Every Premier League centre-back ranked in accordance with their stats considering the performances in this season and playing time.
The Premier League is at its peak phase as it is almost half-way done. There have been some exceptional performances and then there have been some disappointing exhibits.
Defenders have been highlighting part of the Premier League since a while, even the best player in England last season was Virgil Van Dijk, who played a crucial role in Liverpool’s impressive campaign last season.
Then Harry Maguire also had an impressive season which enhanced his reputation and earned him a massive fee move to Manchester United. Leicester City found a good replacement in him as Caglar Soyuncu has been promising so far.
On the other hand, Maya Yoshida and Adrian Mariappa have been huge victims of goals this season. Thus, considering the stats of all the defenders this season, a list of ranking has been released.

Joel Matip above Van Dijk would have been hilarious if someone had said it before the start of the season, but the Dutch International has been underwhelming in last few matches, but at the same time even Matip has not been any exceptional.
