5. Yann M'Vila - 78
The term 'he spends most of his time on the ground' mainly refers to players diving around without contact. In Yann M'Vila's case it's just that he's an all-action tackler. The Frenchman was a shock loan signing for the Black Cats this summer, and has been Sunderland's star of the season so far. With 76 Pace, 78 Physical, 74 Defending, and a pair of 73s for Passing and Dribbling, M'Vila is an all-round solid midfield addition.
