20 Most Important Players In The Premier League 2014/15

15. Romelu Lukaku

After being purchased for the best part of £30 million, the Belgian striker certainly has a lot of faith to repay at Goodison Park. Consistency appears to be the aim of Roberto Martinez, having retained the services of Gareth Barry and Lukaku, whilst ensuring that John Stones and Seamus Coleman are tied down to long-term contracts. If something isn't broken, then there's no need to fix it, after all, with Everton going from strength to strength last campaign. Boasting an outstanding goals to games ratio for his tender age, the powerful former Anderlecht striker is tipped to be the Toffees' main goalscoring source, with Martinez's possession-based philosophy geared towards supplying his star striker. Perhaps being keen to prove to his former employers that they were wrong to let him go this summer, Lukaku could once again be a force to be reckoned with. Quick, extremely powerful and with a keen eye for goal, Everton won't be striding into European football without their Belgian striker firing on all cylinders - especially with Ross Barkley out injured for the start of the season.
