EXCELLENCE
PLAYER OF THE SEASON- James Ward-Prowse (Midfield, Southampton), 4 TOP SCORES The Saints' free kick maestro earned four top scores during the 2021-22 season with none of those instances falling below a 7.5 rating. No other player in the Challenge can boast that type of high level consistency, especially without the benefit of massive goal hauls. Liverpool's Thiago, Leicester's Jamie Vardy, and Newcastle's Bruno Guimaraes each had three top scores to tie for second-best. |
| GOLDEN BOOT- Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), Jamie Vardy (Leicester City), Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal), Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City), 5 GOALS Each of these four men scored five goals during selections. Salah's biggest bump came from his hat trick against Manchester United on October 24th while Gabby Jesus scored the most goals during a selection when he put four past Watford on April 23rd. Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku and Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes both had four. |
BEST SINGLE DAY SCORE- Gabriel Jesus (10.0 vs Watford, 4/23/2022) That aforementioned 4-goal day from Gabby Jesus against the relegation-doomed Hornets was also accompanied by the 25-year old Brazilian assisting on the meat of Manchester City's five goal sandwich. He scored twice on either side of halftime including four minutes after the first whistle and four minutes after the restart. |
| MOST PLAYERS SELECTED FROM A SQUAD- Liverpool (70 PLAYERS) MOST UNIQUE PLAYERS SELECTED FROM A SQUAD- Manchester United (23 UNIQUE) Liverpool had many matches in the final timeslot of a given day as well as many standalone midweek games given their three massive cup runs. So it should come as no surprise that they garnered 70 selections across the months which was 18 more than second place Tottenham Hotspur. In terms of unique selections, it is quite a shock to see the Red Devils crest in that spot. Going back through the archives nobody was safe from taking a punt on a Manchester United player and the club also benefited from having their list expanded by the transferred Donny van de Beek and Anthony Martial. |
I hope this was an enjoyable experience for all involved and an equally enjoyable trip down memory lane for the 2021-22 Premier League Pick One Challenge. The goal is to improve and expand the game for next season and I look forward to seeing familiar as well as new faces for the 2022-23 Challenge!
