9. Charlie Savage – 3 from outside (Reading)
Charlie Savage showcased maturity and composure in Reading’s midfield during the 2024/25 campaign, logging over 3,800 minutes and chipping in with three goals from distance. The 22-year-old combined tidy distribution with a willingness to try his luck from range.
His goals weren’t speculative — they came from well-timed strikes where he found space on the edge of the box. Savage’s long-range shooting complemented his growing role as a midfield orchestrator.
8. Dan Kemp – 3 from outside (Stevenage)
Dan Kemp’s creativity shone through again for Stevenage, as he added three outside-the-box goals to a productive season. The 26-year-old attacking midfielder brought urgency and flair to the final third, often picking up loose balls and turning them into shooting opportunities.
His left-footed strikes were clean and well-placed, and his ability to strike quickly in transition helped Stevenage break down compact defensive lines.
7. Jon Russell – 4 from outside (Barnsley)
Jon Russell offered Barnsley physicality and a surprising long-range threat from midfield. At 6’4″, the 24-year-old uses his frame well in duels but also possesses a soft touch and eye for goal.
His four goals from outside the box came from clean strikes and good positional awareness, often stepping into space left by retreating defences. Russell’s long-distance threat provided balance to Barnsley’s midfield and showcased his all-round ability.
