  1. Diego Costa (Chelsea) – 17

Chelsea’s biggest savior so far this season, Diego Costa, has been bang in form early this season. He has scored plenty of goals that have kept Conte’s side close to the top of the table and has been one of the most influential player in the league.

He was fouled a total of 17 times already this season and has shown that he is a player not many defenders would want to play against.
