Most Fouled and Most Fouls Conceded
Eden Hazard is the most fouled player in the League so far – being fouled 42 times already and he wins a foul every 31.49 minutes. Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling is next on 37 fouls won and surprisingly a full-back appears at third place – Danny Rose.
Jonas Gutierrez and Steven Pienaar are also players that dribble with the ball frequently so you’d expect their fouls won to be high as you would from the top 2.
Grant Holt continues to be the player that gives away the most free-kicks. His presence up-top seems to be penalised a lot when going for aerial duels or ground duels. He’s not necessarily a dirty player – as free kicks are given for a variety of reasons! Fellaini at second place is expected – his strong style and pressing will see him commit many fouls. Mikel Arteta, Charile Adam and Bradley Johnson make up the Top 5. It’s surprising to see Arteta here however Charlie Adam has a knack of giving away free kicks!
