Huddersfield Town might have finished 19th in the league table in the Championship but have really hit the ground up and running this term. Under the excellent tutelage of David Wagner, the Terries have collected 71 points from 37 fixtures and apart from the likelihood of getting a playoff spot, they do have the chance of clinching an automatic qualification spot as well if we consider the fact that they are merely 6 points behind second-placed side in the form of Brighton & Hove Albion, having played a game less than the Seagulls.
In a season in which they have bettered their yardsticks in an unimaginable manner, here are three Huddersfield Town players who have contributed the most to the club.
Aaron Mooy
A versatile midfielder who can be played in the defensive midfield, central midfield as well as the attacking midfield slot Aaron Mooy has arguably been the best player for Huddersfield Town this campaign. The 26-year-old has scored 3 goals and registered 5 assists already and has clocked 2.1 key passes, 2.6 tackles, 0.3 blocks and 0.8 interceptions every game on an average.
Frankly speaking, he has been the core engine in Terries’ setup, carving a launching pad for his side for their attacking endeavours and has meticulously cushioned the backline as well.
Chris Lowe
Huddersfield Town have been pretty solid at the back and a major chunk of its credit could be traced to Chris Lowe’s consistency throughout the campaign. The German, although predominantly being a left-back, had been played on the left-hand side of the midfield as well, which shows his versatility.
The 27-year-old has 1 goal and 3 assists to his name, advocating the perception that he is indeed a modern-day defender who knows how to maintain a perfect balance between his offensive and defensive duties.
Nahki Wells
Wagner has relied heavily on Nahki Wells to meet his striking needs and hasn’t been let down by the player, to be honest. With 9 goals and 1 assist in 35 games, Nahki’s blistering pace has been a perennial problem for the defences of fellow Championship clubs and not to mention his excellent attributes of finding spaces, clinical finishing abilities and knack to create goal scoring chances have come really handy for Huddersfield Town this term.
The striker has made a long journey, having come to England from Bermuda and it would be a fairytale like finish if he gets an opportunity to play in the Premier League next season.
