Moving down the list, we can see Burnley’s James Tarkowski in 4th. Despite his club’s struggles in the Premier League, Tarkowski has managed to remain consistently in great form with an overall rating of 7.17, placing him into the debate of who should be taken to the World Cup this November.

As we reach the bottom of our list, we see two Man United stars in Paul Pogba, with a score of 6.92 and Jesse Lingard with a score of 6.64, who have both displayed levels of talent but have struggled to remain consistent throughout their club’s poor season.
