3. Lucas Leiva (Liverpool)
Appearances: 17 (2)
Total tackles: 74
Tackles per game: 3.89
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has found success recently playing Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson in deep midfield, but it is easy to forget just how good Lucas Leiva was in the early months of the season.
The Brazilian has grown into a superb anchor midfielder over the last few seasons at Anfield, and Reds fans may find that he is particularly missed in their team’s matches against the most dangerous teams in the league.
