**Alphonse Areola (West Ham)**: Areola was instrumental for West Ham, preventing what could have been a disastrous six-goal deficit at Bournemouth. His remarkable goalkeeping secured a crucial 2-2 draw, preserving the team’s season.

**Daniel Munoz (Crystal Palace)**: Munoz is emerging as a top contender for Player of the Season, outshining many discussions about Arsenal players. His consistent performances have set him apart from the competition.

**Murillo (Nottingham Forest)**: It would have been audacious for any Forest fan to predict Murillo would score in a 3-0 victory over Liverpool at Anfield. His impactful performance showcased his strength and skill, affirming his status as a formidable player this season.

**Malick Thiaw (Newcastle)**: Having faced criticism for his errors during his tenure in Italy with AC Milan, Thiaw has transformed into a dominant force at Newcastle. His robust and elegant play suggests he has found a home where he truly belongs.

**Ferdi Kadioglu (Brighton)**: Although not a traditional left-back, Kadioglu’s modern approach to the game has made him a valuable asset for Brighton. His signing raised eyebrows initially, but the club’s knack for discovering hidden talent continues to shine.

**Sander Berge (Fulham) and Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest)**: Both players fulfill similar roles and were pivotal to their teams’ victories. Despite the spotlight often being on the goalscorers, their contributions to breaking up play and supporting attacks were invaluable.

**Eberechi Eze (Arsenal)**: Eze has become the focal point for many Arsenal supporters, especially after his stunning performance in the North London derby, where he scored three goals. His composure and overall influence on the game have earned him high praise.

**Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)**: Rogers has reached a pivotal point in his career, making it difficult for Thomas Tuchel to overlook him. After a shaky start to the season, his impressive two-goal performance against Leeds has reaffirmed his potential as a game-changer.

**Callum Wilson (West Ham)**: Despite earlier concerns about his form, Wilson delivered an outstanding performance with two exceptional finishes, demonstrating his elite skills and determination on the pitch.

**Harvey Barnes (Newcastle)**: Barnes is a compelling player, often performing better as a substitute. Although he missed a significant opportunity against Manchester City, his mental resilience shone through as he scored twice, showcasing his ability to thrive in challenging situations.

**Sean Dyche (Nottingham Forest)**: Dyche’s strategic acumen outperformed his opponents, leading to a dominant performance that could have easily resulted in a five or six-goal win for Forest.
