CM – Gareth Barry, Everton – 33
As little as 12 months ago Barry may not have made it into this starting XI, as he had become a bit-part player at Manchester City and looked past his best.
Yet Roberto Martinez decided to take the midfielder on-loan at Goodison Park on transfer deadline day last summer and since then the Englishman has been revolutionary.
Barry has dominated play in the middle of the park all season and the veteran’s performances have led many to say he should be in Roy Hodgson’s squad for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
