Current Workhorse Top 11

[Lyricist]

In relation to other topics where players are being criticized for their lack of desire or effort, their weak mentalities, or their overall lazyness, who would you guys field as the top 11 of skilled players that always work hard and never look like they can't be arsed?

Looking for the most skilled players that are simultaneously also role models for their efforts for the team.

 

[Professor Percival Egg]

Firmino

 

[altodevil]

Iniesta

 

[ivaldo]

Balotelli.

 

[Jaqen H'ghar]

Valencia - Otamendi - Bailly - Rose
Willian - KDB - Kante - Sanchez
Lukaku - Vardy

Subs: Salah, Mane, Dembele, Herrera, Walker, Rojo

 

[GSevensM]

Eriksen for us. Works his arse off game after game and even now a lot of fans think he is lazy!

 

[ThierryHenry]

Valencia - Otamendi - Bailly - Rose
Willian - KDB - Kante - Sanchez
Lukaku - Vardy

Subs: Salah, Mane, Dembele, Herrera, Walker, Rojo

No way.

 

[Jaqen H'ghar]

Tbf he does run around a lot, presses and always wants the ball, @ThierryHenry

 

[MUFC OK]

Valencia - Otamendi - Bailly - Rose
Willian - KDB - Kante - Sanchez
Lukaku - Vardy

Subs: Salah, Mane, Dembele, Herrera, Walker, Rojo

That's a title winning squad IMO.

Not necessarily the top 11, but players who would certainly fit this bill for me would include Kroos, Modric, Matic, David Silva, Busquets, Kane, Eriksen, Son, Marcelo, Salah, Firmino, Willian, KdB, Sane (certainly this season), Vardy, Lukaku, Kompany, Moussa Dembele, Nainggolan, Suarez... In fairness, almost all of the top players in world football fit this description.

Also, Messi and Ronaldo also go without saying.

Is it even possible to be a workhorse centre back? I mean it's the last position on the pitch (that a goal keeper) where you want them running around the pitch

Bailly certainly gives it a go to be fair to him.

 

[Canagel]

D Silva and KDB have to be up there. The workrate they've shown this season has even caused some to suspect doping might be involved.

 

[pregra]

Suarez should be a certain for this. These days he can barely do anything besides busting his guts and finish one out of every four chances. He never was the most technical of players but he has really fallen off a cliff; even 5 yard lay offs usually goes south. Still works like a madman most games though.

Casemiro

Sanchez gotta be in there. The guy runs around a lot.

Exactly.

 

[herbert]

A team exclusively filled with full backs, perhaps?
It is pretty much their job description.

 

[JSArsenal]

A lot of players I was going to say have already been mentioned.

Ramsey and Wilshere
