Vladimír Coufal completes the squad of stars! He has been ranked among the Premier League’s most dangerous players

Vladimír Coufal has been very steady in the Premier League. However, in the 2021/22 season he was hampered by one serious injury which required a surgical solution. And he also missed one game against champions Manchester City. Despite this, he still managed to rank among the Premier League’s cream by one measure.

Vladimir Coufal is famous for being able to send a lot of centres and dangerous passes into the opponent’s penalty area during a match. And now a careful statistical analysis has confirmed it.

The West Ham right-back has joined the squad of stars who produced the most dangerous passes during the past season. Coufal is also the only player who has managed to pocket one of the best right backs in the world.

Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold occupied almost all of the space on the right side of the field, but the ex-Slav Coufal still pushed him out of one zone. And we have to be objective and say that Coufal’s Hammers play far more defensive football than the Reds.

We can also find names like Bruno Fernandes and João Cancelo in the entire lineup of the most dangerous passers. So this is a great result for the Czech international!

Finally, a word about the xT (expected danger/threat) statistic itself, in very simplistic terms it is a statistic that shows the threat to the opponent’s goal from different areas of the pitch.
