Premier League 2021/22: Which player tops the xG per 90? Who has the most recoveries in the opponent’s half?

Following GW5 of the Premier League, we’ve pulled together all the player stats for you to have a look at.

These stats tables will tell you who is performing best in many of the metrics that are now available to everyone with an interest in data.

Of course, it is important to use these metrics in context – they do not tell us absolutely everything and it is still very early in the season so take some of them with a pinch of salt.

All that said, if you want to know which Premier League player has had most shots on target, who has the highest xT (expected threat) or who has made the most recoveries in the opponent’s half etc then you are in the right place.

There are LOTS of pages in this report, simply scroll through the numbers at the bottom to work your way through.
