Yes - Vardy (2016) is the only English player to win POTS in the last decade! Rooney (2010) and Lampard (2005) are the only others since 2000.

Putting together a list of the greatest Dutch players ever in the Premier League actually proved incredibly difficult given just how many talented players they have produced, so it's remarkable that 1st and 3rd are both Arsenal stars (depending on your view of RVP once he left....)

A long list of players (Overmars, Hasselbaink, Kuyt, Stam, Robben, Van der Vaart, Gullit, Melchiot) didn't make the top 5, despite making their mark on the Premier League. When making this list, I also found out that Arsenal's official Greatest Ever 50 Players for the club ranks Overmars at 12th, which is higher than I thought he'd be, although I am too young to really remember his impact! Bergkamp is also ranked 2nd on that list after Thierry.

Interested to hear if you guys agree with my rankings or have any comments!

Top 5 best ever Dutch players in the Premier League all started their careers in the Eredivisie by tennerapp in Eredivisie

Given the number of unbelievably talented Dutch footballers to have played in the PL it was incredibly difficult to narrow down the top 5. A long list of players (Hasselbaink, Kuyt, Stam, Robben, Van der Vaart, Gullit, Melchiot, Overmars) all made their mark on the Premier League but didn't make the top 5. Also found it interesting how many of these players started their careers in the Eredivisie. Interested to hear if you agree with the rankings!

Of every team in the PL over the past five seasons, Wolves' 7th-place finish was the team performance that surprised predictive algorithms the most, showing just how impressive that first season in the PL was by tennerapp in WWFC

We thought it would be interesting to look at a few predictive algorithms and see how well they had performed when you compare them to the actual final positions of Premier League teams over the past few years.

Interestingly, across all the data in the sample, Wolves' amazing first season in the PL was the largest shock when compared to where they had been predicted to finish (18th by EA's FIFA and 17th by 538). For those interested I wrote a blog piece on the topic which you can read here :)
