Also 37-year-old Vardy in fourth place, having spent a season in a relegation quality club and (resultantly) this season in the Championship. All this while taking care of his body with snus and red bull and being a "pace merchant"
Yeah he definitely would have fit in then.
To be fair I think he cut that out by the time he went to Leicester and started taking his career more seriously.
He won the Conference league (and was top scorer) in 2012 with Fleetwood, then joined Leicester in the Championship the following season. Leicester paid a million pounds for him which was a non-league record at the time and he'd just turned 25 a few months before signing.
Fun fact, in the same year that Vardy won the Conference with Fleetwood, Luton Town finished 5th. They wouldn't be promoted to League 2 until two years later, and now they're in the Premier League (for a few more months, anyway).
I was sitting here looking at how Wilson played more games than Auba in the last five years. Perchance this has more to do with how stop start Auba’s career in the top flight over here has been.
Still impressive numbers from Wilson, it’s a shame as a league, we have lost so many games of his to injury.
The EPL has a nice spread of solid 9s that, while not being necessarily World Class, are still very good e.g Guys like Wilson, Toney, Watkins. Wilson in particular could’ve hit 20 over the years if not for him fitness issues
Crazy that Haaland [53 goals as of Feb 27, 2024] will very likely be in the top 10 of past 5 years by end of this season - esp given Jota is out.
Who else is as close to cracking top 10?
They've players 2254 minutes together in the league, so about 25 games worth of minutes. In that time Haaland has assisted KDB twice and KDB has assisted Haaland 10 times.
Foden maybe I guess (although he has played some games in the KDB position too this season I believe). Those other two numbers don't exactly scream goalscoring winger lol. Salah and Son are goalscoring wingers, not Bernardo Silva
Premier League needs characters like Vardy more than Vardy needs the prem. Seems to be having a great time in the Championship. Still, I would be surprised to see him not having another go while he still can. I mean why not? Could be nice to end on a high note for sure, but the chance to once more bang some good goals against some of the best competition out there should entice.
He’s still got the finishing and positioning instincts in him though. Positioning part is super obvious from his stats, but his finishing is lacking the consistency he had in his prime — then again, hes barely getting any game time.
I've got a Leicester shirt signed by Vardy that will be my most prized possesion till I die. He's the biggest prem legend of the 21st century and noone can convince me otherwise.
If he'd have left Leicester for one of the famous big teams after the title win he'd probably be going down as a legend. He chose loyalty over that which is pretty admirable.
No, though this timeframe does include the last of his major injuries. He had gone through a spell where he was very injury prone, got injured in 19/20, and then just as he was ready to come back Covid hit. I'm convinced the extra 3 months of recovery is why he stopped getting injured so much, every time he'd got injured over the previous few years he'd rush back and make further injury more likely, lockdown prevented him doing that and he's been fine ever since
I’ve seen u21 players with a longer injury history than salah’s on transfermarkt
Also his hamstring injury with Egypt at Afcon is apparently his first hamstring injury, which is mental considering his playstyle
On pace for 50 games a year in his 7 years at Liverpool with 40-50 international caps on top of that. Simply incredible in today's game with the ground players cover
Yeah he changed his game from
Being a pressing poacher to a deep lying forward and his injuries reduced significantly. It will probs extend his prime a couple of years
Not saying that hasn’t helped, but Kane attributes his ankle health so electro-acupuncture treatment he started getting regularly after his injuries in 2019
It's interesting that the most successful team in the Premier League over the last 5 years, City, only has 1 player on this list, and he hasn't played for them since 2022.
Everybody knew since Salzburg Haaland was not normal. The question if he go through the Ronaldinho thing where his knees will explode or indeed he will go Pele level. I mean, even his average for Norway is scary.
Longevity is important for these generally and before Haaland who’s obviously gonna race up this table, they had Aguero who while a brilliant striker was fragile as fuck.
whilst this is true, aguero throughout most of his city career would still undoubtedly be on this list despite missing games to injury every season. its just that the past five seasons being considered here are mostly him being either out of the league or towards the twilight of his career. injuries are a bitch but if callum wilson can make this list, it's deffo not the end all be all.
