The most valuable Premier League XI for the 2022/2023 season comprises some of the most sought-after players in the world and the players are mostly spread across the top six teams in the league.
Let’s find out who they are:
Goalkeepers
Alisson Becker
The Brazilian shot-stopper is one of the most valuable Premier League XI players for the coming 2022-2023 season.
The trusted custodian between the sticks is a modern goalkeeper who excels as a shot-stopper and is good with the ball at his feet.
The modern trend is for attacks to begin from the back, and Becker excels here. Still, this does not mitigate his primary duty of not allowing the opposition to beat him between the posts.
Since making his move from AS Roma for the then record fee for a goalkeeper, Beck has been spectacular in the league, wooing fans and neutrals alike.
Defenders
Trent Alexander-Arnold
The Liverpool Academy graduate is known for his deadball specialty – an integral part of Liverpool’s setup. His ingenious style of play sets the tempo in which the whole team plays.
Rúben Dias
The Portuguese defender has been spectacular since moving from Benfica in a mouth-watering deal of €68 million in the Premier League 2020/2021 season.
Dias made an immediate impact on Manchester City’s defense and has been the mainstay in Pep Guardiola’s team.
Virgil van Dijk
Van Dijk can be considered a late bloomer, but that takes nothing away from this imposing and spectacular defender.
He’s not known for his pace, but his intelligent reading of the game and making out worthy tackles when required always stand him out.
Van Dijk is a vocal leader and, no matter his defensive partner, he always commands the area, shutting down the opposition before they pull the trigger.
Andrew Robertson/João Cancelo
Robertson and Concelo are both similar in their styles of play. Both are defensively conscious, and they can be devastating in the final third, either by setting up their teammates or going for goals themselves.
Midfielders
Declan Rice/Rodri
Rice and Rodri can be considered the best defensive midfielders in the league. Both players are hardworking and energetic, making the transition from defense to attack easier.
Rice’s talent has turned the heads of the elites, and it wouldn’t be long before the former Chelsea academy graduates seeks a different challenge.
Phil Foden
Foden is a superb English talent who has broken into a star-studded Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. He has made his transition from the youth ranks to the first team look seamless.
But we are sure no one can be fooled by how easy he makes it look, having an impact on the general play of an elite European club like City every week. All this is a testament to his talent and tactical awareness.
Kevin De Bruyne/Bruno Fernandes
De Bruyne and Fernandes have set the league alight. De Bruyne has been a perennial performer in the blue part of Manchester, while Fernandes is marshaling his own charge in the red part of the same city.
Both are extremely talented, making immense contributions in both assists and converting chances.
Attackers
Mohamed Salah
Since his arrival to the Kop from Roma, Salah is one of the deadliest attackers of the ball in the Premier League. The Egyptian has terrorized defenses across England and has a stellar reputation in Europe due to the five years he played for Liverpool.
Harry Kane
Harry Kane needs no introduction. He’s a spectacular footballer who has regularly graced our screens.
Kane has always done a fantastic job, either by scoring goals or generally bringing his teammates into play and helping the team.
Erling Haaland
Dubbed the most talented young striker in global football. This is a bargain buy for Manchester City, and we are looking forward to the impact he will create.
This might be his maiden season in the Premier League, but we all know the Norwegian will exceed our expectations.
