With the nominees for the Premier League player and young player of the season awards being announced on Thursday, Sofascore have been quick to turnaround who statistically should win both awards.
Manchester City and Arsenal have dominated both shortlists with two players each in the eight-man list of nominations.
Stars from Liverpool, Aston Villa, Newcastle and Chelsea have also made the cut and are in the running for individual prizes this season.
Sofascore have decided who should win both award by their average rating across the 2023-24 Premier League season.
There is perhaps no surprise that Manchester City star Phil Foden tops both lists, as he averages a rating of 7.76 across the season.