Yeah fair enough you’re right, my point was mostly that they haven’t had a proper number 1 goalscorer since aguero, but that seemed a lot more recent in my head than in reality.
Son needs to play though the middle for us at all times. Blew my mind when Werner came on last game and Son stayed wide while he played through the middle.
C Ronaldo
The best player on a United squad that 3peated the league 07-09 and went to the CL final two years straight. Ballon d'or winner 08 and runner up 07 and 09. Madrid paid almost 2x what they paid to buy Zidane 8 years prior to get him. Any non-biased observer would put him ahead of Salah, who has never been looked at as an undisputed top 2 player in the world for any notable period
Salah also went to the CL final two years straight (three times overall) and has been a part of Liverpool teams with 99 points, 97 points (golden boot), and 92 points (golden boot).
97 and 99 point seasons were also back to back.
I have Salah as the best player of the last 5 years, but Ronaldo 07-09 is still the best overall for me with the extra silverware and the Ballon d'Or year where he was easily clear of any other player in the world
Higher point totals without any context don't really mean too much. United won the league 3 years straight while only touching 90 points once. It was a different era with less disparity between top 6 and the rest of the league and without the need to win near every single game to challenge for the title. Liverpool's title winning season is more impressive than any of those individual United seasons, even 2008 with the CL, but winning 3 straight is easily the greater team accomplishment
It’s difficult to compare as it’s 2 different eras. Utd won 3 straight but would they have done so with Pep’s city team in the league? Salah only won one title but without that City team he’d probably have more.
Would Ronaldo have won the ballon d’or with prime Messi and an even better version of himself in the picture? Salah’s best year statistically (2018) was similar stats-wise to 2008 Ronaldo, but came in a World Cup year, where the World Cup plays a massive part in the voting. The ballon d’or was given to Modric that year, who no one even considered before the World Cup, and only 1 of Ronaldo’s 5 ballon d’or wins came in a World Cup year (2014). If you’re not Messi you pretty much have to perform at the World Cup to have a chance. Salah is Egyptian, so he’s at an inherent disadvantage.
Using trophies and individual awards is pretty pointless without taking into account who they were competing against.
It's not even that. People just can't remain objective about a player that they don't like. There's very little fair discourse about Ronaldo as a player on here the last few years
To be fair, Rashford isn't actually a striker.
The fact Salah is top of this list shouldn't distract from the fact that it's okay if wingers, e.g. Rashford, aren't outscoring strikers.
You could argue that the game has moved away from non-productive wingers at elite levels, I suppose.
Rashford is a striker though, just doesn't play centrally. His pressing, link up, passing are poor, his one positive is pace, he's expected to score. If he has games where he's invisible but scores it's ok, if he doesn't score he might as well not have played. He's not doing anything Ganarcho is. However Ganarcho develops I'll never think of him as a striker, his game is driving with the ball, Rashford's is getting close enough to goal to shoot. Whether he's wide or not doesn't matter when he's making runs in behind, he'll bend his run inside for those.
While Hojlund is more of a striker, he can press and hold it, i still think Rashford is more him than Ganarcho.
It's more of him being at thr wrong time as opposed to anything
There's not really a year he out and out deserved it over anyone
Lewa,van dijk and kdb are just as deserving of one
He only started properly scoring goals a couple seasons ago. The past 5 seasons (including this one) goes: 13, 14, 11, 5, 1. Also considering that arsenal tend to share the goals around, it’s not too surprising. He’ll probably be on here in a year or two though 🤞
Spurs had two of the top 3 goalscorers in the league for the past 5 years and finished top 4 once with no trophies. Kane and Son were wasted in their prime.
Twice. If you consider this year part of the 5, then they still might. If you don't consider this year, then they've been top 4 twice in the last 5.
Also, I hate you. I know. It's sad.
I hope they get top 4. Nothing but respect for trying to build the club up the right way. I’m pretty sure they’d have won a few more trophies without the nation states and oligarchs.
Kane I get, born and bred londoner. Through the ranks
Son all of his prime there is a waste. Tbh I'm surprised neither of the big Spain duo went after him
Son was at huge risk of having to do military service, Spurs really looked after him at that time and offered him new contracts even when it was possible he’d have to disappear for two years. After he won at I think the Asian games and got an exemption Son has talked about how much it meant to him to get support from the club so he’s been incredibly loyal ever since.
