Each team in any part of the world has that one player who does his job quietly. They are not spectacular but once missing, what they do cannot be replaced by any other player in the squad.
Here are the most underrated players from each of the traditional top four teams in England.
Arsenal-Bernd Leno
The German shot stopper has been a key member of an Arsenal team that is littered with average footballers. He does not keep many cleansheets which is more to do with the defenders in-front of him but he makes world class saves in each match.
Leno has grown in stature and reputation since his arrival from the Bundesliga two years ago and is one of the most underrated players at Arsenal.
Liverpool-Fabinho
Fabinho rarely gets assists nor goals for Liverpool. What he does so well is win the ball from the opponents and spreads it nicely;y to the more dangerous players in the team.
He sets the platform to how Liverpool play and without him, the Reds lack someone who wins the ball as effectively as he does and as a result struggle to stop attacks, damaging their structure.
Manchester United-Fred
Fred is the perfect press resistant midfielder. He is a very busy midfielder who’s main role is to advance the ball from midfield to the attack.
He rarely misplaces a pass and has the highest number of passes for any player at Manchester United this season. Like Fabinho, he is not spectacular with his distribution but a very vital cog of the Manchester United machine.
