Premier League Stat Leaders: Salah sets the standard

The Premier League is currently on a hiatus due to the upcoming International break so with that in mind we’ve taken a look at some of the stand out stats on some of the most popular markets to help you with your upcoming selections once Europe's top league gets back down to business. We’re well over a quarter of the way through the 2021/22 season and there are some clear patterns emerging.

Goals

Mohamed Salah stands alone like a colossus at the top of the Premier League scoring charts. The man is simply unstoppable currently and has taken his game to a new level this campaign.

• 10 - Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
• 7 - Jamie Vardy (Leicester City)
• 6 - Sadio Mané (Liverpool)
• 6 - Michail Antonio (West Ham United)
• 5 - Raphina (Leeds United)

Shots

With 11 games gone in the season we see some of the same names as in the goals charts but there are a few quite surprising names in this chart. Said Benrahma, Leandro Trossard and Adam Armstrong all stand out as strikers who are shooting often but struggling to convert. (Minimum 6 appearances)

• 4 per game - Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
• 3.6 per game - Michail Antonio (West Ham United)

• 2.64 per game - Saïd Benrahma (West Ham United)
• 2.64 per game - Adam Armstrong (Southampton)

Shots on Target

Liverpool’s Mo Salah again is way out ahead on this stat. When he gets chances he usually gets them on target. He's almost a full shot per game better than his nearest challenger Cristiano Ronaldo. (Minimum 6 appearances)

• 2.18 per game -  Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
• 1.38 per game -  Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United)
• 1.3 per game - Michail Antonio (West Ham United)

• 1.18 per game - Mason Greenwood (Manchester United)
• 1.18 per game - Sadio Mané (Liverpool)

Fouls

The fouls chart is mainly dominated by combative midfielders as you would expect. However leading the way is Watford's Emmanuel Dennis. He's one of 3 strikers in the list.(Minimum 6 appearances)

• 2.6 per game - Emmanuel Dennis (Watford)
• 2.56 per game - Paul Pogba (Manchester United)

Yellow Cards

As we can see from the yellow cards leaders, fouls don’t always translate into yellow cards. Dennis still leads here but there are lots of names not on the fouls chart. And Cristian Romero has an incredible 4 yellow cards from only 4 fouls! 

• 5 - Emmanuel Dennis (Watford)
