Every Premier League centre-back ranked on stats in this season

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.
