Nottingham Forest had just beaten West Ham to open up a seven-point gap between the two sides, while at the top, Arsenal were six points clear of Manchester City. The fear was it could be a procession until May, with very little changing in the positions in the table that really mattered. By mid-February though, West Ham and Manchester City had narrowed those respective gaps to remind us once more that nothing is ever certain in the Premier League, before we reach the business end of the season in April and May. In this issue of the magazine, we celebrate the footballers who make the English top flight the exciting and unpredictable league it is, as we rank the very best 50 players of the 2025-26 campaign. There will be those who say that it’s always the same players in the list every year, but think again. Of last year’s top 10, only three even make the top 50 this time around, such has been the emergence of new stars from Aston Villa, Brentford, Sunderland and Fulham, to name just a few. Of course, if you don’t agree with our list, then jump on social media and tell us what we’ve got wrong, but make sure you use #FFTPL50. The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week. Enjoy the mag, and the twists and turns during the season’s run-in. James
