The ever-present players thread 2020-21

[Sporting]

A thread to celebrate those who play every minute. Goalkeepers have a head start here. League matches in general but added brownie points for cup appearances. We're only a few games in, but any possibilities among your clubs here for a full season?

Did any player in any league achieve full playing time last season? With rotations, it's hard these days.

Paul Lambert is attempting to use a more settled line-up and formation this season after a series of apparently random nonsensical selections last time. Nine games in there are still three players to have played every minute in the league - goalkeeper Tomas Holy, defender and captain Luke Chambers and midfielder Andre Dozzell. It's particularly notable in Dozzell's case, as he'd never previously played more than a handful of games consecutively. Not before time too. There are no ever-presents if you include the Cups because the last Football League Trophy team was basically the U18s/U23s.

Luton have managed 6 players so far - the keeper and entire back four (Simon Sluga, Martin Crainie, Rhys Norrington-Davies, Sonny Bradley & Matty Pearson) plus Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu. Crainie isn't first choice & Mpanzu one booking away from a suspension but the other 3 have a decent chance of going the season.

Matty Pearson was ever present in 18/19 and then the first 41 games of last season until he was dropped after losing 5-0 at home to Reading so managed 87 games in a row from the point he joined the club.

I think I heard Conor Coady discussed in this context recently.

Harry Maguire played every minute of the Premier League season, I think.

Dozzell was sent off at Sunderland on Tuesday, so he's gone.

[Snake Plissken]

Pope, Westwood, Taylor, McNeil and Long I think for Burnley this season.

VVD also did the full season so it seems he and Maguire were only BRC outfield players to do so.

Who was the last attacking player with a BRC to do a full season?

[Sporting]

Not ever-presents but players with most minutes played in 2020. Any surprises?

Maguire has some compromising photos of Solksjaer.

[Sporting]

Hah!

Lindelof is one who surprised me.
