#4 Gylfi Sigurdsson - Swansea
Playing as the central attacking midfielder in Garry Monk’s system, the Icelandic playmaker has made complete use of his physical abilities in addition to his skills on the ball, to devastate the opposition teams. Standing tall at 186cm, Gylfi Sigurdsson, has assisted 8 times this season.
Compared to last season, Sigurdsson has improved a lot. At Tottenham, he made defense piercing runs and was more of a goal scorer there than a creator and netted the ball five times.
He has paired well with both the strikers of Swansea – Wilfred Bony and Bafetimbi Gomis. With Bony, Sigurdsson plays clever passes. His approach is more direct when it comes to Gomis, which suits the striker’s style of play. With 2.7 key passes and 0.4 long balls per game this season, he has accustomed well to both strikers (now one after Bony’s switch to Manchester City).
Sigurdsson makes 1.2 interceptions and 1.1 tackles every game and helps Swansea in winning the ball around the half line region and launching swift counter attacks. He has proven himself to be a good passer of the ball, and even under pressure, he completes 86% of the attempted passes.
