Top 5: Premier League Players Averaging The Most Shots Per Game – Includes Liverpool Pair

After 13 games in the Premier League season we are starting to get a good idea of who is up to what. Here are the top five players in the English top tier in terms of Who Scored’s average shots per game.

1) Luis Suarez – Liverpool

The little South American has carried on his fine form from last season this time round with nine goals in seven game. He also tops the shots per game column, with 40, which averages out to 5.7 per appearance.

2) Andros Townsend – Tottenham

Although the hype has died down a little bit now, the winger is still causing mayhem on the flanks. He is a player who likes to shoot, take people on and sprint into space, but it’s the former that gets him into this list. He has had 45 shots so far, an average of 4.5 per game.

3) Sergi Aguero – Manchester City

The Premier League’s top scorer on 10 goals now after his brace against Spurs, Aguero has been in scintillating form. He has had 42 shots, which is an average of 3.8 per game.

4) Olivier Giroud – Arsenal

 Giroud is another forward who has impressed. He has scored seven goals in 12 games and had 3.6 shots per game on average, which is 43 altogether.

5) Philippe Coutinho – Liverpool

The Brazilian isn’t afraid to have a dig, something he has done on 25 occasions this term, which spreads out to 3.6 per game.
