Max Gradel
While Bournemouth and Eddie Howe have been one of the feel good stories of the year, you do need to wonder if they could have been higher up the table if not for the injuries picked up by the side. Max Gradel was a former Bournemouth player who joined Leeds United but his best spell came for Ligue 1 side St. Etienne.
He returned to the Premier League this season after scoring 17 goals last season for the French side but a cruciate ligament injury ended his season for Bournemouth.
