Edinson Cavani - 98 appearances

While Edinson Cavani had already enjoyed three years at PSG, his best seasons came under Emery, scoring 35 and 28 Ligue 1 goals in two campaigns.

Adrien Rabiot - 89 appearances

Becoming a more established midfielder under Emery, Adrien Rabiot was one of the Spaniard's most trusted players, with Rabiot later speaking highly of the coach, saying "This is a coach who really communicates with everyone. He is asking us our opinion after the sessions, what we liked, what we didn't like."

Angel Di Maria - 88 appearances

After a successful first season at PSG, Angel Di Maria was joined by Emery for his second campaign. Di Maria continued to play a crucial role for the French side, scoring 35 goals in two seasons in all competitions.

Marquinhos - 85 appearances

Despite being capable of playing in either midfield or defence, Marquinhos was struggling for regular starts at PSG prior to Emery's arrival. The sale of David Luiz in 2016 after Emery was appointed saw Marquinhos become a frequent fixture in the PSG side.

Marco Verratti - 81 appearances

One of the best midfielders of his generation, Marco Verratti blossomed into a crucial part of the PSG side under Unai Emery, though injuries restricted him to just 50 Ligue 1 starts

Thiago Silva - 79 appearances

Despite not playing under Emery until his 30s, Thiago Silva demonstrated why he was still one of the world's premier defenders, captaining the club throughout his tenure.

Julian Draxler - 72 appearances

One of the most exciting young wingers in the game at the time, Julian Draxler was signed in the January of Emery's first season in Paris, quickly become a regular member of the side.

Alphonse Areola - 70 appearances

After spending a number of seasons on loan away from the club, Alphonse Areola claimed the gloves under Emery, becoming the Spaniard's first-choice stopper.

Thiago Motta - 70 appearances

Despite being in his twilight years, Thiago Motta was still a regular fixture under Emery, particularly in his first season when he made 42 appearances.

Thomas Meunier - 70 appearances

One of Emery's first signings, Thomas Meunier joined for around £6m in 2016. Although he was rarely first choice, the Belgian did rack up 70 appearances over two seasons.
