The start of 2025 marks just about the halfway point of the 24/25 Premier League season, and what a season it has been thus far.
We have been blessed with some riveting narratives, including huge managerial switches and unlikely suspects battling it out for the European spots.
Currently in 6th place, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City have experienced an unthinkable regression.
At the same time, Premier League newcomer Arne Slot has surprised all pundits by instantly adjusting to the pace of English football.
Consequently, he has guided his new Liverpool side to the top spot at Christmas.
The current bottom three of the Premier League comprise of all the newly promoted teams from the EFL Championship last season.
Ipswich Town, Southampton and Leicester further accentuate just how difficult the jump is from the second tier, even for previous Premier League champions.
In addition, the usual ‘Big 6’ candidates like Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United have struggled for form, allowing Fulham, Bournemouth, and Nottingham Forest to flex their technical abilities in pursuit of a top-half finish.
With this in mind, we thought it would be interesting to do a Premier League Team of the Season So Far data analysis to highlight 11 players who have been the most impactful after the opening 19 matches.
The following team features a mixture of Premier League superstars alongside some more underappreciated figures who have certainly elevated their game throughout the current campaign.
While the following team is by no means set in stone, it gives us a great indication of which players have shone based on a data-driven approach to quantifying their success.
We will revisit this squad at the end of the 2024/2025 Premier League season and see if anything has changed.
