Only 3 players from one team, sheeple!
I've done mine and I'm going to show it you. A few things to let you know, I'm going off the players form in the last 2 seasonsish... not how good they have been before that or how could they might become and I've also limited the number of players from the promoted teams unless they were already established Premier League players. Just to let you know, I've purposefully not including Gary Cahill or Adel Taarabt in my starting eleven as they will probably move clubs in the next transfer window. Let's go!
Name: Shay Given
Club: Aston Villa
Nationality Republic Of Ireland
Tom's accurate valuation £7,500,000
Shay Given is a great goalkeeper who I think could have played for a bigger team than Newcastle. Given signed for Villa from Man City for a reported £3.5 million after losing his place in the starting line up to Joe Hart. Had he been at a club where money is not an option, I feel his pricetag would have been much more inflated for a very established Premier League player.
Name: Ryan Taylor
Club: Newcastle United
Nationality England
Tom's accurate valuation £6,000,000
Ryan Taylor has been a solid right back for the last few seasons and has really helped Newcastle steady themselves since their return to the Premier League, especially given their recent defensive injuries. I found this position the hardest to cover, finding it hard to find a quality right back outside the top 6.
Name: Leighton Baines
Club: Everton
Nationality England
Tom's accurate valuation £25,000,000
No question about this choice, an absolute concrete decision. Baines has been nothing short of superb since his move to Goodison from Wigan and it has earned him several England caps as well as the attention of some of the top clubs. Whether Man City will test cash strapped Everton's resolve remains to be seen.
Name: Brede Hangeland
Club: Fulham
Nationality Norway
Tom's accurate valuation £10,000,000
Hangeland is a solid defender and has been linked to Arsenal for several of the last few seasons and his solid form is the reason for this. It looks now like Hangeland might see out his career with The Cottagers, where he was instrumental in the team that got to the Europa League final in 2010.
Name: Ryan Shawcross
Club: Stoke City
Nationality England
Tom's accurate valuation £12,000,000
Many will dispute Shawcross's inclusion due to the incident with Aaron Ramsey but I don't feel it was anywhere near deliberate. Shawcross has been included in England squads but has never taken to the field but I believe he will be a regular face on the international scene. His form at Stoke has helped turn them into Premier League regulars, not the relegation candidates many tipped them to be.
Name: Matt Jarvis
Club: Wolverhampton Wanderers
Nationality England
Tom's accurate valuation £7,000,000
Jarvis has not quite played with the same impressive form that earned him his first England cap last season but has still impressed this season. Wolves would definitely lacking creatively without him and hope that interest from several Premier League clubs will not try to sway him in January.
Name: Chris Brunt
Club: West Bromwich Albion
Nationality England
Tom's accurate valuation £5,500,000
The Albion captain has been very impressive for The Baggies since their return to the Premier League and has thrown in some captain's performances, scoring vital goals. Since his move from Sheffield Wednesday in 2007, Brunt seems very much at home at The Hawthorns and may look to see out his career with the club.
Name: Joey Barton
Club: Queens Park Rangers
Nationality England
Tom's accurate valuation £7,000,000
Barton moved for to QPR for free in the summer but mainly due to being forced out from Newcastle after publicly criticizing owner Mike Ashley and not a slight on his ability. Barton was also rumoured to be joining Arsenal but his sending off against the Gunners scuppered any deal. His ability and creativity have helped QPR seemingly already achieve Premier League survival this season.
Name: Clint Dempsey
Club: Fulham
Nationality USA
Tom's accurate valuation £12,000,000
I feel Dempsey is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. His attacking form and goalscoring speaks for itself. He was Fulham's top scorer last season and leads the Cottagers scoring charts again this year in a team that boasts attacking talents including Bobby Zamora, Andy Johnson and Moussa Dembele. I'm feel a team like Arsenal or Liverpool would be a great move for him.
Name: Demba Ba
Club: Newcastle United
Nationality Senegal
Tom's accurate valuation £15,000,000
Prolific. This is the only word I can use to describe Ba and his goal to game ratio in the Premier League speaks for itself. I was surprised when he left West Ham he didn't goal to a bigger team and he must have had a relegation release clause in his contract which allowed him to move for £0. He has more than replaced Andy Carroll in my opinion.
Name: Darren Bent
Club: Aston Villa
Nationality England
Tom's accurate valuation £25,000,000
While his recent form has come under criticism, Bent's combined transfer fees have made him the most expensive British player and this is due to his goals. His reasons to leave Sunderland for Villa were to play in a team with players such as Ashley Young and Stuart Downing. Both have now left and it is rumoured Bent is considering his future.
