10 the highest.

Let me stress my score is based on the individual expectation for each club and how well they have done. Let me know yours in the comments

Arsenal – 6

Arsenal fell short again. Despite Man City finishing third, the Gunners ended up ten points off the top. Divided fan opinion, injuries, red cards, and conservative tactics contributed to a frustrating season. Arteta’s January admission that the squad lacked attacking depth came back to bite. The Champions League run offered promise, but questionable substitutions in the semi-final raised concerns.

Aston Villa – 6

Villa enjoyed a strong European campaign, including a memorable win over Bayern. However, they faltered domestically, missing out on the top five and the FA Cup final. Big wages and potential summer exits hint at financial balancing ahead.

Brentford – 8

Losing Ivan Toney seemed a risk, but the club thrived. Muembo and Wissa stepped up impressively. Thomas Frank continues to overachieve and adapt his tactics, especially away from home. A record unbeaten away run capped a smart, well-executed season.

Brighton – 8

The youngest manager in Premier League history, Fabian Hurzeler, implemented bold ideas and had Brighton pushing for Europe. A post-FA Cup slump cost them a place in Europe, but the club’s steady rise continues.

Bournemouth – 8

Iraola’s brave tactics brought identity and results, including historic wins over City and Arsenal. High pressing and fluid attacks impressed, though fatigue showed late in the season. 56 points is a club record.

Chelsea – 7

A top-four finish and a trophy won did not silence critics. Maresca implemented a settled side, but slow football and inconsistent form caused fan frustration. Celebrating Champions League qualification showed how expectations have changed.

Crystal Palace – 9

Historic FA Cup win and a huge mentality shift under Glasner. A poor start gave way to peak form at the right time. Eze and Mateta led a rejuvenated squad to glory.

Everton – 7

Avoiding relegation ahead of their stadium move was the priority. Dyche and Moyes delivered stability, if not excitement. The team defended well and were hard to beat.

Fulham – 7

A solid season, but they let key results slip. Taking points off the top clubs but losing to the bottom three highlights inconsistency. Dropped points from winning positions stung.

Ipswich – 3

The jump from League One to the Premier League proved too steep. Despite some memorable results, a Championship-level defence cost them. Fans remain supportive.

Leicester – 2

Off-field decisions undermined their season. Relegation confirmed amid questions over planning and leadership. Van Nistelrooy did not appear fully committed.

Liverpool – 9

Unexpected title winners with Salah and Van Dijk outstanding. Slot wisely made minimal changes. The only blemish was fan treatment of Alexander-Arnold. Physically faded late in the season, but no one capitalised.

Manchester City – 4

Third place, 13 points behind the leaders. Rodri’s injury exposed defensive weaknesses, and Pep’s side looked less confident. A summer rebuild appears likely as De Bruyne exits.

Manchester United – 1

A disaster of a season. Fifteenth in the table, a lack of identity, and instability on and off the pitch. Amorim inherits a mess. The club’s future looks deeply uncertain.

Newcastle – 9

Carabao Cup win, tactical masterclasses from Howe, and Champions League qualification. A dream season on Tyneside. Tonali’s return and clever rotation played key roles.

Nottingham Forest – 8

From survival to European football. Santos’ counter-attacking approach worked well, though the FA Cup exit triggered a dip in form. An emotional season that exceeded expectations.

Southampton – 2

Relegated with minimal fight. Martin stuck to his principles, but playing out from the back proved costly. A historic low points total narrowly avoided.

Spurs – 4

Europa League winners, but a dreadful domestic campaign. Postecoglou’s rigid tactics and poor league form raise doubts. Fans cling to European success, but concerns remain.

West Ham – 3

Moyes’ exit was supposed to bring flair, but Lopetegui offered little improvement. A dull season with no clear identity or ambition. Fans may now question if change was worth it.

Wolves – 6

O’Neil started poorly, but Pereira stabilised the squad. Discipline issues and inconsistency were evident, but finishing 16th was a recovery. Cunha’s sale may prompt more exits.
