Anan Khalaili Named in Premier League Team of the Season by WhoScored
Crystal Palace Israeli player Anan Khalaili has been named in the WhoScored Premier League Team of the Season so far for 2026/27, boasting an average rating of 7.16.
Anan Khalaili's impressive start to the Premier League season continues to translate into numbers. The Crystal Palace Israeli player was included in the Team of the Season so far by the statistics website WhoScored, based on the average ratings of Premier League players in the early stage of 2026/27.
Khalaili, who received an average rating of 7.16, was naturally deployed on the right side of the defense in the team. Alongside him are Konstantinos Tzolakis of Hull City in goal, Tarik Muharemovic of Leeds, James Tarkowski of Everton, and Lewis Hall of Newcastle in defense. The midfield features Pascal Gross of Brighton, Vitaly Janelt of Brentford, Mohamed Belloumi of Hull, Rayan Cherki of Manchester City, and Maxim De Cuyper of Brighton, with Joao Pedro of Chelsea leading the attack.
The selection comes after Khalaili secured a regular spot in Crystal Palace's starting lineup. He has featured in all five of their league games so far and started the last four.
Yesterday (Sunday), Khalaili completed another 90 minutes, this time in a 0:0 away draw against Leeds. In the 52nd minute, Palace found the net through Tyrick Mitchell, but the goal was disallowed after it was determined that Khalaili was offside at the start of the build-up. The Eagles at least recorded their first clean sheet in the league since April.
