Our favourite footballers for every position in 2019: Part 1
2019 is coming to an end and we’ve listed out our favourite footballers for every position!
Striker: Sergio Aguero
Aguero is Manchester City’s all-time leading goal scorer and four times Premier League champion, but we don’t think he receives the plaudits he deserves. It’s not a fair evaluation if you compared the total number of goals scored by strikers in the Premier League because any stat is bound to favour those with a longer Premier League career. The right way to evaluate whether a footballer is good or not is through the goals per game ratio. Based on this stat, we can clearly see how deadly Aguero is on the pitch!

Right backs: Trent Alexander-Arnold
The 21-year-old Liverpool player is regarded as the best right-back in the Premier League at the moment. Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville claimed that Alexander-Arnold was one of the most impressive full-backs he’d seen in an attacking sense. Let’s just hope he’ll only get better with time!
