11 Best Players In The Premier League's Top 6 Teams

6. Vincent Kompany

It is very easy to ignore defenders when it comes to compiling lists such as this- Pablo Zabaleta and John Terry can think themselves unlucky not to have made the cut- but Kompany is a true colossus, and one of the most influential players in the Premier League. The 28-year-old City captain is an absolutely outstanding centre-back, and his leadership qualities, consistency and dominance put him up there among the top two or three in the world in his position. Since moving to the Etihad in 2008 he simply got better and better, and he has lifted the Premier League trophy twice. It seems likely there will be more to come. When he is injured, which can sometimes be a little too often, City are a completely different side. They look vulnerable at the back and very beatable. He holds the team together, and to top it off he is also a superb ambassador for the game. If he continues like he is, he will go on to become one of the greatest defenders in Premier League history.
