Here is the worst player for every Premier League club in 2024/25. We are using WhoScored average match ratings, so shout at them, not us.
We are only including players with at least 400 minutes played.
Every Premier League club’s worst player this season
Arsenal: Leandro Trossard (6.62)
Trossard is a super sub. He won’t like the tag but that is what he is. The midfield experiment failed and Mikel Arteta should have put more trust in Ethan Nwaneri. In fairness to the Belgian, 6.62 is far from poor and he has messed about positionally. He is still the best £20m Arsenal have spent in a decade.
JOHNNY NIC: We are in the Mikel Arteta at Arsenal endgame; the process has failed
Aston Villa: Diego Carlos (6.07)
Diego Carlos had a tough time at Anfield. Heck, he has had a tough time in 2024/25.
Bournemouth: Adam Smith (6.33)
Smith’s poor performance in the 3-2 defeat to Brentford has succumbed him to a position on this list. That, and Julian Araujo not playing enough minutes.
Brentford: Mads Roerslev (6.28)
Roerslev has been at Brentford for four years and we could not name you one thing he has done in that time. Make of that what you will.
Brighton: Jack Hinshelwood (6.45)
Harsh on Hinshelwood, we reckon. He is only 19 and has been impressive in our eyes. The algorithm isn’t as convinced.
Chelsea: Malo Gusto (6.44)
Being Reece James’ back-up is more strenuous than being Reece James, so Gusto has played a lot since joining Chelsea in 2023.
Enzo Maresca trusts him, just as Mauricio Pochettino did. Rightly so.
Crystal Palace: Daichi Kamada (6.29)
Tipped to be the bargain of the season, Kamada has been pants and a red card against Fulham did not help his case.
Everton: Jack Harrison (6.26)
Harrison has zero goal involvements in 628 minutes this term.
Fulham: Calvin Bassey (6.38)
This is another one that feels harsh. Bassey has played in all 12 matches and hasn’t looked that bad.
Ipswich: Wes Burns (6.07)
Ipswich finally won a Premier League match but Burns did not play. He is struggling to shine in Our League.
Leicester: Oliver Skipp (6.33)
It has been tricky start at the King Power for Skipp, who has three yellow cards from seven appearances in the Premier League.
Liverpool: Cody Gakpo (6.60)
Liverpool are on fire this term but it had to be someone. Sorry, Cody.
Man City: Kyle Walker (6.36)
Walker has had a difficult year. And when we say difficult, we are politely saying he has been rubbish. He should not be starting for Man City anymore and his ridiculous ‘defending’ against Timo Werner should be enough to prove that to Pep Guardiola.
Man Utd: Joshua Zirkzee (6.36)
A match-winning goal on his debut was the perfect start. Everything since then has been, well, a little s**t.

Newcastle: Jacob Murphy (6.37)
Newcastle fans probably didn’t expect Murphy to be a regular three years into their Saudi Arabian project.
Nottingham Forest: Anthony Elanga (6.45)
Elanga has two assists this season but is Forest’s worst player with a respectable average match rating. James Ward-Prowse is 19 minutes away from taking his place with a horrendous 6.07.
Southampton: Jack Stephens (5.93)
The worst rating in the entire division (minimum 400 minutes played), Stephens got sent off against Manchester United on September 14, didn’t play again until October 26, had a couple of OK performances, and then dropped a 5.78 in a defeat to Wolves.
Tottenham: Pape Matar Sarr (6.64)
Sarr has been far from poor this season. Remarkably, Spurs have the highest-rated player here.
West Ham: Edson Alvarez (6.16)
The red card against Forest did Alvarez no favours.
Wolves: Jose Sa (6.29)
It doesn’t feel like Sa has been Wolves’ worst player since coming back into the team but he probably was before being dropped for Sam Johnstone.
