1) Laurent Koscielny – Arsenal
The top award should really go to both Koscielny and Mertesacker, as their partnership has been the real star – but we think the Frenchman’s slightly outshone his partner. Koscileny’s made more tackles, more blocks, more interceptions and more clearances than Mertesacker, so naturally deserves top spot. His wonderful composure with the ball at his feet, and ability to carry it into the midfield has also been especially noteworthy.
