Top 10 Premier League players of 2014

The Premier League is without a doubt the most entertaining league in the world. As difficult as the race for the top four is, the unpredictability is what makes is so very challenging and tough for the teams. Many players stood out for their teams due to their performances throughout the year and almost single-handedly led their teams to good seasons. This article also focuses on the best players in England during the calendar year 2014. With the season now at the halfway point, let us take a look at the top 10 Premier League players of the year 2014.  

#10 Mile Jedinak

At the start of the 2013-14 Barclays Premier League season, a lot of pundits had given Crystal Palace very minimal chances of retaining their top-flight status. Palace finished a comfortable and respectable 11th in the league courtesy some inspired management from Tony Pulis, who enabled them to retain their spot in the Premier League for the first time in their recent history.

Arguably, the most stirring factor in their fantastic surge was a rock in their mid-field who went by the name of Mile Jedinak. The Aussie has been immense for Palace and has off late also managed to add goals to his repertoire courtesy his towering headers and dead ball skills. He averages around 4 tackles per match in the Premier League and intercepts the same number of balls per match too.

Add to that his 5 goals and a couple of assists and it is quite a contribution to a mid-table Premier League side. It is his stellar performances from defensive midfield in 2014 that earns him a spot at number ten on this list.
