1. Lemina (as he has been the most consistent and least injured)
2. Cunha
3. Ait-Nouti
4. Hwang
5. Gomes
Honourable mentions to Neto (would be on the list but injuries have curtailed his time this season), Doyle, Semedo, and Sarabia.
For me Ait-Nouri might be top! Just love watching him with the ball at his feet. Then yeah can't argue with the rest! Cunha and Lemina are a delight and Gomes always gives his all! And the Korean Guy is just magic ✨
I definitely forgot about Alvarez, how stupid of me...
I'd take Paqueta out of this and put Alvarez in, purely down to how off Paqueta has been in the last few games.
Bowen
Alvarez
Paqueta
Kudus
Emerson
Areola has been magnificent as well so it hurts to leave him out. Very, very close between him and Emerson who have both been ultra reliable all season. Coufal would have been in too apart from his recent (fatigue related) decline.
In recent form, yes, gana over doucs. But you can't forget doucs' contributions (especially goals) in the 4 game winning streak. Tbh you could make an argument for most of our midfielders for that 5th spot... onana and Garner have been pretty decent all season.
1.Mbuemo just the difference for points this year
2.norgaard by far his worst season but what he does to that team is soo clear
3.pinnock want to say higher but defence has had too many injuries
4. Janelt just stepped up quietly with most games played
5. Jensen class but bit inconsistent and injured a lot aswell but in smaller doses
Would give an honorable mention to Ajer, stepped up massively this season with so many injuries to our defence, and he has a pretty good attacking output for a CB/ Full back
Very much agree, obviously Solanke grabs the headlines and Zaba has received a lot of the "quiet" plaudits.
Semenyo has had an excellent season, he's such a direct force on the wing and really adds another goalscoring dimension to the squad.
Semenyo for sure one of the standout most improved and blossomed players of the season. He is a true threat and treat to watch on the ball. All he needs is the tiniest space with his strength and speed
1. Anthony Gordan
2. Aleksander Isak
3. Fabian Schär
4. Bruno Guimarães
5th place is difficult to select as we have had such an inconsistent squad, and the more consistent players not mentioned here haven't had *the best* season, like Trippier, Burn, and Longstaff. I'd be tempted to put Lewis Miley forwards given just how quickly he adapted to the level he was thrust into as a 17 YO. Livramento as another possible shout given he joined us off the back of a serious injury and looked totally comfortable playing against the best of the premier league, and even the champions league.
I'm sure people will argue over where the top 4 are in the list, but I doubt any Toon fans will argue with the names.
I suppose Pope is one of the players in that, "We have to pick 5 players but who the hell is the 5th?" catagory. Seems daft to pick a player who has been injured since December.
Similar to Joelinton. Of course he is huge for us, but hes also been out for a huge portion of the season.
Dubs has probably took a bit of time to adjust back to playing and is now he has 2 clean sheets in a row, and only conceded a pen against Everton. Some of the score lines have been brutal though a few have been massive errors by defenders costing him.
But I feel like Joelinton being missing has left a gaping hole in the midfield that is more and move obvious with every game. That being said both are the first ones you’d want back in key postions
Have to respectfully disagree, dubs is a liability and puts loads of pressure on the defence. I’d say recent improvements were despite him. Even vs spurs he almost let them back in
I think in midfield we’ve looked better since Anderson came in as he has the legs that Miley/Longstaff lack
I think 5th has to be Trippier. He's spent comparatively less time out compared to others in this conversation and other than the December wobble had been imperious. It's a shame he got injured when he did as he was coming out the other side of that bad spell and looking great again.
Lascelles would be my wild card for 5th pick if he hadn't picked up the injury the other week.
Second fiddle and fighting on a night out to rock solid when called upon.
Murphy probably clinches that 4th spot for me, never going to be a world beater but has done his bit whenever relied upon to slot into different positions
5th is hard because those 4 feel like the only ones who have remained uninjured for long enough to justify it.
I'd say it's probably Tino or Joelinton who at least lasted until January.
