Much of the attention during a Premier League season focuses on the achievements of teams. The biggest of those is the race to land the Premier League title and be crowned champions of England.
Other popular team-based football betting markets include the premier league top 4 odds, Top 6 Finish and Premier League Relegation odds.
But there are plenty of other markets to explore that instead focus on the individual performances of players in the star-studded Premier League. Markets like the Golden Boot winner and the Premier League Player of the Year add great variety to your options.
While the Premier League was introduced in 1992, it wasn't until the 1994-95 season that the inaugural Player of the Year Award came along. Former England striker Alan Shearer was the first recipient of the prize.
Shearer scooped up the award for his goalscoring heroics while playing for Blackburn Rovers. He won the Golden Boot for himself and lifted the Premier League title for his club.
The list of the players that have been handed the Premier League Player of the Year Award is a volume of greats such as Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney, Vincent Kompany, Mohamed Salah and Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo who was the first player to receive the honour twice.
Premier League Player of the Year Award betting is always an intriguing market, as it is dynamic and evolves season by season. Most of the time the winner of the season’s award goes to a player that has helped their team to some success.
2023/24 Premier League Golden Boot winner Erling Haaland for example, won the Player of the Year Award not only for his goals but because they lifted Manchester City to the Premier League title.
Because of the busy transfer markets over the summer, new players arrive on the Premier League scene. That means new faces to the English top flight can easily play their way into contention for the honour.
