Idrissa Gana Gueye (76->82)
The 27-year-old Senegal international plays as a defensive midfielder for Merseyside club Everton, who snapped him up from Aston Villa in August 2016 on the back of his consistently impressive performances.
Gueye’s seemingly endless energy resources and dynamic running have been integral to Everton and there are signs of a successful partnership building between Gueye and Frenchman Morgan Schneiderlin. The Senegalese has played 20 Premier League games this season making 74 tackles and 45 interceptions in his outings.
EA gave Gueye a six-point rating boost after he recorded the highest number of successful tackles and interceptions per game across the top five leagues in Europe. His N’Golo Kante-esque performances have earned him two-point improvements in all attributes except pace, in which he has earned a four rating point boost.