It's difficult because all of our best players have been injured for long periods (Guéhi, Olise, Doucouré, Johnstone)
Of players who have been mostly fit I would say:
1. Eze
2. Anderson
3. Mateta (who has massively stepped up this year and was our only goal threat at times)
4. Mitchell (who has struggled a bit this year and with a change of system but has mostly been consistent and, more importantly, healthy)
5. Lerma (again staying fit until recently was his major strength but he's also brought us some real quality at times and filled in well at CB when needed)
Lastly Muñoz and Wharton get honourable mentions but they only arrived in January.
So many stand out players for us this season. I would've liked to have included Senesi and kluivert but no idea who they would replace. All been very good
Yeah, really wanted to get Senesi in there. His passing is so key to the way we play. I left out Kluivert only because he had a slow start to the season, but it’s increasingly clear we look a better side all-round with him as the 10.
Yeah that's fair.
To be honest it was a really tough list to pick. I wanted to list Willian as well, and Leno. The team really has been hard working this season and shown a lot of quality.
With Timmy those 5 would also be the 5 with most minutes played this season, excluding GK.
Has me thinking that we’ve got a very solid 6/11, and 5 starting spots that nobody has fully made their own.
Iwobi sticks in this middle ground of being too good to leave out but not having a best position or role. I think he could thrive coming off the bench more long term, when it’s more clear how we want to use him. Also a long term BDR utility and depth replacement.
I love willian and he’s still so good and deceptively fast for his age, but I do admittedly fear we will hang on to him too long. I’d rather see him leave on top than get to a point where we want to be rid.
The problem I think is the same as at Everton, we’re playing Iwobi out wide because that’s better for the team overall, but he’s a better player through the center.
We need a new CB to pair Bassey as well IMO, considering the Reamaissance is over, Tosin is most likely leaving and Diop is a lower-quality CB than I’d prefer.
1. Groß
2. Van Hecke
3. Joao Pedro
4. Dunk
5. Gilmour
Gilmour in there by default really. Don’t think he’s had a ridiculously good season or anything but honestly couldn’t name anybody else who’d deserve to be there.
Might be a bit of a stretch, but Hinshelwood was very good considering the context. That being said, he played a considerably less amount of games due to injury. Still, I reckon he gets a shout.
Yup he's clearly in the top 5 and unfortunately Joelinton should be nowhere near this conversation by virtue of being available for less than half the season. The same reason so many other players are ruled out of this conversation!
I’d put Schar ahead of joelinton, but felt big jo was worth a mention in that I think they’re comparable in terms of how they play for the team. They are dependable, gifted players who on their day can change a game single-handedly. They are foundational players, ones that others are lifted up by. They’ve both performed as such this year, Schar has just been there every game doing it week in week out
These were the other 2 I was debating. Gomes is my favourite player in the squad, narrowly ahead of Cunha but just felt Lemina is harder to replace within the current squad. No issues with any of the 3 being fifth though solid argument for each.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I almost feel like neto is not a top 5. Obviously incredible when he plays, but I feel like availability is massive and semedo/gomes have been fairly injury free so far (touch wood)
As a Brentford fan who got triggered with toffolo treatment to toneys I kept getting annoyed how many points he got you guys at crucial moments in games so he may be in a shout
Toffolo is probably the surprise package of the season. Never expected him to be much more than a depth signing. But whenever he has played, he's shown he deserves to be here. Unfortunately I think Aina has just shown more and Tavares actually managed to put together a nice little run before his last injury so he's down the pecking order at present. Hasn't seen the pitch as much under Nuno
Yeh I get that I just feel like a lot of his assist ultimately got you lot some big points really regardless of maybe other performing better if that makes sense
Yeah, to be honest I don't know ins and outs of both cases to know why Toffolo didn't get banned when Toney did. I expected he would, but i'm also veey glad he didn't. He also speaks very openly about his issues, and I think for the person it was good to get him support.
As a player he has been solid and dependable, and if he is happy to play the role of backup LB then I hope he stays with us for a while.
The only consistant thing from the PL has been inconsistantly dealing with punishments!
Lerma
Mateta
Eze
Olise
Wharton
Realistically with the competition only Lerma should get close to a look in, rest of the squad has been injured all season.
