 Premier League 2022-23 superlatives: The players and teams that will define the season in England's top flight


The Premier League is back and with that, it's a good time to peer into a demitasse ball of what may be in the league while everyone is still on position footing. From the stylish freshman to picking the most important American to their platoon, we have got every angle covered-- indeed some that you did not know that you demanded. Swatch in and let's get to some prognostications. Also, for the traditional top four, deportation prognostications and the title winner, the CBS Sports staff has you covered. 

 


 Stylish freshman Darwin Nunez, Liverpool 


 Nunez is quite an addition to the Liverpool attack as Jurgen Klopp refreshes the platoon to replace Sadio Mane. After scoring 34 pretensions and aiding four further with Benfica, it's safe to anticipate further than 20 pretensions from Nunez in all competitions as long as he is on the field constantly. Klopp has formerly shown that the gibing department is comfortable transitioning players from Portugal with the successful addition of Luis Diaz last season, but Nunez is different from Liverpool's usual forwards leading the line. 

 

 A shoot first, ask questions latterly forward, Nunez will calculate on service from those around him. The good news is that between Mohamed Salah, Thiago, Andrew Robertson, Trent Alexander- Arnold, and Diaz the crosses coming into the box are a on dream. Indeed if he drifts out to the sect, Salah is suitable to fill the space in the middle, making Liverpool that much more dangerous. The biggest transition will be conforming to the press, but Liverpool loaded the preseason with friendlies to give the platoon as important game time together as possible before moving into the grind of the season. The biggest point in Nunez's favor over the summer's more heralded move of Erling Haaland to Manchester City is that I see him getting further thresholds in an attack that can match City step for step. 


 Golden Charge Winner Mohamed Salah, Liverpool 


 The big red machine moves on. Salah will continue to be a crucial cog in the attack after subscribing a contract extension. Picking Salah to win the golden charge feels easy, given that he is formerly won at least a share of three of the last five editions of the award. The only players to stylish him in the once five seasons are Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane. Vardy is floundering with injuries while he periods while Kane is no longer the most stressed bushwhacker on Spurs as that title now shifts to Heung- Min Son who tied Salah for the Golden Boot last time. It'll be another strong season for Salah and the Reds and while not attending the World Cup with Egypt will be a disappointment, it'll also make for a strong alternate half of the season where Salah is rested while others aren't.

 utmost bettered Team Newcastle United 

This is a loaded answer because Newcastle United did well last season but the jump they last time from the nethermost half into the top half is a bigger enhancement than doing commodity like avoiding deportation by climbing advanced in midtable like Brentford. The Babblers are borderline Europa League contenders with veritably little business this summer thanks to the strength of their defense. Sven Botman and Nick Pope are significant upgrades while making the addition of Matt Targett endless is also a solid addition for them. Under Eddie Howe, Newcastle only need one of Manchester United or West Ham United to slip up to crash England's European party. With Newcastle's enhancement this season, I'd also back Howe for trainer of the time if they are suitable to make Europe. 

 

 Biggest Drop in the Table Wolverhampton Wanderers 


 It's hard to tell what the Wolves frontal office is doing. Bruno Lage wants attacking mounts, but rather Fabio Silva was lent to Belgium with no sanctioned relief yet. Raul Jimenez is formerly injured to begin the season leaving Wolves indeed shorter in the attack. The only addition this summer has been Nathan Collins in central defense. He is a way to get youngish in defense after letting Romain Saiss leave this summer but he will not ameliorate Wolves' most burning problems. Morgan Gibbs- White could bring his sharp form back home from his loan spell with Sheffield United, but playing as a ten rather of as a alternate striker will change how he influences the game. For Wolves to do well, Pedro Neto and Deniel Podence will need to take significant way forward. It's clearly possible that they do that but if they don't, an attack that only scored 38 pretensions( good for the fourth worst number in the league) last season, will be worse off and sink the platoon as a result. 

