It will come as little surprise that the likes of Willy Gnonto and Ethan Ampadu are at the top of the pile when it comes to average player ratings this season. The Whites duo have performed especially well compared to their teammates and peers.
Here is every player’s average rating, provided they have made at least one appearance in 2023/24 and received a score at the end of that particular fixture.
