Many names will be thrown at this point. Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva, Eden Hazard and the likes will be pushed forward by the fans. After all, how dare I name a goalkeeper as the best player in the Premier League?

But let's be frank here, is there any other player that has had a bigger impact on his team's final standings on the Premier League table like David De Gea has had for Manchester United over the last two to three seasons?

Yes, Eden Hazard and the rest of the attacking players wow the world with their flashiness, their goals and/or assists help their respective teams to win games, but they aren't always as effective in every game.

The only attacking player that is on for 95% of the time is Lionel Messi, so let's not even think about the rest.

And this is where De Gea stands out from the rest. His ability to save his team in every single game is what makes him such an important presence in front of goal. Only goodness knows how many points he has saved for the Red Devils.
