most under-rated players in the Premier League.
You’d expect defensive midfielders Michael Carrick and Mark Noble to appear in this list but Leon Osman is a surprise? Osman’s not far away from Carrick and this shows his importance to the Everton side – he works hard and is key to their pressing game. Out of the Top 5 it is Leon Osman that wins the ball back the most often in the Final Third (MAP column below), whilst Mulumbu wins the most often in the Defensive third and Joe Allen in the midfield third.
