The year is coming to an end and it’s time for choosing the best of the best. Each and every player has played to the maximum of his possibilities and is hoping to get on any list that chooses best players for the season. But, it’s not only important to players. Many football fans all over the world are using free betting calculator and are placing their bets for best players of the season. So, we did a little research and put together a list of the best Tottenham Hotspur players for the 2015/16 season. Take a seat and enjoy!
- Harry Kane
Vincent Janssen’s arrival has eased the burden a bit but, in endless ways, Kane is the embodiment of Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham. Last season’s Golden Boot winner is the club’s principle scorer, vice-captain and unofficial spokesman. Criticism of his performances at Euro 2016 will certainly only motivate him.
- Mousa Dembele
With the Belgian starting, Spurs lost just once in 27 Premier League games last season – an opening day defeat at Manchester United when Dembele played on the right wing. Without him, they lost five in nine matches. When he’s free to roam from defensive midfield, he is a vital figure of the team at both ends of the pitch.
- Hugo Lloris
He is a world-class goalkeeper and crucial to Pochettino’s system. The manager demands his team build from the back with short, high-risk passes and it starts with captain Lloris.
- Eric Dier
From back-up to key man, Dier’s move to holding midfield helped make Spurs’ defence one of the best in the league last season. Victor Wanyama will allow him quality test time, but he is an essential part of the team’s defense and, most importantly, a good leader.
- Christian Eriksen
Probably the most underrated member of Pochettino’s best XI, Eriksen’s tireless, intelligent running and quality on the ball help his teammates play even better. Plus, he can be a match-winner himself, which is a quality of best players.
- Toby Alderweireld
Positionally superb and tremendous on the ball, the Belgian was the best centre-back in England last season and – as a past champion in La Liga and the Eredivisie — his experience is important in this young team.
- Erik Lamela
Not everyone’s favorite but Spurs simply play better with the ever-improving Lamela on the team. His intensity sets the tone for the rest of the team’s pressing and he is a man for the big matches.
- Danny Rose
He is recognized as one of the league’s best left-backs, but his role as a leader remains relatively unheralded. He would be higher in this list but has a good understudy in Ben Davies. Plus, Pochettino likes to rotate his fullbacks, so he doesn’t get that much time on the pitch.
- Dele Alli
There is a possibility for the PFA Young Player of the Year to be as high as No. 1, given his performances last season. At 20, he is already a complete midfielder and will only get better by the time.
- Kyle Walker
Like Rose, Walker is an integral part of Pochettino’s team, adding width and pace, but he has a trusted understudy in Kieran Trippier.
- Victor Wanyama
His excellent showings in Australia suggest he already knows what Pochettino wants, which is unsurprising given the manager previously signed him for Southampton. Wanywam played a big part this season and contributed greatly to the team’s success.
- Jan Vertonghen
Of Pochettino’s strongest XI, Vertonghen is probably the first player the manager would drop because Kevin Wimmer is a fine replacement. That’s not to say the Belgian’s partnership with Alderweireld isn’t hugely important.
- Son Heung-Min
The South Korean scored twice in three matches when deputizing for the suspended Alli at the end of last season and, provided he can pick up where he left off after the Olympics, should be even better now he’s adapted to the Premier League. He’s an important impact sub.
- Vincent Janssen
He definitely relieved some of the pressure on Kane – an important job in itself – and his ability to score goals could be the difference between draws and wins.