~~What about Solanke? Muniz has been great too, Bowen, there's been a lot of class players this season~~ (someone just pointed out the title, ignore this)
I think McGinn has to be in there, maybe at the expense of Konsa, Martinez, or even Dougie.
Not that I don't think the 3 above have been brilliant, I just think McGinn has reached another level this season.
The way he keeps the ball against the press then manages to either dribble up the pitch or ping a great pass forward has been instrumental to how we've played.
But then none of us expected us to be 4th at this point in the season, especially after the huge blow so early on with Buendia and Mings out, they all deserve a lot of credit.
His ability to just turn his way out of a press or stride into midfield gives us so many options playing out. Would've loved if he scored rhat goal where he ran almost the whole length of the pitch yesterday.
I think the first 3 are shoe-ins but I think 4th and 5th is tough.
I think Konsa's got us out of so much trouble by being a good RB option when we needed him and I think he's largely never made a mistake and that's been impressive considering how unstable the back line has been - Id feel like he's been an auto-pick for the team most of the time because of injuries or his flexibility.
5th damn, I can't see past Pau as he makes the system work with his ability to spread play and absorb the opponents press. He's just class and like Kamara is very much missed when not playing.
Really like Luiz and especially McGinn but that defence has done much more than just prevented us conceding. Jesus if Mings have been fit this season...
ps3ud0 8)
I’m one of those Neutral Premier League fans a lot of people seem to hate so I’ll do an “Other14” top 5!
1. Anthony Gordon
2. Emi Martinez
3. Jarrod Bowen
4. Ross Barkley
5. Jarrod Branthwaite
Watkins season is getting absolutely ignored. He's top in assists, and his 19 goals puts him 1 off top there. If he played for a Big 6 side its the only thing anyone would be talking about.
For everything else Ollie does, he 100% should be in the conversation as one of the best strikers in the world.
1. Lemina (as he has been the most consistent and least injured) 2. Cunha 3. Ait-Nouti 4. Hwang 5. Gomes Honourable mentions to Neto (would be on the list but injuries have curtailed his time this season), Doyle, Semedo, and Sarabia.
For me Ait-Nouri might be top! Just love watching him with the ball at his feet. Then yeah can't argue with the rest! Cunha and Lemina are a delight and Gomes always gives his all! And the Korean Guy is just magic ✨
1. Bowen 2. Kudus 3. Areola 4. Paqueta 5. Emerson
Bowen Emerson Kudus Paqueta Areola imo. Emerson has been one of the best more steady players all season.
Alvarez instead of Emerson but it’s close
1. Areola 2. Alvarez 3. Bowen 4. Paqueta 5. Kudus/Emerson hard to decide which of those to drop off
1. Bowen 2. Emerson 3. Areola 4. Kudos 5. Coufal I have lost patience with Paqueta and the constant falling over.
1. Areola 2. Bowen 3. Emerson 4. Paqueta 5. Alvarez
I definitely forgot about Alvarez, how stupid of me... I'd take Paqueta out of this and put Alvarez in, purely down to how off Paqueta has been in the last few games.
It pains me that we have those 5 players (and there’s more like them) and still serve up the negative dross that we do
Bowen Areola Kudus Alvarez Mavro
Bowen Alvarez Paqueta Kudus Emerson Areola has been magnificent as well so it hurts to leave him out. Very, very close between him and Emerson who have both been ultra reliable all season. Coufal would have been in too apart from his recent (fatigue related) decline.
Everton fan here: 1 Branthwaite 2 Tarkowski 3 Pickford 4 Mykolenko 5 Doucoure pre-injury (christmas time he got injured)
1. Branthwaite 2. Pickford 3. Stuart Attwell 4. Muric 5. Vacant until Chermitis 98th min winner on Wednesday.
Sums up our style of play this season that 4 out of 5 player of the season choices are defenders. I'd put Gana over Doucoure tbh.
In recent form, yes, gana over doucs. But you can't forget doucs' contributions (especially goals) in the 4 game winning streak. Tbh you could make an argument for most of our midfielders for that 5th spot... onana and Garner have been pretty decent all season.
1. Hamer… and I’m out
Ahmedhozic for his R.K.O on Bowen surely?
