An international break? Three weeks into the new Premier League season? What utter nonsense.
But don’t worry, we have just the tonic to cure this ailment.
It’s time to go back 90 minutes Top 90 series, ranking who we think will be the best players at the end of the 2024/25 campaign.
Of course, we could go ahead with a ranking of who we think is the best 90 Premier League Footballers are now, but isn’t it more fun to look into the future and try to predict some wacky career projections? Of course it is.
Here’s who we think will be in that 90 come the end of the season.
you forgot Sandro Tonali until about a week ago? Don’t be shy, it’s okay to admit if you’ve done it.
The Italian’s redemption arc following his betting ban is one of the most intriguing subplots of the campaign, and we have him pointing the whole list at 90.
In the meantime, we look forward to seeing you Omari Hutchinson take the Premier League by storm with newly promoted Ipswich Town, and there could be huge comeback seasons for Fulham Emile Smith Rowe and that of Manchester United Mount Mason.

If we were ranking players as they are today, then Gabriel Magalhaes it wouldn’t be as low as 70. But his place at Arsenal could be up for grabs, and there’s every chance of a new signing Riccardo Calafiori could usurp it in the pecking order.
All over London, Romeo Lavia He should have a season to remember after his debut campaign at Chelsea was derailed by injury.
Newcomers to the Premier League Savino i Noussair Mazraoui could enjoy stellar years on opposite sides of Manchester.

Yes, that’s a Nottingham Forest defender aged 50 – buy yours Murillo stocks now while still relatively low.
We’ll also freely admit it Dominic Solanke jumped around 25 places in our draft rankings following his move from Bournemouth to Tottenham Hotspur. This is not a big club bias (*points from the previous paragraph*), but rather a bet for him to get a large amount in Ange Postecoglou’s system.
There are equally high hopes Joshua Zirkzee at Manchester United, bringing an innate ability to connect attacks and finish them off.
It hasn’t been the fastest of starts Harvey Elliott at Liverpool this season, but we are firm in our belief that he will finally have his breakout year.

31) Lucas Package
This time a year ago, Kobbie Mainoo wouldn’t have cracked Man Utd’s top 14 players. Here he is 14 in the entire Premier League.
His teammate, Alexandre Garnachois also on the cusp of superstardom and we want in on that action.
The only reason Cole Palmer didn’t get our top ten right is that we have no idea what Chelsea (as a club, not just a team) will be like week-to-week, so it’s impossible to say they’ll be great and will have thrived in May.
30) Matthijs de Ligt

12) Alexander Isak
11) Cole Palmer
Your eyes will only look towards the number 1, so let’s talk about the number 1.
The 90 minutes The team is divided on who will win the Premier League title this season, but many of us believe that Arsenal will finally topple Manchester City.
And if that’s the case, then Bukayo Saka he’ll probably get a fair share of the credit for that. Erling Haaland he could score a billion more goals, but it may be Saka’s Herculean efforts that return the Gunners to the top.
10) Rice Declan
9) Mohamed Salah
