  /  RichardYan

According to Squawka's recent statistics, the Nottnigham Forest midfield has taken leading roles in duels won & possessions won in Premier League this season. 

Squawka collects the latest information on duels and possession this season for every individual player in the Premier League, aiming to identify those who can capitalize on their physical benefits and secure their positions on the pitch. Elliot Anderson, without any doubt, is the frontrunner on the billboard. Starting in 25 matches for Nottingham Forest, Anderson completed 211 possession wins—80 more than the second—and 203 duel wins—35 more than the second. To note here, Anderson is not a center back, but his stats on duels surpassed some very experienced center backs such as Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté. Anderson is also talented at passing and creating opportunities. With data up to December 2025, Anderson was leading Moises Caicedo in passes into the final third and ranked high for progressive passes and shot-creating actions. For most of the time, he acts like the midfield engine on the field to connect the back and front lines of the team. Born in 2002, this year is already his 4th year in the senior team since he moved from Newcastle United U21 to the same team's senior team. The future of this youngster is far from predictable.
