10 players who played the most minutes in the Premier League in the last five seasons

2) Gareth McAuely – West Bromwich Albion: 14,561 minutes

McAuley has saved the Baggies time and again this season

Second on the list is Gareth McAuley – West Bromwich Albion’s veteran defender who has a knack for scoring goals with six goals in the 2016/17 season so far – with 14,561 minutes.

To put things into perspective, he has scored more goals this season than his previous three seasons combined! The Northern Irishman is currently in his sixth (and possibly final) season with the Baggies and at least five goals have been crucial to their rise up the table to eighth in the league.
