Top 5 players in each position in the Premier League

[RedReet]

Was Henry as good in terms of created chances as RVP?

From what I remember about Henry he was deadly anywhere on the pitch. Complete forward in terms of goalscoring. RVP though, plays at times like a number 10 with the scoring rate of an out and out forward. He creates nearly as many clear cut chances for others as he does put away, I honestly can't think of another striker like that in the modern game.

02/03: G24 A23
03/04: G30 A9
04/05: G25 A15
05/06: G27 A6
06/07: G10 A5 (in only 16 games)

Most assists RVP has got is 10, then 7, although obviously injuries play a big part.

Stats don't always tell the whole story though, especially with the ineptitude of Wankcott and that guy with the head.

There's was a game a few weeks ago that summed up how RVP has been playing. They won 2-1, he scored both. Think it was norwich? But in that game he created at least three brilliant chances for others, most actually easier then the ones he buried, but they all wasted them.

Arsenal would be nothing without him. He's their van der vaart and number nine that will bag 20 plus all rolled into one.

"that guy with the head"

[RedReet]

I know, which is why I didn't go into detail with RVP's, but Henry in his prime was as good as anyone on this planet and as his assist stats prove, he was more than just your average goal scorer. I just don't think you can compare RVP with him just yet.

Well, it's one massive head.

Lescott has been great this season. Not had many bad games. People associate him with his dross in the first season at MCFC. This season, he has been one of there best players. Honest.

GK -

1. Reina (maybe some bias)

Petr Cech struggles to make it into the top 10 PL keepers these days.
He hasn't been anywhere near the same since his head injury, the only reason for his ridiculous head gear is..............
Well there isn't a reason, it certainly isn't medical or Chelsea wouldn't get insurance for him to be able to play.

Reina, Hart, De Gea, Szczesny, Friedel are all better. Aguably on form Hennessey, Krul and Ruddy as well.

[Alex]

No Lucas there PTP? Id have him in place of Modric on your list. Below Silva and Toure

I'm hoping it's idiotically random otherwise PTP thinks Scott Parker is the best centre midfielder in the PL

I'd have him in place of Parker.
