10 most influential football players this English season and their respective teams

Futile is the attempt to answer who's the best player in a team or a league. But, as the English season winds up, we're listing the 10 most influential players for their respective teams to achieve their goals to teams battling relegation.
Charlie Austin Club: QPR Position: Forward

Not only has Austin contributed 21 goals to QPR this season (17 goals, four assists) but his goals have been important to QPR's points tally. Only one of their seven wins has come when Austin wasn't playing and in those other six victories he has scored nine of the 14 goals and provided two more.He also scored crucial goals in draws with Manchester City and Aston Villa. QPR have a tough end of season with Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester City still to play--Austin has to be firing on all cylinders for them to have any chance of beating the drop.

Esteban Cambiasso Club: Leicester city Position: Midfielder

His legs aren't quite what they used to be but the veteran midfielder has been Leicester's most consistent performer all season, adding a touch of real class to a workman like side. Has popped with four goals this season as well, second only to Leonardo Ulloa who has not scored in the Premier League in 2015.

Danny Ings Club: Burnley Position: Forward

Burnley continue to frustrate their opponents but they are just not creating enough chances. Ings has been hailed for his performances this season but he has only nine goals all season and none since 11 February. If he can get three or so in the last seven games the Clarets will have a great chance of staying up.

Christian Benteke Club: Aston villa Position: Forward

Weekends don't get much worse when you're down at the bottom, as all of Villa's rivals except Hull won their matches. Villa needed to beat QPR at home, but could only manage a draw against their relegation rivals. After his brilliant hat-trick Benteke now has seven goals in his last four games--Villa will survive on his form alone.



Jake Livermore Club: Hull city Position: Midfielder

At the start of the season Hull were predicted to be comfortably in mid-table, perhaps even push for a European place. They've been dreadful this season but Livermore has been one of their better performers all season. Injuries and suspensions to a raft of midfielders means he will take on a bigger role in the final weeks.

Eden Hazard Club: Chelsea Position: Midfielder

We're not saying that Eden Hazard is the best player in the Premier League, but he is the only irreplaceable member of the Premier League leaders. Chelsea would be a shadow of the team without the Belgian. While Hazard's fellow attacking midfielders (Oscar, Willian, Juan Cuadrado) have combined to score just eight goals and provide 10 assists all season, Hazard has 12 goals and seven assists on his own. With Diego Costa out he is Chelsea's go-to guy.
