Tricky as there are some clubs I'm not sure of so I'll give the ones I'd go with..

Chelsea - Azpilicueta (Honourable mention to Hazard)
Crystal Palace - Zaha
Everton - Baines
City - Aguero (Could be Kompany or Silva depending on your view)
Leicester - Vardy
Spurs - Kane
United - De Gea


Fill the gaps.

For Chelsea it will have to be Hazard with an honourable mention to Azpi.

Not actually sure who would get it at Liverpool. Their current front three, VVD and Suarez stand out above the rest but none of them particularly stand out above the other four.

With Arsenal you'd probably have to say Alexis maybe Ramsey although it's quite slim pickings with them, With United and Spurs i imagine it's very much a one horse race.

Agree with your other choices. Wolves maybe Neves?

It was tricky for me between Hazard and Azpi. Hazard has the most quality which is clear but I feel like the adaptability of Azpi while maintaining the same level is admirable and his consistency was crazily good.

Yeah, none of the great Liverpool players recently have had any semblance of longevity which hampers them. Henderson is a shout in terms of longevity and his rise from Gerrard understudy/being destroyed every week in his early years to becoming captain/CL winner and pivotal to both Pool/England midfields for the consistency he gives.

Neves has only been with us for 2 and a bit seasons.

For Wolves, it's easily Matt Doherty.

Signed for £75k in 2010, a regular in League 1, The Championship and now the Premier League.

Just got his first goal for Ireland too.

For me the title run in during 2015 that swings it for Hazard over Azpi. Every player apart from Eden and Courtois fell apart and those two stood up and saw us over the line almost by themselves.

Fair enough, I was thinking maybe the sheer impact of his arrival (from where you were then to now in such quick time) may have put him in contention despite not being there long.

Liverpool is a really tough one. First part of the decade is between Gerrard and Suarez, but with no significant trophies to show for it.
Second half has a much bigger selection.

I'd actually go for VvD to be honest, even though he arrived much later than Salah et al.

Edit: who's the player of the decade? James Milner maybe?

Mahrez was more influential in their title win which towers over anything else that has happened to them over the last 10 years.
vardy got promoted with them, then was just as instrumental in the title win, and is now leading the line for there 2nd quality team.
I think it’s a no contest.

It's Vardy and it's not particularly close.

Pains me to say it but Van Dijk has to be it for Liverpool. He is the one that has made it all click in to place and is instrumental in how well they are doing. Also very unlikely he will slip and fall on his face at a crucial moment or try eat someone.

Wolves - Doc/Moutinho
Moutinho is definitely the best player we’ve had in the last ten years
Docherty too as he’s been here for almost the whole decade and been excellent

Surely has to be Noble for West Ham? Not as skillful as Payet, but he's done the full term.

For Arsenal I'd actually say Koscielny. I know he left under bad circumstances, but came in straight to the first team and was never displaced. Was one of the best in the league for quite a few seasons after a rocky start.

Suprised that noone has said Carrick from us. He did great in our title wins and played well under LVG too which gave us the FA cup. We really needed him since no other midfielder really dominated for us.

Looking at the players, David Silva stands out for longevity over the decade combined with team success.

Signed in 2010, picked up 4 league titles in 9 years. Fantastic record.
