Without the players, what would the beautiful game be? Not only do the EPL players provide tons of entertainment on and off the field with their jaw-dropping moves and god-like speed, but they also provide ample opportunity for the punters. So, who are you going to be riding your bets on this coming season?
When betting, make sure you’re keeping up-to-date with tips on the latest English Premier League games on sites like Neds to stay in the loop. But as far as players go, you’d be good to hang around as here are the ones we’d suggest you keep tabs on placed in no particular order.
Virgil van Dijk
It’s arguable that Virgil van Dijk hasn’t really been the flashiest of players in the EPL, but what does make him stand out is his consistency and drive. Even a knee surgery couldn’t keep Liverpool’s captain down for long, and he will remain one of the best centre-halves ever to grace the EPL League.
Son Heung-min
Next on the list is Tottenham’s Mr Nice Guy, Son Heung-min – the footballer who always seems to keep his opponents on edge and is outrightly one of the most gifted players on the field. We wouldn’t be surprised to see Son take Tottenham to the next level in the upcoming season. And as one of the top-scorers, we’d say there’s more than one bet you could place on him.
Bukayo Saka
A player that’s hot on the tails of Mr Nice Guy is Arsenal’s right-winger, Bukayo Saka. The fresh 22-year-old, Saka, shows he’s not playing around on the field as he has already made over 150 league appearances for the Gunners and has definitely played a part in helping turn them into the team to watch over the past few years. What makes Saka such a winner? All you have to do is look at his consistency in racking up goals and assists to get your answer.
William Saliba
William Saliba makes it onto the list! The defender has the pace and endurance to fend off any striker. Yes, we’re aware we have yet another centre-half, but he’s a defender who has been and will continue to dominate the Premier League. Point and case…don’t you find it interesting that Arsenal’s Premier League title charge faded away in the 2022-23 season just as Saliba suffered a long-term injury? Coincidence? We think not!
Declan Rice
Ever since joining Arsenal, Declan Rice seems to have found a way to take the team to new heights while consistently adding goals and assists to his repertoire. We can confidently say he is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League at the moment.
And a bright future still awaits the 25-year-old, who looks set to be England’s future Captain.
Rodri
What you want to see in a great player is exactly what Rodri brings to every match—a keen eye for opportunity, the ability to provide solid security, and the willingness to push forward. The Spaniard’s high-risk approach often affords Manchester City high rewards, and this makes him an invaluable player, and he’s finally getting the credit he deserves.
Phil Foden
It’s one thing to win almost every major trophy in the 2022-23 season, but it’s another thing altogether to inspire fans to create a chant about you to Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark”. There’s no doubt that Foden is nothing less than a force to be reckoned with, regardless of which side of the field he’s playing. To think he’s not even in his prime yet!
Erling Haaland
Erling Haaland, otherwise known as ‘The Terminator’, is a player you can count on to deliver goals and assists, not just because of his sheer speed and strength but his intellectual approach to the game.
This skill means that every move is calculated, almost robotic (hence the nickname), and once he commits a goal, he is certainly quick to follow. If there was a player to bet on, Haaland has definitely made some bettors happy, especially when he wrecked the Premier League goalscoring statistics.
Viktor Gyokeres
Viktor Gyokeres stands out for more than just his height because once he’s got the ball, the results are almost magical. The Swedish talent has developed rapidly over the past few seasons, which has made him one of Europe’s hottest properties, and rightfully so, because how many other players can say they’ve outscored Erling Haaland?
Final Thoughts
Before you know it, the 2024-25 English Premiere League will be upon us, and with it, the next season of punting your favourite team and players. So, keep an eye on these gifted footballers; they’re sure to be instrumental in their team’s EPL success.
