Another Premier League season is almost complete and when it is all said and done, the inevitable period of reflection will occur.
Who scored the best goal? Which team was the worst? or who was each team’s best player?

Jorginho signed for Chelsea from Napoli
And thankfully, this is where we can help answer that final question to establish which club has reaped the benefits and got full value for their money.
A study by Sportsman.com has worked this out by dividing the players transfer fee as looking at statistics such as number of passes made, assists and goals scored.

Brooks has been a revelation for the Cherries this season and his displays have attracted the attention of Manchester United among others. Despite his slight stature, the 21-year-old is one of the first names on Eddie Howe’s team-sheet and has netted six times this season.

Cardiff
Best – Greg Cunningham (£4,684 per minute, win, clean sheet, goal, assist, pass, tackle, shot blocked, clearance, interception, cross, big chance created)
The former Manchester City defender has played just seven times in the league for the Bluebirds, but it is enough for him to come out on top as the club’s best piece of business.
20
The former Man City defender has featured just seven times this season
Chelsea
Best – Jorginho (£9,711 per minute, win, goal, assist, shot on target, pass, tackle, shot blocked, clearance, interception, cross and big chance created)

A wonderful crosser of the ball, Digne has a wand of a left foot and has arrived at a crucial time for Everton, who are going through a transitional phase and with Leighton Baines no longer the force he was, the Toffees have found his long-term replacement.

Fulham
Best – Maxime Le Marchand (£1,131 per minute, win, clean sheet, goal, assist, pass, tackle, shot blocked, clearance, interception, cross, big chance created)

Liverpool
Best – Xherdan Shaqiri (£7,585 per minute, win, goal, assist, shot on target, pass, cross, big chance created)
While his absence in the last few weeks has been frustrating for both fans and players, Shaqiri at one point looked like being one of the signings of the season in the earlier phase of the campaign. A sublime free-kick against Southampton and a double against Man United have shown what he is capable of.

Shaqiri made an excellent start to the season
Manchester City
Riyad Mahrez (£30,181 per minute, win, goal, assist, shot on target, pass, cross, big chance created)

Newcastle United
Best – Martin Dubravka (£1,178 per minute, win, clean sheet, save, catch, high claim, punch, sweeper clearance, pass)

Southampton
Best – Stuart Armstrong (£3,995 per minute, win, goal, assist, shot on target, pass, tackle, shot blocked, clearance, interception, cross and big chance created)
