2026-27 Premier League Playmaker of the Season Contenders

Bruno Fernandes (+225)

Bruno Fernandes made history in 2025-26, setting the highest tally of assists in a single Premier League campaign (21). The Portuguese magician will once again be a key player for the Red Devils under Michael Carrick this term, as United bid to close the gap on the teams at the top of the standings. However, his accumulation of assists could drop due to the fact  that Man United may not boast the same presence from set pieces following Casemiro’s departure.

Rayan Cherki (+375)

Rayan Cherki was an inspired signing for Man City last summer, and his dazzling footwork bewildered defenses throughout the campaign. The 22-year-old is expected to be a key player in Enzo Maresca’s forward line this term, and there is a strong chance that he will improve on the 12 assists that he registered in 2025-26. The metrics certainly support that argument, as the Frenchman completed 3.19 key passes per 90 in the EPL.

Bukayo Saka (+900)

Arsenal superstar Bukayo Saka is also competitively priced up with the Premier League Playmaker of the Season awards. Saka enjoyed an excellent World Cup with England, registering six goal involvements in seven appearances. However, he is yet to show the consistency required across a season to win an individual accolade, racking up six, ten, and nine assists in the last three campaigns, respectively.

Dark Horse to Consider – Phil Foden (+2500)

Phil Foden may still be reeling after missing out on England’s World Cup squad, but a summer break may revitalize his form under Maresca.

The club have shown their support for the number ten by handing him a new deal, and a return to his peak form will make him a serious challenger for the Premier League Playmaker of the Season award. Foden registered five assists in a bit-part role last term, but his most creative campaign did see him rack up 27 goal involvements in 35 appearances in 2023-24.
