Goalkeeper and Defense
- GK: Konstantinos Tzolakis (Hull City) – 7.57 rating. A £20m arrival from Olympiacos, Tzolakis has been instrumental in Hull’s strong start, keeping clean sheets in all three of his opening Premier League appearances, including two against Champions League-level opposition.
- CB: Maxence Lacroix (Chelsea) – 7.06 rating. Moving away from a youth-heavy strategy, Chelsea secured the 26-year-old to add necessary experience. He has become an immediate starter and recorded an assist on his debut against Fulham.
- CB: Tarik Muharemovic (Leeds United) – 7.38 rating. An imposing left-footed defender, Muharemovic has been an ever-present figure for Leeds this season, building on his strong defensive record from his time in Serie A with Sassuolo.
- CB: Nobel Mendy (Hull City) – 7.43 rating. As the club’s record signing from Rayo Vallecano, Mendy has excelled as a left-footed center-back, notably scoring against Manchester United during his debut.
- RB: Anan Khalaili (Crystal Palace) – 7.33 rating. Filling the void left by Daniel Munoz, Khalaili has made an aggressive start, leading the league with 17 tackles—at least five more than any other player.
Midfield and Attack
- CM: Elliot Anderson (Manchester City) – 7.25 rating. Despite high expectations following his significant transfer fee, Anderson has silenced critics by starting all three matches, showing strong metrics in passing, touches, and interceptions.
- CM: Mamadou Sangare (Brentford) – 7.15 rating. Arriving as a record signing for the club, Sangare has started every game, contributing an assist against Tottenham within 12 minutes of his debut and ranking among the league’s top interceptors.
- AM: Christos Tzolis (Arsenal) – 7.00 rating. Acquired for £34m, Tzolis has quickly justified the investment. After an impactful Community Shield debut, he registered an assist against Chelsea in his third league outing.
- LB: Andy Robertson (Tottenham Hotspur) – 6.54 rating. Although currently the lowest-rated player in this XI, Robertson was brought in to provide leadership to a squad lacking experience. He has featured in all three of Tottenham’s opening matches.
The team is organized in a 3-4-2-1 formation, though this remains fluid as the season progresses. The selection is based on average WhoScored ratings to highlight the most statistically significant impacts made by new arrivals.
Other notable performers include Rogers, who currently holds the highest rating among all new signings, having contributed to a goal in each of his first three matches, including strikes against Fulham and Arsenal and an assist against Brighton. Meanwhile, Fulham’s Gonzalo Garcia, signed from Real Madrid, made an immediate impression by scoring on his Premier League debut against Chelsea. The report also notes that which new players have made the biggest impact in the Premier League this season and what would it look like if we put them all in one team. The report also notes that they’re more than halfway to making a mockery of those predictions after just three games, there were some shouts that they could rival Derby’s record for the lowest number of points in a Premier League season; in reality. The report also notes that the fact they seem to have unearthed a goalkeeper they can depend upon has certainly helped. The report also notes that cB: Maxence Lacroix (Chelsea ) – 7.06 After years of focusing too heavily on youth, Chelsea wised up to their need for more experience this summer, taking it to unexpected extremes with the signings of Jordan Henderson and Danny Welbeck but finding a sensible middle ground with Lacroix. The report also notes that cB: Nobel Mendy (Hull City) – 7.43 Another Hull representative and the second left-footer in our back three, Mendy became the Tigers’ record signing when he joined from Rayo Vallecano. The report also notes that but has made an encouraging start, he has relatively big boots to fill after Daniel Munoz’s exit and has only been on the winning side once so far. The report also notes that in fairness, Anderson isn’t doing a bad job of silencing those of us who predicted he’d be a massive flop.
