The skilful Frenchman is the second midfielder on the list. Payet has continued to impress this season despite the failings of West Ham as a club. With two assists and one goal in his last four league games, the stats may not be extremely favourable in Payet’s favour but one should not undermine his quality.

His skillset is such that he would be an asset to any team. With some crazy set piece skills, Payet is always a threat from free kicks.

The player should make the most out of West Ham’s fixture against Hull City, who have been quite easily one of the most defensively weak team. West Ham will hope that their best player shines so as to get the crucial 3 points, as the London-based club sit a lowly 15th on the points table.

Next 3 fixtures: Hull City(H), Swansea City (A), Leicester City (A)