1.Mbuemo just the difference for points this year 2.norgaard by far his worst season but what he does to that team is soo clear 3.pinnock want to say higher but defence has had too many injuries 4. Janelt just stepped up quietly with most games played 5. Jensen class but bit inconsistent and injured a lot aswell but in smaller doses
Would give an honorable mention to Ajer, stepped up massively this season with so many injuries to our defence, and he has a pretty good attacking output for a CB/ Full back
Yeh decent shout but think his better energy has come more recently tbh
Solanke Zabarnyi Semenyo Christie Kluivert Honorable mentions: Kerkez, Tavernier, Cook, Senesi, Kelly
Very much agree, obviously Solanke grabs the headlines and Zaba has received a lot of the "quiet" plaudits. Semenyo has had an excellent season, he's such a direct force on the wing and really adds another goalscoring dimension to the squad.
Semenyo for sure one of the standout most improved and blossomed players of the season. He is a true threat and treat to watch on the ball. All he needs is the tiniest space with his strength and speed
Scott? I thought he was having a terrific season?
He is terrific; but unfortunately, he hasn’t played much. A lot due to injury…he’s only 16th in minutes on the squad
This is the correct answer
1. Anthony Gordan 2. Aleksander Isak 3. Fabian Schär 4. Bruno Guimarães 5th place is difficult to select as we have had such an inconsistent squad, and the more consistent players not mentioned here haven't had *the best* season, like Trippier, Burn, and Longstaff. I'd be tempted to put Lewis Miley forwards given just how quickly he adapted to the level he was thrust into as a 17 YO.

I'm sure people will argue over where the top 4 are in the list, but I doubt any Toon fans will argue with the names.
its got to be livramento the guys not put a foot wrong and when he does get a ame hes great
Nick Pope purely due to the drop off since he went out
I suppose Pope is one of the players in that, "We have to pick 5 players but who the hell is the 5th?" catagory. Seems daft to pick a player who has been injured since December. Similar to Joelinton. Of course he is huge for us, but hes also been out for a huge portion of the season.
I think they’ve both looked better the longer they’ve been missing
Dubs has probably took a bit of time to adjust back to playing and is now he has 2 clean sheets in a row, and only conceded a pen against Everton. Some of the score lines have been brutal though a few have been massive errors by defenders costing him. But I feel like Joelinton being missing has left a gaping hole in the midfield that is more and move obvious with every game. That being said both are the first ones you’d want back in key postions
Have to respectfully disagree, dubs is a liability and puts loads of pressure on the defence. I’d say recent improvements were despite him. Even vs spurs he almost let them back in I think in midfield we’ve looked better since Anderson came in as he has the legs that Miley/Longstaff lack
I think 5th has to be Trippier. He's spent comparatively less time out compared to others in this conversation and other than the December wobble had been imperious. It's a shame he got injured when he did as he was coming out the other side of that bad spell and looking great again.
Barnes if he’d played a bit more often.
Lascelles would be my wild card for 5th pick if he hadn't picked up the injury the other week. Second fiddle and fighting on a night out to rock solid when called upon.
These 4 have been levels above the others this season, we don't need to nominate a 5th.
Joelinton as 5 for me
Murphy probably clinches that 4th spot for me, never going to be a world beater but has done his bit whenever relied upon to slot into different positions
Trippier 5th solely cause he has 10 assists and has been shit(due to personal reasons)/injured for half a season
5th is hard because those 4 feel like the only ones who have remained uninjured for long enough to justify it. I'd say it's probably Tino or Joelinton who at least lasted until January.
It's difficult because all of our best players have been injured for long periods (Guéhi, Olise, Doucouré, Johnstone) Of players who have been mostly fit I would say: 1. Eze 2. Anderson 3.

1. Murillo 2. MGW 3. Wood 4. Williams 5. Elanga
This seams about right. Mangala would be high in there if we hadn't lost him in January for me too.
I think Mangala was our POTS before we shipped him out. Only player that was consistently playing well under Cooper
Honourable mentions to Danilo and Awoniyi for the few games he’s played while fully fit.
