Who's Carrying The Club

goals + assists · 2026-27

Goals and assists this season, read per 90 minutes so a substitute is measured on the same scale as a starter. Switch to Totals for the raw counts.

the bar is this season · beside each name is that player's goals-and-assists-per-90 trend against 2025-26: ▲ up, ▼ down, ▬ level, — not enough minutes for a trend · goals in club colour, assists in grey · click a bar for the player page

The top 7 by goals plus assists. A per-90 rate needs 95+ minutes this season — 35% of the most-played player in the league, a bar that rises as the season runs — so a cameo cannot own the chart; anyone below it appears in Totals and in the table but not in the per-90 view. Each label carries the player's goals-plus-assists-per-90 trend against his full 2025-26 season: ▲ rising, ▼ falling, — no trend yet (a trend needs 450+ minutes last season and 90+ this season).

Across Seasons

The same question over time: one line per player, season by season.

one line per player · click a name in the legend to hide it · add any team-mate below

Each line covers every season the Fantasy Premier League API records for that player at 450+ minutes. Past seasons are league-wide — the API does not record which club a player was at, so a line can cross clubs, and a season spent outside the Premier League leaves a gap rather than a bridged line. 2026-27 is drawn dashed because it is 3 matches old. Expected goals and assists begin in 2022-23; before that the API published none, so those seasons are blank rather than zero.

Cherki leads Manchester City with 4 goals and assists (2 goals, 2 assists); Haaland next with 3 goals and assists (3 goals). Against last season's goals-and-assists-per-90 pace, Cherki has risen most (+1.22); Enzo has fallen most (-0.43). 13 of 20 players with minutes clear the trend guards (450+ minutes in 2025-26, 90+ in 2026-27).

Ball-Winners

defensive contribution / 90 · 2026-27

Who takes the ball back, per 90 minutes — the Fantasy Premier League's composite of ball-winning actions.

the bar is defensive contribution per 90 this season · beside each name is that player's trend against 2025-26: ▲ up, ▼ down, ▬ level, — not enough minutes for a trend · top 12 charted, every qualifying player in the table

The composite is, for defenders, clearances + blocks + interceptions + tackles; for midfielders and forwards, the same plus ball recoveries. Players with 90+ minutes this season, with the year-over-year trend against 2025-26. Tackles, recoveries and clearances-blocks-interceptions (CBI) are this-season counts only — the API's past-season totals carry just the composite, so those three columns have no trend.

Across Seasons

Defensive contribution per 90, season by season.

The Fantasy Premier League API first published this composite in 2024-25, so the line reaches back that far and no further — the earlier seasons are missing, not zero. Past seasons are league-wide and may have been played at another club.

Playing Time

minutes per club match · 2025-26 → 2026-27

Who is getting on the pitch: minutes per club match, last season against this one.

paired bars: last season in grey, this season in club colour · beside each name is that player's minutes-per-match trend against 2025-26: ▲ up, ▼ down, ▬ level, — not enough minutes for a trend

Minutes per club match = a player's minutes ÷ the club's matches played, so a starter reads near 90 and a substitute reads his true share. 2026-27: 3 matches so far; a player's minutes are his own season total, whichever club he played them for. 2025-26: minutes over 38 matches for any Premier League club — the API does not attribute a past season to a club, so a player who moved is measured at his previous club. The trend needs 450+ minutes last season and 90+ this season; every player with either is charted.

Across Seasons

Minutes per club match, season by season — who is gaining, and losing, the manager's trust.

one line per player · click a name in the legend to hide it · add any team-mate below

Past seasons are a player's minutes over 38 matches at any Premier League club; 2026-27 is his minutes over the club's 3 matches so far, which is why that segment is dashed. A season spent outside the league leaves a gap rather than a bridged line.

Semenyo is on the pitch most for Manchester City: 90.0 minutes per club match (270 minutes in 3 matches); Guéhi next (90.0). Against 2025-26, Khusanov has gained most (+51.7 minutes per match); Enzo has lost most (-48.6).

▬ (level) means a trend within ±0.05 per 90, or ±2 minutes per match — a player who was on the pitch for every minute of both seasons reads ▬ 0.0. — means no trend is available.
