European Leagues Premier League

BEST PLAYERS IN PREMIER LEAGUE – ENGLAND (JAN 2024)

In our analysis, we evaluate all the players who played in the Premier League until January (2023/2024 Season). In other words, we evaluate and filter the best performers with a minimum of 700 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. Alisson (Liverpool)
  2. Nick Pope (Newcastle)
  3. Emiliano Martínez (Aston Villa)

With another great season, Allisson is the best performing goalkeeper in the Premier League until January. Playing for the current first place in the league, Allisson is one of the main reasons for Liverpool being the best defense in the league.

CENTRE-BACKS (CBs):

  1. Manuel Akanji (Manchester City)
  2. Lewis Dunk (Brighton & Hove Albion)
  3. William Saliba (Arsenal)

In terms of the Centre-Backs, the Top 3 is led by one of the biggest surprises in the English Premier League. As a matter of fact, Manuel Akanji leads the average rating of Centre-Backs in the Premier League until January in the 2023-2024 Season. Equally, we can see that he is being followed closely by Lewis Dunk and William Saliba.

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

  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 January. Being, without doubt, one of the most exciting players in the English League, Trippier is having another great season. We also need to emphasise the tremendous season Pedro Porro is having.

MIDFIELDERS (Ms) and WINGERS (Ws):

  2. Pascal Groß (Brighton & Hove Albion)
  3. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)

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.

CENTRE-FOWARDS (CFs):

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

In a Top 3 led by Erling Haaland, 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 to the striker position. Either way, Haaland leads the average rating among strikers in the Premier League until January 2024.