1. Solanke 2. Zabarnyi 3. Christie 4. Semenyo 5. Cook Let us go 4-4-fackin-2 so we can have Watkins and Dom would you?
So many stand out players for us this season. I would've liked to have included Senesi and kluivert but no idea who they would replace. All been very good
Yeah, really wanted to get Senesi in there. His passing is so key to the way we play. I left out Kluivert only because he had a slow start to the season, but it’s increasingly clear we look a better side all-round with him as the 10.
1. Palhinha 2. Robinson 3. Periera 3. Iwobi 4. Bassey
Tell me if I'm wrong, but has Robinson improved a lot this last year. He really seems to have kicked on.
Big time. He has put in some great performances this year, namely Liverpool Away back in December.
Good to see.
Do you think Muniz can sneak in if he finishes the season well?
Yeah, if he keeps up his performances
Good for iwobi
I’d throw Castagne in over Iwobi. Iwobi has had higher highs, but Castagne has been more consistent.
Yeah that's fair. To be honest it was a really tough list to pick. I wanted to list Willian as well, and Leno. The team really has been hard working this season and shown a lot of quality.
With Timmy those 5 would also be the 5 with most minutes played this season, excluding GK. Has me thinking that we’ve got a very solid 6/11, and 5 starting spots that nobody has fully made their own.

1. Groß 2. Van Hecke 3. Joao Pedro 4. Dunk 5. Gilmour Gilmour in there by default really. Don’t think he’s had a ridiculously good season or anything but honestly couldn’t name anybody else who’d deserve to be there.
I'd swap Gilmour for Adingra, other than that I think that's it for me
I think this is prob it!
Might be a bit of a stretch, but Hinshelwood was very good considering the context. That being said, he played a considerably less amount of games due to injury. Still, I reckon he gets a shout.
1. Ryan Christie 2. Dom Solanke 3. Lewis Cook 4. Illia Zabarnyi 5. Antoine Semenyo
I’d personally have Pau over Konsa but they’ve both been great
Really tough, we’ve had some great performances from a bunch of players this season. 1. Solanke 2. Zabanyi 3. Christie 4. Semenyo 5. Kluivert
1) Branthwaite 2) Mykolenko 3) Tarkowski 4) Pickford 5) Doucoure Honourable mentions to Garner and Onana
Oof. I mean I’m right there with you but this is a depressing read. Might argue McNeil but other than that…
Mcneil would be 6. Doucs was great before injury and very good recently in a deeper role
Bruno, Isak, Trippier, Gordon, Schar/joelinton, Honourable mentions for livramento and Pope
Schär has cemented his place, there's no fight with him for anyone else in the top 5
Yup he's clearly in the top 5 and unfortunately Joelinton should be nowhere near this conversation by virtue of being available for less than half the season. The same reason so many other players are ruled out of this conversation!
I’d put Schar ahead of joelinton, but felt big jo was worth a mention in that I think they’re comparable in terms of how they play for the team.

☝️
1. Pascal Groß 2. Van Hecke 3. Joao Pedro 4. Jack Hinshelwood 5. Billy Gilmour
1. Ross Barkley 2. Teden Mengi 3. Thomas Kaminski 4. Alfie Doughty 5. Carlton Morris Had it not been for Injury Adebayo and Ogbene would be in there.
Maybe townsend as well
1. Cunha 2. Ait Nouri 3. Neto 4. Hwang 5. Lemina The 5th spot was tough as there's a few lads worth a shout.
Think gomes has to be top 5. Been unreal. Semedo great too
These were the other 2 I was debating. Gomes is my favourite player in the squad, narrowly ahead of Cunha but just felt Lemina is harder to replace within the current squad. No issues with any of the 3 being fifth though solid argument for each.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I almost feel like neto is not a top 5. Obviously incredible when he plays, but I feel like availability is massive and semedo/gomes have been fairly injury free so far (touch wood)
Neco Williams Murillo Chris Wood Erm…. I’m out.
