Premier League

In our analysis, we evaluate all the players who played in the Premier League until February (2023/2024 Season). In other words, we evaluate and filter the best performers with a minimum of 900 minutes played in the league. Assessing all the positions, we evaluate a lot of factors and indicators in their games that allow us to generate the ratings for their performances. As a matter of fact, in this type of analysis, the type of formation played doesnt influence or limit the ratings system.

GOALKEEPERS (GKs):

1. Nick Pope (Newcastle)
2. Alisson (Liverpool)
3. Emiliano Martínez (Aston Villa)

With another great season, Nick Pope is the best performing goalkeeper in the Premier League until February. As shown above (and playing for the current first place in the league), Alisson is second on the list and one of the main reasons for Liverpool being one of the best defenses in the league.

CENTRE-BACKS (CBs):

1. Lewis Dunk (Brighton & Hove Albion)
2. Jan Paul van Hecke (Brighton & Hove Albion)
3. Cristian Romero (Tottenham Hotspur)

In terms of the Centre-Backs, the Top 3 is led by one of the biggest surprises in the English Premier League: the Brighton duo. As a matter of fact, Lewis Dunk leads the average rating of Centre-Backs in the Premier League until February being followed closely by his teammate Jan Paul van Hecke and Cristian Romero.

FULL-BACKS (FBs) and WING-BACKS (WBs):

1. Kieran Trippier (Newcastle United)
2. Pedro Porro (Tottenham Hotspur)
3. Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)

As shown above, in a Top 3 lead by a good margin, Trippier archived the highest average ratings among the Full-Back and Wing-Back position until February. Being, without doubt, one of the most exciting players in the English League, Trippier is having another great season leading a list with strong presence such as Pedro Porro and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

MIDFIELDERS (Ms) and WINGERS (Ws):

1. Rodri (Manchester City)
2. James Maddison (Tottenham Hotspur)
3. Pascal Groß (Brighton & Hove Albion)

Considered, by our website, the best player of the last season, Rodri has the highest average ratings in the league among Midfielders and Wingers. Despite not being the flashiest player, Rodri has an incredible impact in the Manchester City squad and their fixtures.

CENTRE-FOWARDS (CFs):

1. Abdoulaye Doucouré (Everton)
2. Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
3. Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)

In this top 3, the main surprise is Doucouré: contrarily to the season preview, Doucouré is Everton’s key player for this years style of play since he plays closely/in the striker position. Either way, Haaland is close to the average rating of Doucoré in this Premier League analysis – until February 2024.
