About this episode

Adam Wharton is quickly becoming the complete central midfielder, blending relentless energy with a silky left foot that makes him one of the Premier League's most exciting prospects. This episode analyzes Adam Wharton's dynamic playing style—a rare combination of an "old-school '8'" with elite ball-carrying ability. We dive into the stats that make the Crystal Palace and England star a tactical asset, from his high positional awareness to his impressive 29+ tackles won across the season. Crucially, we revisit the historic FA Cup final, where Wharton played a pivotal role in securing Palace’s first-ever major trophy, cementing his status as a key figure for club and country.
