Tackles per game: 3.96
Morgan Schneiderlin’s performances at the base of the Southampton midfield have been so impressive that the Frenchman is arguably the south coast club’s key player.
Unlike many anchor players, who maintain position and suffocate teams with strong positioning, Schneiderlin plays a major role in the team’s pressing, helping the Saints win the ball high up the pitch and immediately get on the attack.
