Ranking the 10 most accurate shooters of the 2025/26 Premier League season

We all know Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland is the best in the Premier League at purely scoring goals, which involves more than just shooting, but who is the most accurate shooter in the league when they are in front of goal? Using a mix of analytics like shot on target percentage and goals per shot ratio, here are the 10 most accurate shooters of the 2025/26 season thus far. 10. Erling Haaland, Manchester City Erling Haaland has scored more goals than anyone in the Premier League this season, but he's actually only 10th in goals per shot ratio and 9th with a shot on target percentage of 49. Still, being in the top 10 with that high volume of shooting opportunities is highly impressive, even if Haaland hasn't been as automatic as he was to start the season. 9. Danny Welbeck, Br...

The best non-European player at every Premier League Big 6 club today

The English Premier League is obviously going to be dominated by players from both England and Europe as a whole, but this is a truly international league where players and fans from around the world come together. There is a great legacy of players outside of Europe in the Premier League like Didier Drogba and Sergio Aguero. Here are the best current Premier League stars from outside European nations who are starring for the top teams in the league's Big Six. Arsenal: Gabriel Magalhaes (Brazil) This one was easy. Gabriel Magalhaes is the best center back in the Premier League right now, though Marc Guehi is awfully close, and it's been about time that he received recognition for his quality from even the Premier League diehards. With all due respect to William Saliba, Gabriel is cut ...

Based on a review of the analytics, here are the 10 best midfielders in the Premier League right now in the 2025/26 season, ranked in order. 10. Martin Zubimendi, Arsenal Martin Zubimendi has been everything Arsenal could have hoped for.

Every Premier League Big 6 club’s most underrated player right now

Everyone wants to talk about the superstars and the guys competing for scoring titles or the Ballon d'Or, but there are so many great players even at the Big Six Premier League clubs who don't get enough love. So let's shout out the workhorses who are shining for the biggest teams in England without as much fanfare as their teammates. Arsenal: Jurrien Timber The young right back has slotted in beautifully for Arsenal since joining and has become the nailed on starter with 27 of them this season. Timber has eight goal contributions and is one of many set piece mavens for the club, but where he really stands out is his one on one defending. You can make a very, very strong case that Timber is already the best defensive fullback in world football. He leads Arsenal's elite defense with 2....

Every Premier League Big 6 club’s most turnover prone player in the 2025/26 season

There is nothing more frustrating and nothing that destroys confidence in a team's attack than a player who can't keep ahold of the ball, especially if they are not creating enough danger with it. Here is every Premier League Big Six club's most turnover prone player in the 2025/26 season, using WhoScored's data on times dispossessed and poor touches to guide each decision. Arsenal: Viktor Gyokeres The clear winner is striker Viktor Gyokeres. Although his presence has been massive to Arsenal tactically as a true No. 9 who can be the focal point of the attack, his actual quality on the ball has been appalling. Gyokeres has one of the worst first touches in the Premier League and loses the ball frequently, which is wild for a player who only even averages 0.2 dribbles completed per game...

Ranking the top 10 creators in the 2025/26 Premier League season based on stats

The chance creators don't often get the same praise as the goal scorers, but the players in Premier League history who have often captured imagination have been the ones making the beautiful assists, like Kevin De Bruyne and Mesut Ozil in recent years. Using only statistics to guide our evaluation, let's take a look at the best creators of the 2025/26 Premier League season so far. I used expected assists, key passes, and big chances created to produce this top 10. 10. Leeds CM Anton Stach It is always good to throw in a curveball from outside the top clubs, and Leeds can credit their survival so far in part to brilliant Bundesliga signing Anton Stach. Not only is he an elite defender, but he is averaging 2.2 key passes per game for a team that would have major issues without his chance c...

But all the teams are keeping an eye peeled for the upcoming summer 2026 transfer window. So with taht in mind, here is an early look at dream signing for each of these prestigious clubs. Arsenal Arsenal's biggest need is definitely on the left wing, so while Sandro Tonali is their ultimate dream target overall, the Gunners may actually benefit the most from landing his teammate Anthony Gordon to add some more pace and goal scoring to the Arsenal attack over the maddeningly inconsistent Gabriel Martinelli. Gordon's goal scoring exploits in the Champions League are especially intriguing, and...

Arsenal, Mikel Arteta’s dark arts will inevitably lead to Premier League rule changes

After the Gunners' 2-1 win over Chelsea on Sunday, the football world is again talking about Arsenal corner routines and the so-called ‘dark arts’ used by Mikel Arteta’s side. These conversations have been a staple of the 2025-26 Premier League season, but it’s starting to feel like we have finally reached a tipping point for what fans, commentators, and even other clubs are willing to accept. Manchester City legend Yaya Toure said he was “disappointed” by Arsenal’s performance in the London Derby match, while former AC Milan and Chelsea star Ruud Gullit described the Gunners’ tactics as “truly awful to watch” on Dutch television. On Tuesday, Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler added his name to the long list of football fans unhappy with Arsenal’s corner routines this season. Spe...
