The Premier League has by no means a shortage of outrageously talented players. While the likes of Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez have all been poached from the Premier League in recent years, some of the world’s leading talent still ply their trade in England’s top league.
While each team may have more than one superb player, they will usually only have one talisman, but which team can boast the best one? With so many incredible players spanning across the 20 teams, we here at CLICKON have tried to answer the question of who has the worst, and best talisman:
Troy Deeney – 20th
A bit of a one-season wonder, just like Ighalo.

Tom Huddlestone – 19th
Any interest in him disappeared after he finally cut his hair. Image Source: Twitter.
Mark Noble – 18th
He would perfectly fit into England's directionless team. Image Source: Twitter.
Alvaro Negredo – 17th
From Manchester City to Middlesbrough, the ideal career path. Image Source: Twitter.
Callum Wilson – 16th
He won't be a Bournemouth player for long. Image Source: Twitter.
Ben Foster – 15th
He's like the English Neuer.

Virgil Van Dijk – 14th

Joe Allen – 13th
"Are you Gerrard in disguise?" Image Source: Twitter.
Kasper Schmeichel – 12th
Hell of a player, forever in Pete's shadow though.

Tom Heaton – 11th
Almost broke his arm from that starfish save, also almost broke into our top ten. Image Source: Twitter.
Wilfried Zaha – 10th
He looks like the type of player Tottenham would love to leave on their bench. Image Source: Twitter.
Jermain Defoe – 9th
Scores for England on his return and likely to get relegated, the perfect season then. Image Source: Twitter.
Philippe Coutinho -8th
Spain's warm right now, isn't it? Image Source: Twitter.
Gylfi Sigurdsson – 7th
He may be the Iceman, but he's melted the hearts of Swansea's fans. Image Source: Twitter.
Alexis Sanchez – 6th
Barcelona let him leave very easily, maybe a little too easily. Image Source: Twitter.
Romelu Lukaku – 5th
The Toffees will be desperate they can make Lukaku stick at Goodison Park. Image Source: Twitter.
Sergio Aguero – 4th
Hard to understand why Pep doesn't like the Premier League's best ever striker. Image Source: Twitter.
Harry Kane – 3rd
He's too good to be English. Image Source: Twitter.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic – 2nd
The king himself. Image Source: Twitter.
Eden Hazard – 1st
Shame the Belgian won't be on this list next season.

None of the above 20 players should be sniffed at, whether they are number one or number 20. On a different month, perhaps the order of this list would be different, with frequent goals for strikers seeing them shoot up this list. However, the top six, while interchangeable in of themselves, wont fall out of the top six as they are the most talented talisman the Premier League has got.
Chelsea’s Eden Hazard runs out as the winner this time, but, if this were done last season, the Belgian international would be a lot further down the list. It is unfortunate as quite a lot of top players have missed out on countdown, with a number of teams boasting more than one talismanic player.
