Picking out the top 10 very best-performing footballers across Europe this season seems a straightforward task that wouldn’t cause any kind of heated debate verging on argument, right? Right? Of course not. That’s why WhoScored exist to save the day, ranking those players by performance metrics so far this season to eliminate any room for debate.
The 2022-23 season is far from over just yet but is racing to a close across Europe, and it’s become abundantly clear who has stood out from the rest this season. WhoScored has handily compiled a list of the best players on the continent so far this season, using their only complex statistical algorithm to work out match ratings for each player. Here are the top 10 based on their averages.
Kvaradona this, Mbappe that, let’s waste no further time and get into who’s made the cut.
10. Gabriel Jesus – Arsenal

Now out of the shadow that was an incredibly automated system under Pep Guardiola involving lots of squad rotation, Jesus has become the lynchpin for Arsenal’s glistening attack and given them a steel up front that has helped transform them into Premier League title contenders.
Nine goals and six assists in the Premier League is an impressive return considering he was sidelined for three months after undergoing knee surgery, while his 7.53 average rating from WhoScored also stands out.

Stealing the show over in Italy, Osimhen has been instrumental to Napoli’s domestic dominance.

In fact, it’s surprising to see him only ninth on the list with a 7.55 average rating for just how prolific he has been.
Victor Osimhen does it once again! 🎯
Chest, knee, volley, BOOM!

8. Kvicha Kvaratskhelia – Napoli
The man supplying Osimhen all season long and rolling back the years with unrelenting trickery and style at the same time? Kvaratskhelia.
To highlight exactly how sublime he has been since…
