4) Antonio Rudiger (Chelsea) – 77.4%

Rudiger

Despite being 6ft 3, the German international is not widely regarded as a dominant centre-half but he does win his fair share of aerial duels.

After struggling for game time in the first half of the season, he was recalled to the side following the appointment of Thomas Tuchel in January, and it is no coincidence that Chelsea have improved defensively since then.
