Counted through 24 May 2026
Availability, as every manager says, is a talent. Most squads lose a first-choice player to injury, suspension or rotation within a month. A handful of players go a whole season without missing a single team sheet.
9 players started every Premier League 2025/26 game , all 38 of them.
Started every game
| Player | Club | Starts |
|---|---|---|
| A. Truffert | Bournemouth | 38 |
| B. Leno | Fulham | 38 |
| B. Verbruggen | Brighton | 38 |
| D. Petrovic | Bournemouth | 38 |
| J. Bowen | West Ham | 38 |
| J. Garner | Everton | 38 |
| J. Pickford | Everton | 38 |
| L. Shaw | Manchester United | 38 |
| V. van Dijk | Liverpool | 38 |
By club
Clubs with more than one ever-present tend to be the settled sides. Cross-reference with the Static XI table and the overlap is rarely a coincidence.
- Bournemouth A. Truffert, D. Petrovic
- Everton J. Garner, J. Pickford
- Brighton B. Verbruggen
- Fulham B. Leno
- Liverpool V. van Dijk
- Manchester United L. Shaw
- West Ham J. Bowen
What we count, and what we do not
An ever-present here is a player who was named in the starting eleven for every one of their club's matches in this competition, taken from the official team sheets published at kickoff.
We count starts, not minutes. A player who started all 38 matches and was substituted in thirty of them still appears on this list, because the substitution data needed to separate the two is not something we hold. Nobody on this page is claimed to have played every minute.
