I think that I would say Salah is an all-timer and my favorite probably ever, but in my opinion, Virgil Van Dijk is the 3rd Liverpool player. That said, he has probably slipped a bit, too. Interesting!

I suppose I should have added that Bob likely requested “3 Best” and I read “3 to Know”. - “Best” is infinitely more subjective and for the purposes of this exercise (and its intended audience) I put what I felt was guys you’d most likely see do big things and wonder more about. Enjoy!

Jackson over Nkunku because of the injury or talent?

One other American of note. Centerback Austin Trusty plays for Sheffield United. He has been on the bench so far but is another exciting prospect for the USMNT. He was signed from Arsenal after having a good season on loan last year at Birmingham in the championship.

This is great! I started watching EPL this season and really started following/trying to learn the teams/history. I decided that LFC is for me. Maybe there is some implicit bias being a SturmStack fan but after considering the big 6, Liverpool felt like home. Hope Salah doesn’t defect to the Saudi league. I’m just beginning to see him on a weekly basis.

Perfect! I’ll refer to this often. I’m starting to know my team, but no idea on anyone else!

Rodri is absolutely one of City's best three players. I don't know how you could argue Grealish should be above him.

Close fourth for NEW is Trippier. Captain and inevitable future manager. He is the smol little badger who will be wrestling his mountainous midfielder Joelinton when the latter is trying to remove the ref's arms.

This is really well done and helpful. A suggestion is to add US Men’s team players who usually start and those that are on bench for each team.
