Before you even ask: Yes, we will change this list if Harry Kane leaves Tottenham before the start of the season.
But for now, the Premier League’s premier goal scorer of the last decade remains a player in the league and thus it would be ridiculous not to see him in the rankings of the Top 25 players starting the 2023-24 Premier League season.

That said, there’s not a ton of common ground between ProSoccerTalk writers Joe Prince-Wright, Nick Mendola, and Andy Edwards.
We asked each writer to give us a list of their top players, numbered 1-15, and then assigned weighted numbers from the tippy top of the list to the 15th player. We also gave players a bonus if they made all three lists (It happened with less than half of the field!).

There are some surprises along the way, but in typical fashion we know quite well that you agree with this list in totality. So enjoy!
