Bissouma's general gameplay may not seem attractive, but he is an extremely efficient midfielder. His overall style of play in Graham Potter's system is a hybrid of a pure defensive midfielder and a more orthodox central midfielder.
Aside from a keen eye for making interceptions, Bissouma is also known for his box-to-box gameplay. He is a great carrier of the ball with 45.8 carries per 90. His total distance per 90 is at 279.1m, and he covers 133.3m of progressive distance per 90 as well.
In the Premier league, Bissouma has a total carried distance of 5081m which is one of the highest among midfielders.
#2 Declan Rice | West Ham United
England midfielder Declan Rice has quickly become one of the hottest commodities in the Premier League. Rice is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League right now despite his young age.
It has brought him on the radar of giants like Chelsea and Manchester United, and come the summer of 2022, there could be a huge bidding war over the midfielder. However, it will not be a shock, given Rice's immense rise in the heart of West Ham United's midfield.
Traditionally a defensive midfielder, Rice has evolved the ability to carry the ball. The results are crystal clear as he has a total carried distance of 5798m, the highest among any midfielder in the Premier League.
In addition, he achieves 45.5 carries per 90, 341.1m of total distance per 90 and 176.6m of progressive distance per 90, which lets Rice set the bar pretty high.
#1 Bernardo Silva | Manchester City
Bernardo Silva has been on fire in the current Premier League season. He has been scoring goals and assists and has once again become a kind of guaranteed starter in the star-studded Manchester City squad.
There have been occasions in the past where the Portuguese's performances have not quite been up to the mark and he was even on the verge of departing the Etihad. But that has not been the case in the current season, as Silva has kept both Riyad Mahrez and Ferran Torres on the bench for extended stretches.
The 27-year-old has always been one of the most skilled midfielders in the Premier League. He is extremely good to watch with his silky dribbling and is an excellent ball-carrier who can sometimes become a nightmare to contain for the opposition defense.
Silva has registered 54.5 carries per 90 in the current campaign. In addition, he has 319.5m of total distance per 90 and 180.1m of progressive distance per90. All of this has finally resulted in him recording a league-high total carried distance of 3182m.
