Premier League fouls

First a caveat: most of the players to total a sky-high foul count in the Premier League do need to have played a significant number of games. If you come in like a bull in a Mike Dean shop, kicking everything you see, you won’t even get a chance to reach 50 fouls, let alone the 160+ this crew have totalled.

Also, there are different types of fouls. You may be picturing a grizzled centre-back or midfield destroyer. Yet a striker who tussles with defenders or a diminutive winger who presses too eagerly can also get used to the sound of a referee’s whistle.