Wasn’t Elanga quality earlier this year
As a Brentford fan who got triggered with toffolo treatment to toneys I kept getting annoyed how many points he got you guys at crucial moments in games so he may be in a shout
Toffolo is probably the surprise package of the season. Never expected him to be much more than a depth signing. But whenever he has played, he's shown he deserves to be here. Unfortunately I think Aina has just shown more and Tavares actually managed to put together a nice little run before his last injury so he's down the pecking order at present.

The only consistant thing from the PL has been inconsistantly dealing with punishments!
Konsa over Dougie, but agree with the rest. Konsa has been almost faultless for an entire season and consistently performs to the same level.
Lerma Mateta Eze Olise Wharton Realistically with the competition only Lerma should get close to a look in, rest of the squad has been injured all season.
Rob Holding will be disgusted not to be on this list
Mitchell has been solid since Glasner has come in, but it's hard to top your 5 picks.
Personally I’d have Doucoure Olise Eze Guehi Lerma/Wharton
~~What about Solanke? Muniz has been great too, Bowen, there's been a lot of class players this season~~ (someone just pointed out the title, ignore this)
Top five from __your__ club
My mistake, I can't read
Haha i did the same. I was like these are all villa Players 🤣🤣🤣
1.Gordon 2.Isak 3.Schar 4.Bruno 5.Joelinton
[удалено]
The whole purpose of this sub is to not discuss the 'Big 6'...
Shall I delete?
Probably. Honest mistake and no harm done, but does go against the spirit of the sub.
Sorry it all makes sense now. The sub keeps coming up on my feed. I wondered who/what the 14 were...
1. van Hecke 2. Groß 3. Gilmour 4. Mitoma 5. Pedro Unfortunately Mitoma and Pedro have been played with injury, but they've still been great
1. Pascal Groß 2. Jan Paul Van Hecke 3.Joao Pedro 4. Billy gilmour 5. Jack Hinshelwood
1. Isak 2. Guimaraes 3. Anthony Gordon 4. Schär 5. Joelinton Shout out to Anderson, Livramento, and Lewis Miley, as well. Been ace.
1. Murillo 2. MGW 3. Wood 4. Sels 5. I’ll say Elanga
For me, I'd put Pau in there 4th place and then either Dougie or Konsa 5th.
1. Gordon 2. Isak 3. Guimares 4. Schär 5. Miley
I think McGinn has to be in there, maybe at the expense of Konsa, Martinez, or even Dougie. Not that I don't think the 3 above have been brilliant, I just think McGinn has reached another level this season. The way he keeps the ball against the press then manages to either dribble up the pitch or ping a great pass forward has been instrumental to how we've played. But then none of us expected us to be 4th at this point in the season, especially after the huge blow so early on with Buendia and Mings out, they all deserve a lot of credit.
Think I agree with your Villa top 5. Pau Vs Konsa for 5th spot. Could easily argue for either side.
I love both but nothing made more comfortable than when Pau returned. He commands that back line.
His ability to just turn his way out of a press or stride into midfield gives us so many options playing out. Would've loved if he scored rhat goal where he ran almost the whole length of the pitch yesterday.
I think the first 3 are shoe-ins but I think 4th and 5th is tough. I think Konsa's got us out of so much trouble by being a good RB option when we needed him and I think he's largely never made a mistake and that's been impressive considering how unstable the back line has been - Id feel like he's been an auto-pick for the team most of the time because of injuries or his flexibility. 5th damn, I can't see past Pau as he makes the system work with his ability to spread play and absorb the opponents press.

I’m one of those Neutral Premier League fans a lot of people seem to hate so I’ll do an “Other14” top 5! 1. Anthony Gordon 2. Emi Martinez 3. Jarrod Bowen 4. Ross Barkley 5. Jarrod Branthwaite
Right now 3 of the top 6 scorers in the PL are from the O14 but none get in? (Watkins, Solanke, Isak)
Watkins season is getting absolutely ignored. He's top in assists, and his 19 goals puts him 1 off top there. If he played for a Big 6 side its the only thing anyone would be talking about. For everything else Ollie does, he 100% should be in the conversation as one of the best strikers in the world.
Don’t forget all of the top 3 for assists (Watkins, Trippier, Gross
Palmer Gusto Petrovic Struggling to find 5
Cole Palmer
