3. James Maddison – Tottenham Hotspur | 117 points | £7.4m

Nonetheless, the statistics speak for themselves, with 9 goals and 5 assists in the league. This weekend, Spurs are set to face a Fulham team that was dismantled last week by Wolves.

In the recent matches, their play has significantly improved. This enhancement has been driven by captain Bruno Fernandes, who has been remarkable. Even though he currently boasts 7 goals and 7 assists in the league, these statistics do not fully reflect the phenomenal form he has displayed. With a struggling Leicester City, set to face United this week, the Portuguese international is vital. Bruno has exhibited real captain’s leadership for them.
