Tottenham -defender Micky van de Ven this season at the top of the charts for Sprint Speed in the Premier League, has unveiled a report.
The season of the Dutch star is hampered by hamstring injuries and it is easy to see why, given the mind -expanding speeds that he clocked this term. Van de Ven has achieved a top speed of 37.1 km/h this season – not only more than any other player, but the only one reaching the 37 km/h marking.
The 23-year-old just before the midfielder Matheus Nunes and Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo from Manchester City show data.
On the other side of the scale, the veteran city of midfielder Bernardo Silva, who has registered the slowest speed in the Premier League this period. The Portuguese brings the back in a competition with Tomas Soucek, Casemiro, Mikel Merino and Craig Dawson.
Silva's top speed of 29.4 km/h is the slowest of every outfield player in the competition.
When it comes to keepers, Arsenal Stopper David Raya is at the forefront and it is little surprise given his impressive sprintend display against James Ward-Prowse earlier this year.
The Spaniard has registered a top speed of 32.7 km/h that places it in every position among the fastest players in the division.
Elsewhere, data from the statistics company also showed the players who spend most of the time on sprinting – and those who enjoy a 'relaxed' walk more often than others.
Given the first, Nottingham Forest Winger Anthony Elanga leads the road with an impressive 1.17 percent of his time spent on the field that is bursting with a lung to step on the ball or fly past defenders.
The Swede occurs on Anthony Gordon from Newcastle at 1.10 percent and Liverpool Vooruit Darwin Nunez with 1.07 percent. However, when the gross number of sprints is analyzed, Fulham's Antonee Robinson Supreme reigns.
Opta defines a sprint as a player who runs more than 25hm/h, so it is in favor of those who are able to quickly move over the slower stars that bend their anaerobic muscles. Robinson started with a stunning 702 sprints this term, more than Gordon at 666 and Daniel Munoz at 658.
For the most sedentary players, look no further than Wolves' Mercurial Forward Matheus Cunha, who did his best Lionel Messi impression this season.
The 25-year-old has spent a frankly ridiculous 77.6 percent of his time on the field. That places him at 76.5 percent and 75.5 percent respectively for Virgil van Dijk and Christian Romero's will.
Interestingly, speed trader Adama Traore is in fourth place in this statistics with a size of 75.1 percent.
This of course excludes the most vain players on a football field, charged with the orders of a 16x16m area. When keepers are added to the list, Forest Stopper Matz Sels is unparalleled.
The Belgian spends a barely credible 95.5 percent of his time.
Another interesting finding are the players who have treated the most land in the Premier League. Soucek van West Ham is at the top of the gross rankings in a metric that benefits those who play each game and reaches a total of 140.8 km.
Destructive per game, it is Tottenham's Dejan Kulusevski with the most impressive figures for stars to have played for at least 1500 minutes. The Swede is on average 12.3 km per 90, while Soucek and Sandro Tonali reach 12.2 km and Bernardo Silva manages 11.9 km.
