Number 1

Oriol Romeu – Previous Rank: 2 (+1)

Well, he will finally miss a match due to yellow card accumulation but that may be the only negative thing he has done all season (but also very expected of him).

Teams have to start game-planning around Romeu and Ward-Prowse in the midfield because they are able to control a match both defensively and offensively. It has become a fantastic duo and flat out fun to watch.

He will be missed against Fulham but it will be interesting to see who replaces him and how the team does when he is not on the pitch.
