According to MSN Sport these are the top ten Premier league players who do not play for the top six this season (I guess they mean City, Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs):

1 Richarlison - Watford
2 Wilfried Zaha
3 Aaron Mooy - Huddersfield
4 Jamie Vardy - Leicester
5 Pascal Gross - Brighton
6 Christopher Schindler - Huddersfield
7 Mikel Merino - Newcastle
8 Abdoulaye Doucoure - Watford
9 Steven Defour - Burnley
10 Mario Lemina - Southampton

It was not clear whether this was a ranked list or merely the top ten in no particular order. It is based on some stats and perceived impact on the team e.g 'The maths is pretty straightforward. In six matches without Wilfried Zaha this season, Crystal Palace did not score a single goal, nor did they win a single point. In seven games with their most influential player, they have scored eight goals and picked up eight points.'

Would you agree with this list or are there others who are equally as worth recognition?

Good shout.

Mahrez is better than Vardy, for me.

Shakiri - definitely. Benteke, possibly.

TBF three of those matches without Wilf were under Frank de S***e and a couple more were straight after he got his jotters, so we had more issues than just no Wilf.

However, without him we are f***ed.
