- Adam Smith (AFC Bournemouth) – 14
Arguably the biggest surprise on the list, Cherries’ long serving defender Adam Smith was fouled an awful number of times this season. It is no secret that he is decent with the ball at his feet but drawing 14 fouls from a defensive position speaks volumes about his quality.
He has been superb for his side in the previous season and will hope to keep up his performances to save his side from relegation for another season.
