There are several players in the English Premier League with good performance but are yet to be recognized. We only see the known players getting all the praise while some others are the reason the team is succeeding. The most underrated football players in the premier league are what we are about to delve into.
The most underrated football players in Premier League
Below is our 5 man list of the most underrated football players in the premier league cutting across all teams.
1. Moises Caicedo (Chelsea)
Despite Chelsea’s poor start to the season in the 2023/24 campaign, the club were able to finish above Manchester United. All praise went straight to Cole Palmer who had 33 goal involvement for the blues that season.
Though the English International has started the 2024/25 campaign with good form scoring four goals against Brighton.
But the most underrated player at Chelsea is Moises Caicedo, he made 91 tackles for the blues in the 2023/24 season. He was also one of the players with the highest interception and possession won at Chelsea.
Because of his big money switch from Brighton to Chelsea, the fans had high expectations for the Ecuador International. Chelsea paid £100m to get him at Stamford Bridge, but he had few bad games when he arrived.
It is obvious he gets a better game without Enzo Fernandes with him in the midfield. Chelsea has conceded fewer goals than many clubs this season and we know Caicedo has been doing the dirty job.
During the 2024 Copa America we all saw his performance for his national team, his performance against Brazil was brilliant which shows how good he can be at Chelsea.
2. Ben White (Arsenal)
Arteta and Arsenal’s fine form recently has been remarkable, but the praises for the team’s good performance has always gone to players like Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard but we cannot talk about good impact without mentioning Ben White.
White has been instrumental for Arteta, despite being played out of wing Ben white has shown he is a utility player.
He was signed as a centre back player for Arsenal but currently plays as a right back player for Arteta.
His combined force with Bukayo Saka at the right wing makes Arsenal deadly at the right wing.
3. Enzri Konsa (Aston Villa)
Unai Emery has led Aston Villa qualified for Champions league after finishing fourth in the table last season. All thanks to Watkins who had a good run at Villa.
But we cannot talk about brilliant players for Aston Villa without mentioning Enzri Konsa. The English player is a full back player but was converted to right back.
Aston villa suffered series of injuries last campaign, which made Konsa played out of position all through the season.
He had more touch than any other Villa player and Konsa has the most accurate pass despite playing out of position.
4. Pascal Gross (Brighton)
It is quite unfortunate how nobody is talking about the German international player who plays for Brighton.
Pascal Gross has been a utility player since his arrival at the club, during the 2023/24 campaign, he had 10 assist which made him the third player with the highest assist in the English premier league.
32 years Pascal Gross created 100 chances for Brighton in the 2023/24 campaign. He became the second player with the highest chance created behind Bruno Fernandes.
It was just too unfortunate he is not being mentioned among the top players in the English Premier league.
5. Wataru Endo (Liverpool)
The Liverpool Japanese is one player we have been underrating, but Endo has found his way into the reds team with his brilliant performance.
The Japanese has never lost a game in his last 15 games for Liverpool, which makes him one player we need to watch out for in this 2024/25 campaign.
