FotMob Premier League Team of the Month: Evanilson, Rice and Jackson Stand Out With October Performances Analyst
Bournemouth forward Evanilson secured the highest averageFotMob player ratingfor his performances across October in thePremier League, while Declan Rice and Nicolas Jackson also made the XI following impressive displays. Another month of Premier League action has passed, but who impressed the most?
Well, luckily, we have FotMob's player ratings to answer that exact question. Using those ratings, we've assembled our Premier League Team of the Month, with Opta data providing a deeper look at the performances behind the ratings.
Following an extended international break, Premier League action resumed on 10 October after two weekends off. Four matchdays have been played since, ending with Everton's trip to face Newcastle on 2 November.
This team picks out the highest performers between those dates. Goalkeeper: Bart Verbruggen (Brighton) - 7.8 Bart Verbruggen kept three clean sheets across his four Premier League appearances in October - no goalkeeper in the competition collected more.
The last of those came in an exceptional 1-0 win at Manchester City on 31 October, helping Brighton secure their first-ever competitive win away at City at the 18th attempt. That match saw Verbruggen make seven saves at the Etihad Stadium; only one goalkeeper made more in a Premier League game between our eligible dates (Senne Lammens vs Chelsea - 8).
Overall, the Dutch goalkeeper saved 14 of the 15 shots on target he faced in the month, with his saves giving him a goals prevented value of 1.9 (one goal conceded from an xGOT of 2.9). Left-Back: Andrew Robertson (Tottenham) - 7.6 Andy Robertson has enjoyed a successful month of Premier League action for Tottenham, winning all three games that he's featured in for the club.
Robertson's three Premier League appearances in October saw him secure a FotMob player rating of 7.0 or above in all three games. That's the first time he's managed that in three successive Premier League matches since doing so in December 2024 for Liverpool.
Only Mohammed Kudus (16) fired in more open-play crosses for Spurs across the month than the Scottish defender (13), while he also created five chances and assisted one of their goals in the 3-1 win over Coventry on 19 October. Central Defence: Ezri Konsa (Arsenal) - 7.8 Ezri Konsa played in all four of Arsenal's games between the beginning of October and 2 November, and ended on the winning side in each one.
The England defender even scored his first Premier League goal for Arsenal and his first in the competition since May 2025, in their 2-0 victory over Everton on 24 October. His FotMob player rating of 8.0 in that win was his highest in a Premier League game in nearly a year (8.0 on 30 November 2025 for Aston Villa vs Wolves).
