How this page works. The squad roster reflects the 2026-27 season, showing each player under their current club. Player statistics in the details panel below (minutes played, goals, assists) are drawn from the 2025-26 season, regardless of which club the player represented at that time. If a player transferred during or after 2025-26, they appear here under their new club but their stats come from wherever they played last season. This gives you the most accurate picture of each player's recent form going into the new campaign.

Combined match load heading into 2026-27: 2025-26 club minutes + 2026 World Cup

Ranks players by their total playing time heading into the new season: all 2025-26 club minutes (Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, European) plus any minutes played at the 2026 World Cup. A higher combined total means less recovery time before August 22.

Minutes Comparison

Average minutes per game: 2025/26 vs 2026/27. Comparable at any point in the season.

Each line connects a player's average minutes per appearance last season to their average this season. Using averages rather than totals means the chart is meaningful from matchweek one, not just at the end of the season. Green lines show players getting more game time per appearance, red lines show players getting less. Hover any line to see full details. New signings from foreign leagues may not have a 2025/26 comparison point if they did not play in a tracked competition last season. Use the competition and position filters below to focus on a specific group.
