Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford the most-used player in 2017 with 61 appearances... but who else makes top 10 for games this year?
- Manchester United's Marcus Rashford played 35 Premier League games in 2017
- The young England international also played prominently in cup competitions
- Manchester City's Bernardo Silva and Chelsea's Willian also feature in the list
No player has made more appearances for their club in 2017 than Marcus Rashford.
The Manchester United forward came off the bench against Southampton to play his 61st match of 2017, ensuring he ends the year as the most-used player across Europe's top five leagues.
Rashford has been ever-present in the Premier League, appearing in 35 matches overall and 20 of United's 21 games in 2017-18, although he has just one goal in his last 11.
Marcus Rashford has played 61 times for Manchester United in 2017 - the most across Europe
Valere Germain, of Monaco and Marseille this year, has played 60 times in all competitions
Paulo Dybala has notched up 58 appearances in 2017, underlining his importance for Juventus
When it comes to cup competitions, Rashford has been a mainstay, starting both the EFL Cup and Europa League final, as well as appearing in the Super Cup defeat by Real Madrid in August. He has featured in all six of United's Champions League games this season.
Joining him in the top two is Valere Germain, of Monaco and Marseille in 2017, with 60 appearances. The ever-present striker featured in all-but two of their 38 Ligue 1 games in 2016-17, en route to securing their first league title in 17 years.
Bernardo Silva has been used primarily as a substitute by Pep Guardiola at Manchester City but he was a mainstay among Monaco's title winners.
At City, he has made 29 appearances for his new club in total since his £43m move earlier this year and 59 in total for 2017.
Paulo Dybala is one of the first names on Juventus' team-sheet, as his 58 appearances this year indicate, despite the Argentine being constantly linked with a move away from the club. As long as he remains in Turin, he's almost certain to start.

Lionel Messi has notched 57 appearances in another impressive year at Barcelona
Willian is the only other Premier League player to make the top 10 list of appearances in 2017
Dybala struck 11 goals in 31 games last season, but he's already surpassed that total in 2017-18 in far fewer games, netting 12 goals in 17 league games to date.
Lionel Messi is one of four players to have played in 57 games this year, along with Barcelona team-mate Ivan Rakitic, Juventus forward Gonzalo Higuain and Atletico Madrid's Saul Niguez.
Willian is the final Premier League top 10 entrant, with 55 appearances for Chelsea in 2017, while Leonardo Bonucci, Fabinho, Casemiro and Joao Moutinho complete the list with 54 appearances apiece.
