Kieran Trippier
Up first is Newcastle United captain Kieran Trippier – he was a blizzard down the right flank last season, taking 3,194 touches in total.
He was a mainstay in the Toon squad in 2022/23 – he played almost every minute in the Premier League during the previous campaign.
Many of Newcastle’s attacks were formulated by the Bury-born right-back. As such, being a focal point for his team, it isn’t surprising to see him on a list like this.
