The use of statistics to analyse football is growing with each and every season.
Every single aspect of the game is now used to grade player performances week in week out, from the amount of passes made to successful dribbles.
All these variables give every player in the Premier League an overall rating for their contributions and we're going to take a look at those numbers from the 2019/20 season.
We've decided to find the three players from all 20 Premier League clubs who earned the highest ratings for their efforts.
There a few surprises, but it will come as a shock to absolutely no one that Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne is top of the pile for the entirety of the English top-flight, with the Belgian boasting a muscular rating of 7.97.
Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes comfortably sits in second overall with a 7.73 rating, highlighting once again the impact of the Portuguese midfielder since his arrival in January.

The top three in most of the 20 Premier League clubs are who you'd expect, but there are a few exceptions.
Pepe over Aubameyang? That just seems to defy all logic, with the Ivorian winger enduring a sub-par debut season. In contrast, Aubameyang scored 22 Premier League goals for the second consecutive campaign.
Jamie Vardy's omission from Leicester's top three also seems quite bizarre, with the English striker winning the Golden Boot thanks to his 23 goals.
Then you have Sheffield United, one of only three Premier League clubs - along with Brighton and Palace - to not have a single player with an overall rating higher than seven.
Chris Wilder's Blades were the surprise package of the 2019/20 season, finishing ninth in the table and playing some of the best football in the league.
But apparently the likes of Basham, Egan, Dean Henderson, John Fleck, Enda Stevens and more are not worthy of a decent overall rating.
Proof - if you needed it - that stats don't always tell the full story in football.
