Football Manager 2023: Predicting the 10 best Premier League players

Football Manager 2023 is one of the most anticipated games of the year.

The game has not actually been announced yet but the franchise has continually followed an annual release schedule.

As a result, we expect the game to release around November time, with the beta coming two weeks beforehand.

As a result, with the Premier League season starting this week, we’ve taken a stab at predicting the very best players in the league ahead of FM23.

We’ve previously put together a prediction article on the best players in the game and now we’re focusing in on the English top-flight.

We’ve cross-checked this list with the best players in the league on FM22, and added in some of our own predictions too!

10. Ederson – Manchester City

Something of an eccentric goalkeeper, Ederson has some wonderful attributes when it comes to his ball-playing ability, and is an absolutely elite shot-stopper.

9. Bernardo Silva – Manchester City

A silky midfielder, Silva might actually be a tad underrated, given that he plays with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Jack Grealish, but he’s wonderful, and is capable of unpicking any defence with a brilliant pass.

8. Heung-Min Son – Tottenham Hotspur

Son really came into his own last season and looks primed to go again under Antonio Conte. A world-class winger.

7. Alisson – Liverpool

The best goalkeeper in the league on FM22 and we can’t see that changing, given his unreal shot-stopping ability and the fact he can kick-start attacks.

6. Cristiano Ronaldo – Manchester United

It remains to be seen if Ronaldo will actually be at United by the time the window closes but for now, he’s on their books, so he has to be in the top 10, as he’s one of the greatest players of all time.

5. Virgil van Dijk – Liverpool
