**Alphonse Areola (West Ham)**: Areola was instrumental in preventing West Ham from falling behind by multiple goals against Bournemouth. His exceptional goalkeeping secured a crucial 2-2 draw, which could have significantly impacted their season.

**Daniel Munoz (Crystal Palace)**: Munoz is emerging as a leading candidate for Player of the Season. While Arsenal players garner attention, he has been a standout performer by a considerable margin.

**Murillo (Nottingham Forest)**: It would have been audacious for any Nottingham Forest supporter to predict Murillo scoring in a 3-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield. His performance was remarkable, showcasing his growing strength and influence on the pitch, reminiscent of his previous season’s form.

**Malick Thiaw (Newcastle)**: Thiaw faced challenges during his tenure in Italy with AC Milan, but he has transformed into a dominant force at Newcastle, exhibiting strength and elegance, suggesting he has found his ideal environment.

**Ferdi Kadioglu (Brighton)**: While not a traditional left-back, Kadioglu has proven to be a valuable asset for Brighton, fulfilling a modern role that enhances their attacking capabilities. His signing has surprised many, especially after the departure of Pervis Estupinan.

**Sander Berge (Fulham) and Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest)**: Both players play similar roles and are pivotal to their teams’ successes. Their contributions often go unnoticed amid the spotlight on the goalscorers; however, their ability to disrupt play and support the attack is invaluable.

**Eberechi Eze (Arsenal)**: Eze has emerged as the standout player, silencing doubts from fans, including Troy’s son, about his capability to elevate the team. His three goals in the North London derby showcased his composure and dominance on the field, solidifying his status as the best player in that match.

**Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)**: Rogers is proving difficult to drop from the lineup, having settled into a more productive role after a lackluster start to the season. His key goals against Leeds were instrumental in turning the tide for his team.

**Callum Wilson (West Ham)**: Initially seeming off-form, Wilson surprised many with a stellar performance, demonstrating his excellence and scoring prowess with two impressive finishes.

**Harvey Barnes (Newcastle)**: Barnes is a fascinating player whose best performances often come off the bench. Although he missed a critical opportunity against Manchester City, his resilience showed as he scored twice under pressure.

**Sean Dyche (Nottingham Forest)**: Dyche outperformed Arne Slot with an effective game plan that could have led to a more substantial victory for Forest.