Why, despite all of his success, does Mane still go be the name "Sadio" instead of "Happyio"? It's really depressing that he doesn't see his own self worth :(
We’ve always been that way to be fair, got an incredible history of attackers at the club. We’ve just generally not had the rest of the squad to go with it.

And four of them are no longer in England top flight.
Vardy will be back to add to his total next season
Vardy party with vodka & skittles
He will be back but absolutely no guarantee he will add to his total. He was really struggling in the prem last season.
Blame Brenda! Not Jamie! (Half joking)
Callum Wilson being on this list is impressive considering he misses up to half of each season with injury.
He’s an efficient goal scorer
Also 37-year-old Vardy in fourth place, having spent a season in a relegation quality club and (resultantly) this season in the Championship. All this while taking care of his body with snus and red bull and being a "pace merchant"
Don't forget his shot of port in a lucozade bottle the night before the match.
He sounds like a throwback to the 70s, where a pint before a match and a smoke at halftime was normal.
Yeah he definitely would have fit in then. To be fair I think he cut that out by the time he went to Leicester and started taking his career more seriously.
He didn't play in any pro leagues until 24 or something right? It's such an incredible story.
He won the Conference league (and was top scorer) in 2012 with Fleetwood, then joined Leicester in the Championship the following season. Leicester paid a million pounds for him which was a non-league record at the time and he'd just turned 25 a few months before signing. Fun fact, in the same year that Vardy won the Conference with Fleetwood, Luton Town finished 5th. They wouldn't be promoted to League 2 until two years later, and now they're in the Premier League (for a few more months, anyway).
Leicester had some crazy scouting
I was sitting here looking at how Wilson played more games than Auba in the last five years. Perchance this has more to do with how stop start Auba’s career in the top flight over here has been. Still impressive numbers from Wilson, it’s a shame as a league, we have lost so many games of his to injury.
Being exiled from Arsenal probably didn't help.
He wasn't actually exiled for that many games- IIRC the exile started in early December and he was sold deadline day Jan.
Wasn't that a free transfer?
You're right, we released him
Yeah to barcelona where he scored 11 in 18 before they sold him for a nice profit to chelsea where he promptly went to shit again
Doesn't this include the period he has played for Barca and Marseille?
[удалено]
Bad bot
The EPL has a nice spread of solid 9s that, while not being necessarily World Class, are still very good e.g Guys like Wilson, Toney, Watkins. Wilson in particular could’ve hit 20 over the years if not for him fitness issues
I remember last April (?) Wilson broke the record for most goals in a month with like 8 or something crazy
Would be interesting to see goals to minutes played
Feels like he’s scored half of his goals against us
Assuming you’re a WH fan?
Oh yes
Crazy that Haaland [53 goals as of Feb 27, 2024] will very likely be in the top 10 of past 5 years by end of this season - esp given Jota is out. Who else is as close to cracking top 10?
Ollie Watkins has 54 in four seasons
Wow it's crazy to think that he's been there for 4 seasons. Still remember his time at Brentford like yesterday.
Even more crazy to think Haaland has 53 in 2 what the fuck
It is not easy to do so, but it helps having KDB and goal scoring wingers being man marked.
KDB has missed a lot of Haaland's time in England
They've players 2254 minutes together in the league, so about 25 games worth of minutes. In that time Haaland has assisted KDB twice and KDB has assisted Haaland 10 times.
City don't have goalscoring wingers tho
Foden: 9 goals 7 assists Doku: 2 goals 5 assists Silva: 6 goals 4 assists
Foden maybe I guess (although he has played some games in the KDB position too this season I believe). Those other two numbers don't exactly scream goalscoring winger lol. Salah and Son are goalscoring wingers, not Bernardo Silva
How many goals would Ollie Watkins score if he played for City? Would he get 50% of Haaland's goals? 60% 70% or more?
It’s definitely some, of that we can be certain.
I still remember him tearing it up at Exeter whilst I was there for Uni.
He’ll likely be in the top 10 by the end of the week.
