2. Leighton Baines (Everton)
Baines decided to stick around despite being linked heavily with a move to Manchester United in the summer, and the England international has proved his worth with three cracking goals so far. His deliveries from set plays are world-class, and his crossing has left many a defense scrambling to clear the ball. His galloping runs down the left are a major source of chances as evidenced by the 20 he has already created this season despite spending some time on the sidelines with an injury.
