Tom Carroll

Actual Rating: 72

Carroll is another Tottenham midfielder who’s signed a new contract in the last two weeks. Unlike most of his peers, I believe Spurs inked him to a new deal to make sure they could maximize his value in a future transfer.

The slight midfielder is a cult hero to some around White Hart Lane, but I don’t get all the fuss. He lacks the physicality to play in the midfield, and he isn’t quick enough to thrive as an attacker. There are Premier League clubs that can use a player like Tom Carroll, but Tottenham aren’t one of them.

As such, I think he’s overrated. 72 is a score that should go to a player who is consistently a part of his club’s matchday squad. Carroll will struggle to make Pochettino’s top 18 for much of the season.

My Rating: 67