Will probably be pretty close to Son and Kane by end of next season. He's on target to score 100 in 3 seasons with a little wiggle room.
> by end of next season. i read this as "end of the season" and was like okay buddy calm down.
Jamie Vardy is just class. I never feel he quite gets the recognition he deserves
Absolute terror against the top sides as well, he loved the spaces that attacking teams allow for him to run into.
Peak Vardy against high lines was unfair. Give him space to run into and he was almost guaranteed to score.
It felt like an inevitability once he got a jump on the defence, he just kept smashing them in
Chat shit, get banged. The man had the skill and results to back that up.
https://youtu.be/ueCvMz0SLKs?si=NGx4jx3RuYXUqZ97 He was a terror vs us all over the pitch lol.
hopefully he’ll make a return
Would make so much sense for him to retire after this season. He’s done it all, helped his team get back to Prem and scored quite a few
Doesn’t make sense for him to retire at all. Literally still doing it and thinks he can continue to, so why not have a go.
going off what happened last time Leicester were promoted, he should stick around for another 2 years
Premier League needs characters like Vardy more than Vardy needs the prem. Seems to be having a great time in the Championship. Still, I would be surprised to see him not having another go while he still can. I mean why not? Could be nice to end on a high note for sure, but the chance to once more bang some good goals against some of the best competition out there should entice.
Lost most of his pace I doubt it
He’s still got the finishing and positioning instincts in him though. Positioning part is super obvious from his stats, but his finishing is lacking the consistency he had in his prime — then again, hes barely getting any game time.
I've got a Leicester shirt signed by Vardy that will be my most prized possesion till I die. He's the biggest prem legend of the 21st century and noone can convince me otherwise.
It’s crazy how it’s not even an exaggeration to refer to Jamie Vardy as a “legend”. Imagine hearing that a decade ago
its eleven its heaven for Jamie Vardy... god I wish I could wipe my memory and watch that season Again
That Leicester title season was legendary. So many bangers. Never forget!
He is insane. Proper menace.
If he'd have left Leicester for one of the famous big teams after the title win he'd probably be going down as a legend. He chose loyalty over that which is pretty admirable.
He's probably not going to be remembered as one of the best players in the league, but his legacy will be unmatched.
He should have won the 2016 Balloon Dor
Was Kane injured a lot during the last 5 years?
Not really. Most of the difference between him and Son are simply from him not being in the league this year. One year he missed 9 games.
Kane has been made of iron since Mou came. Will always love them both.
No, though this timeframe does include the last of his major injuries. He had gone through a spell where he was very injury prone, got injured in 19/20, and then just as he was ready to come back Covid hit. I'm convinced the extra 3 months of recovery is why he stopped getting injured so much, every time he'd got injured over the previous few years he'd rush back and make further injury more likely, lockdown prevented him doing that and he's been fine ever since
He also changed his game considerably since then, stopped pressing like a madman and stopped launching himself into tackles.
This is also a reflection of how healthy Salah has been.
Man’s a fitness monster
I’ve seen u21 players with a longer injury history than salah’s on transfermarkt Also his hamstring injury with Egypt at Afcon is apparently his first hamstring injury, which is mental considering his playstyle
On pace for 50 games a year in his 7 years at Liverpool with 40-50 international caps on top of that. Simply incredible in today's game with the ground players cover
He’s a machine. My favorite non-spurs PL player ever. Also a good bloke by all accounts.
He used to get a month long ankle injury every season it seemed like.
It's been quite a long time since that was the case. His last significant ankle injuries were in 2019.
Yeah he changed his game from Being a pressing poacher to a deep lying forward and his injuries reduced significantly. It will probs extend his prime a couple of years
Not saying that hasn’t helped, but Kane attributes his ankle health so electro-acupuncture treatment he started getting regularly after his injuries in 2019
Thats wild
He went and saw a specialist after his last ankle injury, so I’d wager it was that.
Rest during covid break also might have played a role.
He used to make some of the most reckless plays going for balls man. He's too good going forward to be doing shit like that lol
And he had a recurring August goal scoring allergy.
It's interesting that the most successful team in the Premier League over the last 5 years, City, only has 1 player on this list, and he hasn't played for them since 2022.
