37. Steven Gerrard
The 33-year-old may be paying the price for loyalty to Liverpool, but he is still undoubtedly one of the best players in the Premier League, as well as one of the best English players in the world right now.
The talismanic midfielder will now play the role of grandfather to the squad following Jamie Carragher’s retirement and will need to step up to that position quickly as the club are still in the throes of a transitional period, and they will need him more than ever if they lose Luis Suarez.
Still with an eye for a pass, tackle, and a goal, he managed to wrack up 10 goals and assists in the Premier League last term, proving that despite his advancing years he can still be such a massive influence on the culture of the side.
Also still depended on heavily for the English national side, there’s no doubt that he will be on the plane to Brazil next year should he stay injury free, and should the side actually make it there too, of course.
