Welcome to the BonusReferrerCode 2024/25 Premier League Awards! A look back at the season that provided plenty of surprises, one comfortable champion and a raft of outstanding individual performances from both players and managers.
In this review, we’ll present our 2024/25 Premier League Awards across various categories, including some familiar ones such as Team of the Year, Player of the Year, Young Player of the Year, and the Premier League Awards Top XI of the Season.
However, other awards may be more tongue-in-cheek, such as looking at the worst performers of the season in terms of teams and players.
There’s a lot to get through here, but remember, while the 2024/25 Premier League Awards signals the end of this season, there’s still plenty of betting available at bet365 Sport on the last few weeks of this campaign and of course, looking ahead to next season too!
So let’s begin with a look at some of the lesser, more tongue-in-cheek awards to kick off the BRC 2024/25 Premier League Awards!
Spurs and United have had abysmal seasons by their standards, but both remain in contention in the Europa League. Saints, in contrast, have been poor from the opening day of the season and played so naively at times that they have to be ranked at the top of this list.
Marcus Rashford would have been in contention here before his loan move to Aston Villa, but there’s no denying that Hojlund’s four goals in 29 games, with 0 assists is poor for an £80m striker. Nunez has performed little better with five goals and two assists while Sterling’s loan move to Arsenal has seen him make just 15 appearances, mostly as sub, without scoring a goal.
Given the vast resources in the squad, it’s strange to see Pep Guardiola on this list, but he is. Same goes for Ruben Amorim who has had a torrid time since taking over at United from Erik Ten Hag. However, Ange Postecoglou’s miserable season at Spurs ensures he takes top billing in this unwanted awards category.
There’s only one name in this category, the strange case of David Coote, who was caught on camera taking drugs, denigrating Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool and then admitted he found life as an official difficult as he was gay. As self-destruction goes, this was a prime example.
Manager – Ange Postecoglou (Tottenham)
Zirkzee has had his struggles at United, but he has at least had some game time. Phillips and Sterling have both barely featured and have now fallen right out of the picture at both club and international level.
Two brilliant pieces of business from Forest and Bournemouth saw them secure two of the top-performing centre backs in the EPL this season in Milenkovic and Huijsen. However Rashford’s loan spell has revitalised the player and given Aston Villa impetus over the second-half of the season.
Admittedly, this category is a bit like picking your favourite enemy, but this trio of officials have been the most consistent with their decisions over the season. Pawson and Taylor are senior officials but Australian ref Gillett has been a real breath of fresh air.
Once again, Drury is untouchable as the best of the football commentators, but both Fletcher and Matterface provide stern competition, especially in their coverage of British teams in European competition.
A contrasting trio, Micah Richards is polarising, but he brings energy to any game he is involved in. Roy Keane’s laconic delivery, combined with his intensity and personal affrontery he takes at some performances makes him a clear second, but Ally McCoist combined great tactical acumen with a fantastic sense of humour.
Both Southampton and Leicester have scored fewest goals in the division and essentially lost most of their games. Everton though were seemingly happy to get 0-0’s under Sean Dyche, but under Moyes have improved in an attacking sense, seeing them move up the table. Still wouldn’t pay to watch them though.
A surprise perhaps that Liverpool are not in the top three, but the Reds have been dogmatic at times this season. Villa and Newcastle have been involved in a number of cracking games, but Spurs come top as they seem to feel defending is an affront to their nature, resulting in some fabulous games to watch as a neutral.
We have followed the example of the NFL and picked two teams of the year, a first team (First XI) and a second team (Second XI), with the latter being for players that enjoyed a great season, but didn’t quite make it into the First XI.
For all the individual awards listed below, we have listed the top three in each category.
Three fantastic games each of which had everything. Liverpool v United was a frenetic game that swung one way then the other. Spurs demolished City despite City having 23 shots to Spurs 9 in a ridiculously open game. Then Spurs were involved in a 6-3 defeat at home to Liverpool in one of the craziest games of any EPL season.
Three very deserving managers top this list, with a nod to Frank (Brentford), Iraola (Bournemouth) and Unai Emery (Villa) who came close. Santo’s miracle season with Forest should be recognised, as should Eddie Howe ending Newcastle’s long wait for a trophy. But Arne Slot wins it for taking over from Jurgen Klopp, and winning the league with effectively the same team.
Martinez is recognised as one of the best keepers in the world and has been rock solid for Villa this season. Sels has been superb for Forest and has the most clean sheets in the division. But Alisson remains the top keeper not just in the EPL, but possibly in the world.
Of course, Liverpool’s captain tops this list after another imperious season. However, Forest centre back Murilo has been hugely impressive while Newcastle’s Dan Burn moved from left back to centre back, won a cup for his local club and earned his first England cap.
There’s lots of competition for this spot with the likes of Fernandez (Man Utd), Caicedo (Chelsea), Szoboszlai and Gravenberch (Liverpool) and Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle) just missing out. Fernandez is developing into a fine player at Chelsea, while Mac Allister governed the midfield for Liverpool, but Declan Rice’s driving energy, defensive work and recent free-kick exploits earn him the crown.
Morgan Rogers and Alexander Isak have had great years and deserve their place in the top three, but there’s no competition for the winner as Mo Salah’s incredible season for scoring goals and assists makes him the easy top choice.
Diallo has emerged from being a squad player to a key man for United, but Lewis-Skelly’s first season for Arsenal has been outstanding. But Rogers impact at Villa has been sensational, becoming first choice striker and earning England honours after a stellar campaign.
Lots of good options here including Kerkez, Huijsen, Lewis-Skelly and Nwaneri. However, Rogers takes top spot after a superb season for Villa, while Amad Diallo earns second after a superb campaign at struggling United, while Delap’s goals for struggling Ipswich earn him third.
Noble mentions too for Forest centre back duo Milenkovic and Murilo, right back Ola Aina, plus the likes of Mac Allister, Enzo Fernandez, Alexander Isak, Bukayo Saka and Bruno Fernandez. However, it’s Declan Rice who finishes third, with Liverpool duo Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah earning the top two slots.
That concludes the BRC 2024/25 Premier League Awards for the season. Remember, you can find plenty of futures betting on the following Premier League season at bet365 Sport throughout the off-season, as well as exciting Transfer Specials betting too!