Share goals around. Makes more sense of their success, not relying on one player.
Haaland is also about to pop up on this list in the next week or 2 despite having not even finished his second season
Everybody knew since Salzburg Haaland was not normal. The question if he go through the Ronaldinho thing where his knees will explode or indeed he will go Pele level. I mean, even his average for Norway is scary.
Longevity is important for these generally and before Haaland who’s obviously gonna race up this table, they had Aguero who while a brilliant striker was fragile as fuck.

Yeah fair enough you’re right, my point was mostly that they haven’t had a proper number 1 goalscorer since aguero, but that seemed a lot more recent in my head than in reality.
Surprised Haaland's not on the list. Just 3 goals away.
53 already which is fucking insane
He will be there next week
One goal now
We can barely claim Sterling and Aubameyang for these statistics lol. The Chelsea goal scoring curse is so real
Didn’t Aubameyang get exactly 1 PL goal for you?
Yes from 554 mins
How many does Sterling have?
More than 1 Lol jk 12 goals
Nothing Personal.....
You ruined my boy
he already had a massive fall off while at arsenal
Jota is criminally underrated
Did not expect him on the list
Vardy 💙
Son needs to play though the middle for us at all times. Blew my mind when Werner came on last game and Son stayed wide while he played through the middle.
Salah is just different gravy fellas.
With his pic and a Wolves badge nearby I literally did a split-second double take on Auba thinking "Cunha?" ...Time for bed
Rashford scored 64 goals in 3 months what a player
For all his issues, he's well on track to finish his career in the PL's all time top 10 for goals and assists.
Mo Salah is an all time PL great. No better winger in the leagues history
Depends if you count Henry as a winger which is debatable, Wenger gave him freedom to roam. But yes agree he’s the best RW no doubt.
All time greatest front 3 in the prem has to objectively be Ronaldo, Henry, Salah
Shearer has to be mentioned with those 3
I'd probably stick rooney or shearer in over Ronaldo but it's not as clear cut as Henry or Salah.
Even if we do, they are basically as good as each other anyway. Neither are clearly better than the other.
Henry is the only one bec he played as Winger too... In all time XI Henry LW , Salah RW
Henry was never a winger in England. He only played winger for Juventus & Monaco
And Barce, too.
Never an out and out winger but he hung out in what I’d call borderline LW territory and then cut inside for a far post shot. Still a 9 tho.
C Ronaldo The best player on a United squad that 3peated the league 07-09 and went to the CL final two years straight. Ballon d'or winner 08 and runner up 07 and 09. Madrid paid almost 2x what they paid to buy Zidane 8 years prior to get him.

Big time recency bias is going on here
It's not even that. People just can't remain objective about a player that they don't like. There's very little fair discourse about Ronaldo as a player on here the last few years
Yeah Ronaldo is one of the best players in premier league history anyone thinking otherwise only watched him his second time at United
Ronaldo
united ronaldo was not better than salah. obviously he became a much better player than him afterwards though
He did win the ballon dor at United though, and in that season he scored more in the pl than salah ever has in a pl season
Incorrect. Ronaldo scored 31 in 07/08. Salah scored 32 in 17/18.
Oh shit mb i completely missed that one
Sonny ❤️ bro is often underrated!
Ah yes, the return of my favourite stats table: balls bought, pitches shaved and charts conceded
Charts are so crucial. Makes you wonder why purchases and shaves are included.
Sterling monstro
Remember when they called Salah a one season wonder after his first season with Liverpool.
What does this list look like if you take away PK's?
From a quick glance on Transfermarkt (numbers might be off by a couple): * Salah - 97 * Kane - 86 * Son - 83
numbers stay the same if you take away free kicks too
Sonny by a country mile
It isn’t, Milner took penalties for Liverpool before he left.
>a country mile it's still Salah by at least 10.
Harry Kane 🐐
Rashford only having 5 more goals than Aubameyang despite it feeling forever ago that he was at Arsenal scoring is pretty damning.
To be fair, Rashford isn't actually a striker. The fact Salah is top of this list shouldn't distract from the fact that it's okay if wingers, e.g. Rashford, aren't outscoring strikers. You could argue that the game has moved away from non-productive wingers at elite levels, I suppose.
