Season-average match ratings from our data provider for the 2025/26 Premier League, players with at least 19 appearances. A finished season's ratings are final, so this ranking is stable.

The best-rated Premier League players of 2025/26

Bruno Fernandes was the highest-rated Premier League player of 2025/26 on 7.63, from 35 appearances for Manchester United. Bruno Guimarães (7.47) and Declan Rice (7.46) completed the top three, a reminder that ratings reward players involved in every phase of play, not only the goalscorers.

Each rating is a player's average match score across the whole Premier League campaign, built from goals, assists, passing, duels and defensive work. Every player in this top 25 made at least 19 league appearances, so the ranking reflects sustained quality over a full season rather than a short hot streak.

Frequently asked questions

Who was the highest-rated Premier League player in 2025/26?+

Bruno Fernandes was Premier League's highest-rated player of the 2025/26 season with an average match rating of 7.63 for Manchester United, ahead of Bruno Guimarães (7.47) and Declan Rice (7.46).

How are player ratings calculated?+

Each player gets a rating out of 10 for every match, built from on-ball and off-ball actions such as goals, assists, key passes, duels, tackles, interceptions and errors. The season figure is the average of those per-match ratings, so it rewards consistent all-round performance rather than a single standout game.

What is the minimum to qualify for this ranking?+

A player needs at least 19 Premier League appearances in 2025/26 to be included, so a high rating from only a handful of games cannot distort the list. Every player here was a regular starter across the campaign.
