3) Alberto Moreno – 2.5 tackles per game
The young Spaniard arrived in the summer, and after a slow start, has gradually proved he’s worthy of a place in the starting lineup. Naturally a left-back, Moreno’s been deployed in a left wing-back/left-wing role (depending on which way you look at it) mostly, and while his offensive skills are most noticeable, it’s good to see he isn’t totally neglecting his defensive duties.
