8. Cheick Tiote (Newcastle United)
Appearances: 19 (2)
Total tackles: 74
Tackles per game: 3.52
Cheick Tiote has always been a tenacious player, and has been booked on average every four matches for Newcastle United this term.
The Cote d’Ivoire international’s job has become more difficult in the advent of the sale of key midfielder Yohan Cabaye in January.
The Magpies don’t maintain possession as well as they used to, and Tiote is having to work even harder.
