Poll: Who's the TOP PERFORMER in the Premier League so far?

The 2026/27 Premier League season has already proven to be a thrilling ride, showcasing exceptional talent across the pitch. With five matchweeks behind us, fans are eager to weigh in on who deserves to be labeled the EA SPORTS Player of the Season so far.

Standout Players to Watch

Some players have truly distinguished themselves, delivering performances that have electrified supporters and lifted their teams. Hull City’s Brahim Belloumi, for instance, has been a revelation. After battling injuries for two seasons in the Championship, the Algerian winger is back on form, contributing with two goals, two assists, and impressively topping his team’s charts in shots (13) and dribbles (six).

Arsenal's Riccardo Calafiori has also made headlines, making a successful transition to the left-back position. Celebrated by Jamie Carragher, the former Liverpool defender, as the league's premier left-back, Calafiori not only excels defensively but also finds time to assist his teammates, accumulating two assists in the process.

Promising Young Talents Shine

Rayan Cherki of Manchester City is another name to keep an eye on. His current stats of three goals and two assists don’t fully capture the excitement he brings to the field. A stunning solo goal against Crystal Palace highlighted his talent and made him a nightmare for opposing defenses.

Brighton & Hove Albion’s Pascal Groß has returned to peak form at 35, playing an indispensable role in the team's success. With 15 chances created and six goal involvements, he’s helped his side net an impressive 16 goals this season, showcasing his enduring quality.

For Liverpool, Hugo Isak is already proving his worth after a challenging previous season. He has revitalized his contributions with four goals thus far, helping his team accrue vital points as they aim for the top.

Defensive Stars Making an Impact

On the defensive front, young talents like Sacha Jacquet and Jovica Muharemovic are making their marks. Jacquet has immediately impressed at Liverpool with an impressive duel win rate while also securing caps for France. Meanwhile, Muharemovic has proven crucial for a solid Leeds United defense that remains unbeaten.

Martin Ødegaard, back in form for Arsenal, has been instrumental, playing a key role in their attacking strategies with nine line-breaking passes into the penalty area. His resurgence is pivotal for the champions as they look to maintain their momentum.

João Pedro has also been a standout alongside Groß, with six contributions to team goals despite missing one game due to injury. His dynamic play has added depth to Chelsea's front line under coach Xabi Alonso.

Defensive Titans and Goalkeeping Greats

Everton’s James Tarkowski stands out in defense, leading the league in vital metrics such as tackles and aerial duels. His strong performance is essential to Everton's current defensive prowess, making them one of the toughest teams to break down.

Goalkeeper Dimitris Tzolakis deserves recognition too, having made an impressive start with Hull City. He kept clean sheets in his first three matches before conceding after 277 minutes, showcasing an impressive save rate of 81 percent.

Lastly, Luka Vuskovic, only 19, has exhibited great maturity and strength in defensive duels, proving he’s ready to shine even at his young age.

As we observe the ongoing evolution of the 2026/27 Premier League season, it is clear that several players are impacting their clubs significantly. Take a moment to choose who you think should be the top performer based on these stellar performances.