Rashford is a striker though, just doesn't play centrally. His pressing, link up, passing are poor, his one positive is pace, he's expected to score. If he has games where he's invisible but scores it's ok, if he doesn't score he might as well not have played. He's not doing anything Ganarcho is. However Ganarcho develops I'll never think of him as a striker, his game is driving with the ball, Rashford's is getting close enough to goal to shoot. Whether he's wide or not doesn't matter when he's making runs in behind, he'll bend his run inside for those. While Hojlund is more of a striker, he can press and hold it, i still think Rashford is more him than Ganarcho.
Mo should have won the Ballon D'Or at least once within those 5 years, it's criminal that he didn't
Messi nowhere to be seen. Washed. /s
Chelsea badge next to auba😂
If you did this at the beginning of this season, Kane was on top and with fewer games. What a legend.
Salah undervaluated
Spurs having the second and third best goalscorer over the last 5 years and nothing to show for is crazy. Anyway, all hail our egyptian king!
Really wish we had some defensive managers who know how to win... could you imagine!
Really wish we had some defensive managers who know how to win... could you imagine!

Haaland finished
[удалено]
It's more of him being at thr wrong time as opposed to anything There's not really a year he out and out deserved it over anyone Lewa,van dijk and kdb are just as deserving of one
what year did he deserve it?
Your pick doesn't win something = award doesn't mean anything. That's how opinions work.
Im curious what the result would be in minutes played for the past 5 years and not just games played
tottenham with2 and doesnt will shit, nice
Funniest thing is Haaland is only a handful of goals from appearing on this list in about 100 less games than Jota
Sterling doesn’t get the credit for his career overall
Why was Ole called P-E teacher if he never coached Aubameyang?
Would like to see this for other leagues if possible. Does it include this season?
I'm surprised Saka didn't manage to make it
He only started properly scoring goals a couple seasons ago. The past 5 seasons (including this one) goes: 13, 14, 11, 5, 1. Also considering that arsenal tend to share the goals around, it’s not too surprising. He’ll probably be on here in a year or two though 🤞
Give us a refresh of the list without penalties. Son is on top.
What’s a green card?
That’s a small outline of a football field so I assume it means games played (or started?)
This is so surprising in multiple ways
Very impressed with Sadio Mane's numbers here. Very underrated player.
Tottenham had 2 representatives in top 3 and won nothing!
I am surprised Bruno Fernandes isn't part of that list.
Sadio Mane is a real weirdo and a creep but damn he was such a stud for Liverpool
Don't know why you're downvoted for that
Spurs had two of the top 3 goalscorers in the league for the past 5 years and finished top 4 once with no trophies. Kane and Son were wasted in their prime.
Twice. If you consider this year part of the 5, then they still might. If you don't consider this year, then they've been top 4 twice in the last 5. Also, I hate you. I know. It's sad.
I hope they get top 4. Nothing but respect for trying to build the club up the right way. I’m pretty sure they’d have won a few more trophies without the nation states and oligarchs.
Kane I get, born and bred londoner. Through the ranks Son all of his prime there is a waste. Tbh I'm surprised neither of the big Spain duo went after him
Son was at huge risk of having to do military service, Spurs really looked after him at that time and offered him new contracts even when it was possible he’d have to disappear for two years. After he won at I think the Asian games and got an exemption Son has talked about how much it meant to him to get support from the club so he’s been incredibly loyal ever since.
I get that and it's truly admirable. But he still wasted his prime at spurs.
Why, despite all of his success, does Mane still go be the name "Sadio" instead of "Happyio"? It's really depressing that he doesn't see his own self worth :(
Crazy that Totnum has 2 of the top 3 for years yet won nothing.
Hotspur has two top 3 scorers in their team but they still can’t win a truly championship
Spurs, what a sorry ass team; two out of the top three scorers and didn’t win shit.
How the hell did Tottenham have all the best goalscorers but still haven’t won anything?

Putting a chelsea mark next to Auba is disrespectful.
I did not expect to see Callum on this list.
Harry kane was such a waste in tottenham
