Overview
- A survey of 2,000 supporters commissioned by OLBG asked fans to combine traits from past and present Premier League figures into one ideal player.
- OnePoll data shows fans prioritised finishing (56%), passing (49%) and ball control (47%), with football IQ and pace each at 43%.
- Respondents chose Mo Salah’s left foot, N’Golo Kanté’s work rate and Kevin De Bruyne’s game intelligence, with De Bruyne also leading for passing.
- Cristiano Ronaldo topped selections for finishing, dribbling, ball control and heading, and one in five named him the best all‑round Premier League player.
- Fans picked David Beckham for free‑kicks and Didier Drogba for strength, while Peter Crouch’s humour and Roy Keane’s leadership featured alongside concerns about declining loyalty and admiration for the 2000s era.
