Most-used starting XI
Premier League 2025/26 · 38 matches · most common formation 4-3-3 (24 of 38)
The eleven players with the most 2025/26 league starts, each shown in the line he most often started in, with his season start count. This is a record of last season, not a predicted lineup: team sheets come from the openfootball public-domain archive and cover the 2025/26 season in full. Rows follow the source team sheets, so a player used across several roles appears in his most common one.
