We have compared the average age of each Premier League squad, broken down by position, to find out which areas of the field are more suited to older or younger players in England’s top flight.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s often said in football that age is ‘just a number’, and that if a young player is good enough, they are old enough to feature regularly.<\/p>\n

Equally, if a veteran is still capable of playing at the highest level well into their 30s, many would say there is no need to replace them with an up-and-coming youngster.<\/p>\n

But how much do this year’s Premier League<\/strong><\/a> clubs follow either viewpoint?<\/p>\n

To find out, we at SportsCasting have analysed the average ages of every squad in the Premier League and found the average age of each positional group.<\/p>\n

Key Highlights:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Goalkeepers are the oldest position in the Premier League on average (30.74 years old).<\/li>\n
  • Midfielders are the youngest on average (25.96 years old).<\/li>\n
