Aerial Duels
Being able to win the aerial battle with opposing forwards is particularly important in the Premier League where teams, particularly lower down the division, use the long ball to good effect.
On this metric, Torres comes out on top, having won 65.6% of his aerial duels this season, which is a very good figure. Gvardiol, in contrast, has an aerial win percentage of 59.1%. Rudiger, for perspective, has been winning 69.5% of his duels since August.