 


 Stylish Promoted Side Nottingham Forest 


 

 The Tricky Trees earn this title tanks to Fulham's history in the Premier League and Bournemouth's lack of business. Steve Cooper has a tough job getting their new signings to click, but it also has to be an easier job than last time when he took over the platoon during the season and got them promoted from the Championship. On paper, timber have made emotional additions but they'll need to insure that Taiwo Awoniyi and Brennan Johnson are supported well in the attack. It could be a tough launch for timber and they could finish anywhere from tenth in the league to dead last and it wouldn't be surprising to me. Opening the season with Newcastle, West Ham, Everton, Tottenham, and Manchester City prospects will be low for points out of the gate, but that will allow the platoon to gel under pressure before three successive games against brigades who'll be around the deportation zone with them. By the end of September, we should at least have an idea of which way timber will be heading. 

Breakout Performer Eberechi Eze, Crystal Palace 
 

 One of the most instigative players in the Championship when h was inked from QPR, Eze hasn't been suitable to replicate his strong first season with the Eagles where he scored four pretensions and supported six further. After missing significant time due to an Achilles injury, he is back with a fullpre-season under his belt and the number ten shirt showing that he has also earned Patrick Vieira's trust. With Conor Gallagher back at Chelsea, Eze will shoulder the responsibility of being the creative focus of the Palace attack which could see him fluently clear double integers in combined pretensions and assists this season. Vieira is erecting commodity special in South London and Eze's performances will be at the center of making it work this season. 



 Stylish youthful Player Bukayo Saka, Arsenal 

Saka will be celebrating his 21st birthday one month from now. It's wild that he is only 20 times old as the season kicks off despite having three seasons of Premier League soccer under his belt. Saka is principally a seasoned stager in this instigative Arsenal side. Coming off of a rout time that saw him score 11 pretensions and help seven further in Premier League play, Arsenal have girdled Saka with further quality so that he can make the attack crack. With Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard in the final third, Saka could make last season's counting stats look like nothing but his focus will be on getting Arsenal back into titleholders League play after missing out due to a loss to their North London rivals Tottenham right before the final match week of the season. The disappointment will hopefully drive Arsenal to not leave effects so late this season. 


Most Valuable American Player Tyler Adams, Leeds United 
 

 

 With Christian Pulisic demanding to fight for twinkles at Chelsea, Chris Richards being in a analogous position with Crystal Palace, and Antonee Robinson fighting an uphill battle with Fulham all eyes are on Leeds United's American brace of Tyler Adams and Brenden Aaronson. Adams is replacing Kalvin Phillips who moved on to Manchester City. Leeds need to fill the massive hole that he left in the team and Marc Roca and Adams have been assigned with that. Adams is a strong protective midfielder and it's important that Jesse Marsch knows what Adams can and can not do so that he is not overreached while trying to acclimate to life in the Premier League. For Leeds to take a step forward from just avoiding deportation last season, protective enhancement will be demanded. Adams will be central to that. Leeds have made quite a many signings this summer so a rough launch to the season could see mistrustfulness begin to creep in but if it goes well, Adams will be in a great spot ahead of the World Cup in November. 



 Honorable mentions 

Worst Neck Tattoos Gianluca Scamacca, West Ham United 

 It seems like a battering captain and a woman on Scamacca's neck. While he should score relatively a many pretensions for the Hammers this season, I'd love to know the story that his tattoos have to tell. 

 

 Most likely to be in a Head and Shoulders marketable Marc Cucurella 

After an astonishing move to Chelsea in a deal that could be worth up to£ 62 million, it's time to over Cucurella's countersign game by following in Troy Polamalu's steps. 

 

" stay he is still then?" Anthony Martial 

 It feels like Manchester United has a player pop up like this each season but since his strong season in 2019, Martial has been largely absent for United. That could change under Erik ten Hag once he recovers from a minor injury however.
