The most offside players this season
Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez has been flagged offside the most this season at 11 times; three of those came in Liverpool’s most recent game against Crystal Palace.

Nunez’s teammate Luis Diaz is a close joint-second with 10 offsides. West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen accompanies Diaz in the number two spot as well as Anthony Elanga and Son Heung-Min.
