Some of the most underrated players in the Premier League:
Callum Wilson (FW, Newcastle United): Wilson has been one of the most consistent performers in the Premier League, yet he is often overlooked. The striker was vital as Newcastle secured Champions League football for the first time in over 20 years.
The 31-year-old produced an incredible campaign in his debut season at Fulham, as the German led the league in goals prevented with 9.5, while averaging a save percentage of 73.8 with four saves per 90.
The German also attempted the third most passes in the league for goalkeepers, behind only Alisson Becker and Emiliano Martinez, showcasing his underappreciated ball-playing ability.

Bernardo Silva is probably the most underrated player in the world right now. One of the most versatile, reliable, skillful players we have around but rarely gets his deserved recognition. He’s pivotal to how Pep Guardiola’s city play.
