British journalists have put together a symbolic XI of the best Premier League players who are warming the bench in the 2026/27 season. Featured are stars from Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea, all of whom have played under 140 minutes.

British media have created a symbolic XI of top Premier League players who have seen limited playing time. The list includes stars who have spent less than 140 minutes on the pitch during the 2026/27 season.

In goal is Georgiy Mamarashvili of Liverpool, who hasn't made his debut this season, remaining firmly behind Alisson in the pecking order.

The defence is made up of Martin Subimendi from Arsenal (94 minutes), Tosin Adarabioyo of Tottenham (76 minutes), Omar Alderete from Sunderland (82 minutes), and Rico Lewis from Manchester City (56 minutes).

In the midfield, we’ve got Ayub Bouaddi from Manchester City (125 minutes), alongside Arsenal’s duo of Eberechi Eze (130 minutes) and Mikel Merino (111 minutes). Eze, in particular, has been seen as a major disappointment for the Gunners thus far.

Leading the line are Estevao from Chelsea (29 minutes), Alejandro Garnacho of Aston Villa (31 minutes), and Victor Dyoqueresh from Arsenal (84 minutes). The Swedish forward has ultimately succumbed to competition from Kai Havertz.
