The 2023/24 Premier League season is gradually coming to an end, the championship race is exciting between Man City, Arsenal, and Liverpool. The end of the journey is when we find out the players named in the typical squad that will be available at the end of the season. FUN88 will compile a list of the best players in the Premier League below so you can refer to this squad.
1. Goalkeeper Nick Pope – Newcastle
David De Gea won the “Golden Glove” in the 2022/23 season but the Man United goalkeeper’s performance was unstable. He had many clean sheets but made many mistakes. With other goalkeepers, Aaron Ramsdale, Ederson, or Alisson are also hard.
As for Newcastle’s Nick Pope, he has maintained excellent form throughout the past season. The 31-year-old goalkeeper has 14 clean sheets and has not made any mistakes that directly led to any goals, which is why he is in this squad.
2. Right back: K. Trippier – Newcastle
Signing up to join Newcastle from Atletico Madrid for only 14 million euros in early 2022, Trippier was so familiar with the Premier League environment while playing at Tottenham that he quickly demonstrated his influence on the team. The English right-back becoming the best player in the Premier League is understandable.
3. Center back: W.Saliba – Arsenal
Saliba’s 2022/2023 season is the time when he made great progress in the Arsenal shirt. The French player is in coach Mikel Arteta’s starting lineup in every match. Saliba defends firmly and moves the ball confidently, making him the Gunners’ No. 1 center-back.
4. The central defender position will be V. Van Dijk
Playing proactively, intelligently, and accurately, and the Dutch midfielder’s excellent ball-moving thinking is the key to Liverpool’s recent success. Van Dijk is the most notable face in the current squad of 11 best Premier League players in defense.
5. Left back: N.Ake – Man City
When coach Pep Guardiola contradicted and pushed Joao Cancelo to Bayern, Ake was in the left-back position and experts commented that Pep Guardiola did not understand what he was thinking. However, the Dutch defender proved that he played excellently and became an indispensable choice on the left wing. This player is ranked only behind Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne in the list of the club’s best players.
6. Holding midfielder Rodri – Man City
The Premier League season 2022/23 has emerged with many excellent holding midfielders such as Declan Rice or Casemiro, Thomas Partey, etc. But it will be difficult for anyone to surpass Rodri when he is the most important piece in Pep and MC’s system. The half-blue team of Man City also has many options in this position, but Rodri was chosen because of his most comprehensive skills among the holding midfielders in the Premier League. From defending, passing the ball, and escaping pressure to moving the ball, Rodri does everything well.
7. Central midfielder M. Odegaard – Arsenal
Odegaard is also having the most sublime season of his career as both a leader on the field and a leader off the field. The best player in the Premier League currently scored 15 goals and 8 assists last season and rescued Arsenal many times with his classy plays. The Norwegian midfielder will remain the Gunners’ mainstay for many more years according to experts.
8. Central midfielder Mac Allister
Mac Alister is the best player in the Premier League and the world at this time. The Liverpool star moved from Brighton and immediately liked the squad that Klopp operated, helping him have a flying season with The Kop.
9. Right wing striker B. Saka – Arsenal
Even though he is young, Saka’s speed, finishing, physicality, ability to pressure, and defensive support last season were all good. He became the key for Arsenal to solve deadlocked matches when he was only 22 years old.
10. Left winger Cold Palmer
The best player in the Premier League in the left wing position has 16 goals and became the Blues’ top scorer. The British talent is showing his ability to adapt to the top football environment extremely well, even though Chelsea this season has not been too impressive.
11. Center striker E.Haaland – Man City
The PFA award was presented on May 25. It’s no surprise that E. Haaland surpassed teammate De Bruyne and competitors like Odegaard, Kane, Rashford, etc. to get the title of best player in the Premier League. PFA (British Professional Footballers’ Association) announced this award, but the name was almost immediately revealed at the beginning of the season.
