Yaya Toure English Premier League’s Most Valuable Player?
Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya Toure must be seen as the English Premier League’s most valuable player and here is why.
The 31-year-old is close to returning to the starting XI after his successful AFCON campaign, and his side will dearly welcome him back.
Toure boosts his side’s winning chances by a huge margin, in fact, Wednesday’s 4-1 over Stoke was Manchester City’s first league win without him.
However, they failed to come out victorious in six previous attempts with Toure missing, which calculates to a winning ratio of just 14 percent.
Meanwhile, the defending champions have won an impressive 78 percent of their games with the African star on the pitch.
Other players which increase the winning ratios of their respective clubs are Manchester United’s Antonio Valencia and Tottenham’s Harry Kane.
While United only won 16 percent of their games without Valencia, the Ecuador international raises the winning ratio to 63 percent.
Tottenham Hotspur failed to win any of their league games without their young sensation Harry Kane this season, while with him they have won 62 percent of their matches.
