The list of players with the lowest acceleration in the current season of the English Premier League has been published. This ranking was presented by the statistics and analysis agency Opta.
In the list, the first place was taken by Bernardo Silva, a midfielder of Manchester City. The Portuguese player's top speed was only 29.4 km/h. This figure earned him the title of the slowest player in the English championship.
Additionally, the following players are also included in the list:
1. Bernardo Silva (Manchester City) – 29.4 km/h
2. Craig Dawson (Wolverhampton) – 29.6 km/h
3. Mikel Merino (Arsenal) – 29.8 km/h
4. Casemiro (Manchester United) – 30.2 km/h
5. Tomas Soucek (West Ham) – 30.2 km/h
According to analysts, these players are technically strong and play an important role in positional play. Therefore, their speed may not be considered a disadvantage. However, for teams that prefer high-tempo attacking football, this figure may be significant.
The English Premier League pays attention to physical indicators every season and analyzes each player's playing style. Thus, the impact of low speed on a player's effectiveness will become evident throughout the season.
