5 Premier League wingers who have flopped miserably this season

Premier League fans have lamented the down turn in individual quality and wing play this season, and these five players have fed into that narrative with horrendous 2025/26 seasons. Kaoru Mitoma, Brighton Remember when Kaoru Mitoma was the Khvicha Kvaratskhelia of the Premier League? The Japanese international was not but a sensation a couple of years ago, and now he is an absolute ghost for Brighton who can barely pose a threat to the opposition keeper. He was getting links to Barcelona, for goodness sakes, and now he is nowhere near a top five player on his own team. Mohamed Salah, Liverpool Obviously, the biggest flop among the Premier League wingers is Mohamed Salah, who went from being the best player in the league during the 2024/25 season to being a liability for Liverpool. And ...

3 teams that should be begging to sign Pedro Neto

Chelsea right winger Pedro Neto is a quality Premier League forward, and while he does not fit the high standards the Blues want as Premier League title hopefuls, he would make a ton of sense for several other notable teams around Europe. Here are three sides that should pick up the phone and call Chelsea about the former Wolves star's availability this summer. Atletico Madrid Pedro Neto is best off in a 4-3-3 as a right winger and Atletico Madrid play a 4-4-2, but Diego Simeone is flexible enough to utilize both formations and could have some use for Neto as an attacking option. He has Nico Gonzalez and the well rounded Giuliano Simeone as his favored - and scrappy - option, but Atleti do need a guy who can be a bulldog on the ball with the skill to make magic happen. Nico has the sk...

5 players who have embarrassed the Premier League in this Champions League season

Rumors of the Premier League's demise are way off base, but it is true that a few big Premier League clubs have been a bit disappointing in the Champions League this year. Here are five individual players who have been flopping in the 2025/26 UCL campaign; four of them have been eliminated already. Newcastle CM Jacob Ramsey Jacob Ramsey definitely had a Champions League season to forget, and he is one of a few players who were miserably poor in Newcastle United's humbling 7-2 defeat to Barcelona in the decisive 7-2 defeat at the Spotify Camp Nou. The 24 year old center midfielder undermined what was actually a great defensive campaign with a disasterclass of a performance, gifting a goal to Raphinha. But the real issue in that game and overall was Ramsey's inability to help the team i...

2025/26 Premier League season picks, score predictions for Matchday 31

Matchday 31 of the 2025/26 Premier League season is upon us. Here are score predictions for every game in the English top flight this weekend. Bournemouth 1-2 Manchester United Bournemouth are one of the toughest teams for the big clubs in the Premier League to face, and with players like Junior Eli Kroupi breaking out and making the most of their chances in front of goal, the Red Devils are going to be in for a tough matchup on the road. But Manchester United are also dangerous under Michael Carrick, and though they are far from perfect, the way they are playing with Benjamin Sesko now firing on all cylinders gives them a great equalizer, too. The margin for error is slim, but Man United will do enough for the win. Brighton 2-2 Liverpool Liverpool look like a completely different t...

5 players who tanked their stock with nightmare Champions League Round of 16 performances

The Champions League Round of 16 is officially in the books, but the fallout from the biggest club tournament in world football has not been fully digested yet. Here are five players who were so poor in the second leg of the tournament that fans are having new doubts about them. Chelsea CB Mamadou Sarr To be honest, Chelsea fans were already having doubts about Mamadou Sarr. He's only getting starts because the rest of the Chelsea center backs have been so underwhelming this season, but he was so horrendous in the latest loss to PSG that maybe Blues fans will appreciate Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile a little bit more in comparison. Out of all the underwhelming center backs on this team, Sarr is the worst. He almost never wins possession for this team, and his passive playing sty...

Manchester United fans get crucial Sandro Tonali transfer news

The Sandro Tonali transfer saga is going to be one of the biggest stories of the Premier League transfer window this summer, as rivals Arsenal and Manchester United are pushing hard for the Newcastle United star as a dream signing. Manchester United have by far the biggest need for Tonali's profile, as he is the sort of athlete and playmaker who can be a center piece player for a midfield that lacks a top class player in his prime. According to a report from transfer insider Christopher Michel, Manchester United are now "seriously working" on a move for Tonali, and while that is huge for United fans to hear, the bigger part of the report is Michel's info that Tonali himself is "apparently quite open" to moving to Old Trafford. Michel further adds that he has heard Manchester Unite...

Ranking the 10 best teenagers in the Premier League right now

The young talents coming up in the Premier League are getting better and better despite all the talk of the decline in overall quality. Here are the 10 best teenagers you need to know right now. 10. Mateus Mane, Wolves 18 year old midfielder Mateus Mane is drawing rave reviews and transfer interest from several Big Six clubs. He is a raw talent but has serious upside with his quality on the ball and ability to progress play, standing out among his peers with three dribbles completed and fouls drawn per game. 9. Ayden Heaven, Manchester United It isn't easy for young center backs to get a crack, and Ayden Heaven is being eased along by Manchester United. But he is so good that many Red Devils supporters feel he has the same upside, if not more, than another young phenom in Leny Yoro. 8...

2025/26 Premier League Player of the Season Power Rankings after Matchday 30

Who has been the best player of the 2025/26 Premier League season thus far? After 30 Matchdays played, it's time to rank the top five, accounting for players at all positions. 5. Newcastle CM Bruno Guimaraes Antoine Semenyo was fabulous for Bournemouth and is scoring goals for Manchester City, but, in all honesty, Newcastle's metronome Bruno Guimaraes has been even more impressive. Even though he is an all arounder with 2.2 tackles per game and 2.3 fouls drawn per match, the workhorse Brazilian has still been exceptional creatively with four assists and 1.7 key passes per game while scoring nine goals. There is nothing this man cannot do for Newcastle. 4. Arsenal CB Gabriel Magalhaes By far the best center back in a league filled with great center backs, including quite a few on his...

2026 Champions League picks, score predictions for Round of 16 second leg

The Champions League Round of 16 definitely delivered on the drama and the goals in the first leg, and the second leg promises to be even better. Here are the full score predictions for each of the eight games. Chelsea 2-2 PSG Chelsea will rue Liam Rosenior's decision to give Filip Jorgensen the nod, and the most laughable part of that whole ordeal is that the manager's reasoning was that Jorgensen would be better on the ball. Whoops. At home, Chelsea will have a point to prove and will go into this game with no fear, but they just do not have the quality to turn the tie around against a PSG side that is finally starting to play to its talent level when it matters most. Liverpool 2-1 Galatasaray Trips to Istanbul are never easy, and while Liverpool have major issues with their squad...

2025/26 Premier League Season Picks, Score Predictions for every Matchday 30 fixture

Another week of action is coming up in the 2025/26 Premier League season. Here are the score predictions for every single Matchday 30 game this weekend. Burnley 0-1 Bournemouth Sunderland 1-1 Brighton Chelsea 2-2 Newcastle Chelsea are reeling after Filip Jorgensen gifted PSG a 5-2 win in the Champions League, while Newcastle could only draw Barcelona despite outplaying them. This matchup is going to be too close to call between these two top five contenders in the Premier League, and they will ultimately share the spoils. One of the biggest questions heading into this game is now Chelsea's goalkeeper. Liam Rosenior seems to be set on Jorgensen as the No. 1 despite a horrendous performance againt PSG. Can he bounce back? Arsenal 1-0 Everton Arsenal did not perform well against Baye...
