The top ten Premier League players from a pretty terrible year are here …

10) Jamie Vardy
Vardy finished last season as the Premier League’s top scorer and this season, he’s only behind Mo Salah by a couple. He’s still as comprehensive as ever for the Foxes, and his power is a big reason why Brendan Rodgers’ team has the best shot conversion rate in the division; Vardy is the second team in the race for the Golden Boot despite 36 players averaging more shots per game. Despite turning 34 in a fortnight, Vardy has failed to start just four Premier League matches in 2020, including Monday’s quick switch to face Palace. Edinson Cavani is one month younger However, the way people speak of Uruguayan suggests that it is unsuitable for anything more than an occasional cameo, putting Vardy’s impressive longevity in even sharper focus.

9) Dominic Calvert-Lewin
This year Everton found the center forward they had been looking for for too long and he was hidden in plain sight the entire time. Calvert-Lewin just needed Carlo Ancelotti to unleash his potential and once Everton turned to the Italian, the center forward was in business. After scoring 16 goals in 96 Premier League appearances before Ancelotti, Calvert-Lewin has scored 19 goals in 35 since Everton named the serial winner a year ago. Within a few days of working with the Toffees, Ancelotti had suspected his potential: “He works hard, very hard, but he has to focus more on not moving too far out into wide positions,” the coach said in January. “It has to be close to the area because it is really dangerous there. He can play for England, without a doubt ”. Which is exactly what Calvert-Lewin accomplished in October, since scoring twice in three international games.

8) Emiliano Martinez
This is a very advanced list, which is often the case even in years when the art of defending has not been so sadly forgotten. But here we are an inclusive group and the plugs require some form of representation. So Martinez sits comfortably among many of the forwards whose 2020 could have been even more productive had it not been for the Aston Villa goalkeeper. Martinez started the year like he did the previous eight, as an Arsenal employee, and while Bernd Leno hasn’t done much wrong, the suspicion among many Gooners remains that the club sold the wrong goalkeeper when Mikel Arteta had to pick in the summer. After years of reserve service, Martinez needed playing time and his stint with the Gunners after the lockout, culminating in an FA Cup winner medal, was evidence that he had more responsibility. Dean Smith, who was in dire need of a goalkeeper with Tom Heaton absent, was willing to offer one and Villa hasn’t looked back. Martínez has played a key role in the Villa’s defense is the most improved unit of 2020.

7) Harry Kane
The Tottenham star managed just 75 minutes in 2020 before Project restart But Kane has spent the second half of the year making up for lost time. He scored seven goals in nine games to close out last season before returning for the new season almost like a new man. Having spent his career thus far as a goal poacher, a classic No. 9, José Mourinho again packed Kane as a supplier, and the England star sank further down to play as a liaison man between Tottenham’s midfield. and the runners who flew past it. In the first 12 games of the season, Kane scored nine and posted another 10, mostly for Son Heung-min. No player has ever reached double digits in assists in such a fast season. It’s no coincidence that in the last three games, when Kane couldn’t create or score a goal, the Spurs couldn’t win.

6) Son Heung-min
Kane cannot be included in this list without Son, such has been their mutual dependence. Their incredible partnership has got people talking about something else that didn’t exist before 2020: goal combinations. The Spurs duo are now four behind Drogpard’s record, which really wasn’t something before Kane and Son emerged as the best double act in Europe. On his own, Son is currently operating with a goal-per-game contribution after finishing last season with 24 in 30 games. And think We thought it would be on Jose’s shit list.

5) Mo Salah
Seems to be something that is brewing around Salah but, as Klopp puts it, the Liverpool star is “in a good time” – he currently has two clearings in the race for the Golden Boot – and his broader numbers make it impossible to omit him from this list, despite others. teammates compete to include. Salah has participated in as many Premier League goals as the no1 here and no one has scored more in the league in 2020. Only Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski and Ciro Immobile in Europe’s top five leagues have hit the net more often this year.

4) Kevin De Bruyne
Liverpool played home in the title race last season, with four of their stars making up two-thirds of the roster for PFA Player of the Year. However, it was De Bruyne who took home the gong, which sits on the mantel next to his Premier League Player of the Season award. His 20 assists last season equaled Thierry Henry’s 17-year record, while 13 goals scored represented his best comeback. His seven assists in 13 games this season put him on track to match last season’s talisman, on a team that has struggled to match the form of his talisman. De Bruyne’s consistency has almost normalized his brilliance. It’s been so good for a couple of seasons now that we hope it continues to be ridiculous. Messi or not Messi – De Bruyne is not upset in any way – City need the Belgian scribble on that contract to be clear.

3) Sadio Mane
Last year’s winner. You could argue that Liverpool’s representatives make up half of this list (four of their players made the 11-man list for the FIFA Best Prize Award) and Mane’s placement as the highest-ranking red here illustrates the year. he has had and how fundamental it is to the Jurgen Klopp machine. “To become a very good player for a world-class player, there is no doubt about that,” Klopp said in the summer as he reflected on the progress of the Senegal star, and although it could reasonably be argued that he reached world-class status before this year. His performances for the defending champions and leaders have cemented that status. That rise has certainly been helped by his seemingly healthy rivalry with Salah, and Mane has emerged as the Reds’ most important player this year. This season, in the six games that Mane has not started, Liverpool have only won two. On Sunday, the striker ended what was by his standards a goal drought, not that Klopp was worried: “One of our best players in the world has not scored for a while, who cares? Difficult to defend, if Sadio has the ball, you need two or three on him ”.

2) Jack Grealish
No player has had a more bumpy 2020. The Aston Villa captain kept his childhood club in the Premier League almost single-handedly after the restart, which came after Grealish was involved in a car accident during the lockout that resulted in a nine-month drive. ban last week. Between that misstep and his day on court, Grealish made a late debut in England amid astonishing form for Villa, who has turned Dean Smith’s team from relegation fodder to six top contenders. That is not entirely due to Grealish. While signing a new contract in the summer, Smith was busy recruiting better players to surround his talisman, which has worked wonders. The likes of Ollie Watkins and Ross Barkley have helped Grealish shine even more, but the 25-year-old has risen another notch to raise him to the level of the best talents in the Premier League.

1) Bruno Fernandes
The Premier League leader of a miserable year.
