Liverpool is my favourite team, and so here’s a fun thing I thought I’d do that I’ve seen others do on TikTok.
Arsenal: Bukayo Saka
Phenomenal young player, and has really shone in the past few games for Arsenal.
Aston Villa: Jacob Ramsey
I could have gone for Coutinho here, or Martinez, but I went for Ramsey because he is a fantastic player. He may not always score, but he is consistently good at what he does, both for Villa and the England Under 21s. Long due for a call up to the senior team.
Brentford: Ivan Toney
What a player this guy is. Without a doubt one of the best penalty takers in the league.
Brighton: Adam Lallana
This is slightly for nostalgic reasons, but he’s the only player that really came to mind.
Burnley: Maxwel Cornet
He’s done rather well for his club despite only arriving in the summer transfer window.
Chelsea: N’Golo Kanté
One of the nicest guys in the league, both on and off the pitch. He brings a certain joy to football, and is – on a good day – one of the best players Chelsea have got. This was probably one of the tougher choices (I nearly said Ben Chilwell or Mason Mount).
Crystal Palace: Wilfried Zaha
Superb player, one of the best this season for Palace.
Everton: Dominic Calvert-Lewin
As a Liverpool fan, it took me so long to think of someone to take from the Toffees. But I ultimately went with Calvert-Lewin because despite past actions of his in a Merseyside derby, he has proven to be a good player for Everton.
Leeds: Kalvin Phillips
When he is in prime condition, he is a force to be reckoned with in the midfield. He deserves a club bigger than Leeds.
Leicester: James Maddison or Kasper Schmeichel
This was easily the toughest one (closely followed by Chelsea). Maddison has been absolutely sensational as of late, and although there has been a slight drop in form recently, Schmeichel is still a very good goalkeeper.
Manchester City: Kevin De Bruyne
This was so easy. I chose Kevin De Bruyne because he is the best player City have got right now. A very good player, and has produced some wonderful goals or created some.
Manchester United: Marcus Rashford
Another very easy choice. I could have gone for Ronaldo, but went for Rashford because although he hasn’t been performing at the level we’re used to seeing from him lately, he has provided some crucial goals when the time has arisen.
Newcastle United: Allan Saint-Maximin
Great player, and a personality to match.
Norwich: Teemu Pukki
A very good player, Norwich would have less points than they do if it weren’t for him.
Southampton: James Ward-Prowse
As with Manchester City, this was an easy decision. I went with Ward-Prowse because he is a brilliant player and is perhaps the best free kick taker in the Premier League.
Tottenham Hotspur: Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min
You can’t have one without the other. The best upfront duo in the league right now.
Watford: Ismaïla Sarr
He has scored some very good goals this season. Look at his performance on the first game of the season against Villa, for example.
West Ham: Declan Rice
Very skilled player, and has proven himself on more than one occasion.
Wolves: José Sá
Easily one of the top five goalkeepers for this season. Superb shot stopper.
