Abdoulaye Doucoure
Perhaps not the most obvious choice but Doucoure has been an integral part of Watford’s superb season to date.
The Frenchman provides defensive stability in central-midfield but also had the ability to roam forward and join attacks.
With five goals and six assists in the Premier League so far this campaign, his influence cannot be denied.
Saints fans will also remember the controversial goal that Doucoure scored against Saints in a 2-2 draw at Vicarage Road last season, where he knocked the ball in with the use of his hand.
