Danny Drinkwater: Should he have been included?

If Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez deserve to be seen among the Premier League’s best, so does Danny Drinkwater. The industrious midfielder was one of the key players in Leicester City’s title triumph and has continued to be the Mr. Consistent of the club even when the team has failed.

He may not be the awe-inspiring kind, or of the ilk that people pay to watch week in and week out, but he excels at what he does: Work and work, which is a skill in itself.

Now, was there space for him in the top 50? Yes.
