The most accurate passers in the Premier League this season

Rodri
We’ve dived into the stats to find out who the most accurate passers have been in the Premier League this season.

10. Gabriel 

Arsenal have managed to maintain a sturdy backline this season and Gabriel has had a large role to play in that. 

Mikel Arteta’s side have only conceded seven goals this season and conceded an average of 7.4 shots per game. 

The Arsenal defender has managed a pass completion rate of 90.7% as he tends to keep things tidy on the ball. 

9. Jonny Evans 

Leicester City have had a poor season up until this point and Brendan Rodgers is becoming under increasing pressure. 

Despite their troubles, Jonny Evans hasn’t given the ball away too much this season as he has a pass completion rate of 90.8% this season. 

8. Daniel Amartey 

His Leicester City teammate, Daniel Amartey, has also racked up a decent pass completion rate this season at 91.3%. 

Rodgers' side currently have the worst defensive record in the Premier League, having already conceded 22 goals this season. 

They do have a favourable run of fixtures after the international break though and they will be desperate to turn around their current run of form. 

7. Nathan Collins 

Nathan Collins has been an excellent addition into the Wolves backline after they purchased him from Burnley this summer. 

The Wolves defender has a pass completion rate of 91.6% and he has played 70 accurate long passes this season, highlighting his range of passing. 

6. Roméo Lavia 

Having been trained up at Manchester City, it’s no surprise that Roméo Lavia is excellent at keeping hold of the ball.  

The Southampton midfielder has a pass competition rate of 92% and he has been a good addition to the Saints side so far. 

5. Rodri 

Rodri is arguably the best defensive midfielder in the world right now and the stats back it up. 

This season he has completed 73 passes whilst under pressure from an opponent, which is the second most in the Premier League. 

The Spanish midfielder is a vital cog in Pep Guardiola’s system and he has a pass completion rate of 92.4% this season. 

4. William Saliba 

Having spent several seasons out on loan, William Saliba is now back in the Arsenal squad and what an impact he has had so far this year. 

The French defender massively benefited from his most recent loan spell at Marseille and Arsenal are now reaping the rewards. 

Saliba has a pass completion rate of 92.8% and has been a large contributing factor to Arsenal’s study defence this season. 

3. Ruben Dias 

Ruben Dias is pretty much the complete package when it comes to central defenders. 

He is strong and good in the air, as he wins an average of three aerial duels per 90 and he is also very good on the ball. 

The Portugal international has a pass completion rate of 93.8% in the Premier League this season. 

2. Nathan Ake 

As Manchester City have so much talent at the back, it’s easy to overlook someone like Nathan Ake. 

The 27-year-old has really developed since he first arrived at City though and his versatility makes him a useful player for Pep Guardiola. 

The Dutch defender has a pass completion rate of 95.2% and is just beaten to the top spot. 

1. John Stones 

It won’t come as a massive surprise that Manchester City have dominated this list and John Stones claims the top spot as the league’s most accurate passer. 

The English defender has a 96.3% pass accuracy as he has completed 392 of the 407 passes he has attempted this season. 

His range of passes is also fairly impressive as he has a 90.2% pass completion when it comes to long passes this season.
