The English Premier League remains the top football competition for a reason – it still entices the greatest players and teams of professionals in the game. 2024 was another year in which the great stars shone, and the teams, without the money to transfer them, found creative ways to get around their problems.
Who did you pick in Premier League fantasy football throughout the year? I have taken a look at the stats, and these are the greatest fantasy football players in the EPL, according to points accumulated in FootballCoin.
Team of the Year 2024 in the English Premier League
Goalkeeper
Mark Flekken (Brentford)
Mark Flekken’s great fantasy football stats are also a testament to Brentford’s ability to off-balance tougher opponents. Brentford has been overperforming for a while, and Flekken has been the heart of the team’s transformation into a strong EPL side.
Defenders
Josko Gvardiol (Manchester City)
Forget about the terrible performances of Manchester City over the last couple of months! Before that, the team was flying. And Josko Gvardiol was rightfully being viewed as one of Pep Guardiola’s greatest-ever transfers. The Croatian defender is a powerhouse and your best choice for EPL fantasy football.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s presence on the Team of the Year is practically guaranteed by now. While some have contested TAA’s defensive contributions, the stats paint a complete player capable of great passes, numerous assists and consistent performances.
Antonee Robinson (Fulham)
Antonee Robinson has rewarded those who had praised him in years prior. The U.S. defender registered a great 2024 for Fulham, a team that currently sits comfortably at the middle of the EPL table.
Robinson provided nine assists along the way, making him one of the greatest contributors of goals in the league.
Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool)
Virgil van Dijk remains a towering figure in defence. Like his colleague, Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk’s place in the Team of the Year is nearly an afterthought.
There haven’t been many strikers capable of scoring when the Dutchman is on the pitch, and Van Dijk has led a triumphant Liverpool side.
Midfielders
Cole Palmer (Chelsea) – 870 points
The MVP of FootballCoin and fantasy football, Palmer is a generational talent. The fact that Manchester City wasted it is sensational, but so is the fact that Chelsea isn’t quite making the best of it just yet. With these kinds of performances, I expect to see Palmer at the highest level for a while.
Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
While everyone in the Manchester United dressing room seemed to be losing their heads, Bruno Fernandes kept cool. The midfielder maestro remains United’s best, most consistent performer and, frankly, the only player in the squad who has anything to smile about.
Pedro Porro (Tottenham)
Pedro Porro has shown himself to be the best Spurs signing of recent years. While the defender still has some things to learn in order to fulfil his real potential, the wing-back’s sensational attacking play and courage in defence made him indispensable to Ange Postecoglou’s side.
Lewis Hall (Newcastle)
At just 20 years of age, Lewis Hall is the youngest addition to the EPL Team of the Season for 2024. His success must be a source of great pride for Newcastle and manager Eddie Howe, who have proven that they can foster young talent as well as purchase established players for dizzying sums of money.
Attackers
Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
Was it the desire to get a new contract or a need to prove himself one last time? Either way, in 2024, Mohamed Salah proved why he is one of the greatest players in the history of the modern Premier League.
This season, he managed 19 goals and 13 assists. If this is going out, it’s quite a stylish way of doing it.
Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)
Brentford has always been able to find solutions. Mbuemo is one of the players discovered by the team’s scouting team. While the striker has been playing for The Bees since 2019, this was the year that his performances really grew, making him one of the best forwards in the league.
