LB – Erik Pieters, Stoke City
It has been a surprisingly successful campaign for the Potteries as manager Mark Hughes has shown just why he had such a good reputation at both Blackburn Rovers and Fulham and the fans at the Britannia Stadium have enjoyed a better passing style.
Whilst not many new players were bought in, the best by far was the signing of Netherlands international Pieters – who quite frankly wouldn’t look out of place in a top four side.
