We have tracked every team and every key attacker this season using the Statz Premier League stats hub. Here is the full picture.

The Big Surprise at the Top

Manchester United lead the Premier League for SOT at 5.69 per game. Whatever their league position, they generate shots at an elite rate. That matters massively for player SOT bet builder legs.

Manchester City are second at 5.38 and Arsenal third at 4.91. These three clubs are the best environments for SOT bet builder picks by some distance.

Avoid Burnley and Wolves in SOT Markets

Burnley are bottom with just 2.97 SOT per game. Wolves are 19th at 3.29. The gap between them and the top is nearly 3 shots on target every single game.

That makes their attackers significantly harder to back in SOT markets. The underlying numbers just do not support it.

Premier League Player SOT Leaders 2025-26

Now the individual rankings – the players who have hit the most shots on target across the whole season:

  1. Erling Haaland – 52 SOT
  2. Igor Thiago – 41
  3. Antoine Semenyo – 38
  4. Benjamin Sesko – 35
  5. Matheus Cunha – 33
  6. Dominic Calvert-Lewin – 31
  7. Ollie Watkins – 31
  8. Morgan Rogers – 31
  9. Bryan Mbeumo – 30
  10. Morgan Gibbs-White – 28

Haaland Is on Another Level

52 shots on target. Erling Haaland is comfortably the best player in the league for this market – 11 clear of second place. In any SOT bet builder leg, he is the first name on the teamsheet.

Igor Thiago at 41 is the bigger surprise. He has been one of the most clinical finishers in the division when fit, and the Brentford system gets him into the right areas consistently.
