Bruno Fernandes has been rubbish and Martin Odegaard's off it. Here are 10 Premier League players who starred last season but not in 2024/2025.
To be clear, we’re aware that we’re just three Premier League games into the new season, and to be clearer still, the players on this list have been included because they were brilliant last term.
And while it’s a small sample size, at some point you’ve got to wonder whether a stiffening of their soft centre, which is hampering Fernandes’ ability to create chances.having been unplayable at times last season, including against Arsenal, whom he could and should have put to the sword again last month.
But there’s only so long that Unai Emery will persist with a striker not scoring goals when the alternative bangs them in any chance he gets.
But Mateta’s returned to his pre-Glasner ways this season, managing just two shots in over 200 minutes of Premier League action, though his brace and an assist against Norwich in the Carabao Cup at least offers hope of better things to come.He’s just been nominated for the Yashin Trophy and quite reasonably given his hand in helping Argentina to the Copa America and Aston Villa to the Champions League.
They’re now in the relegation zone with the second-worst goal difference in the top flight and Hwang is yet to have a shot.So good last season that there was a genuine debate to be had over whether him or Kevin De Bruyne was the better playmaker. Most who aren’t Arsenal fans would still have sided with quite possibly the best the Premier League has ever seen, but each to their own, and the point is that Odegaard was in that conversation.
He made that terrible error against Tottenham and while the ropey players in front of him have been largely culpable for the 10 goals they’ve conceded in three games, he’s hardly been the commanding presence in his box that we were accustomed to seeing last season.There are often gaping holes behind him in defence, which is a by-product of the Ange Postecoglou way and would be excusable if he was offering anything on the front foot, but he’s just not.
