Top Players and Roles
Positions on the Pitch
Each team consists of 11 players that play in the following positions: goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. Each position is important, and it is commonly thought that some of the best players in the world for each position play in the Premier League, so there is plenty of exciting football to watch. A defender can be a centerback or a fullback. Centerbacks mark the opposing attackers, while fullbacks can either support the defense and help moving the ball forward. This happens a lot in the Premier League. Midfielders link up with the attackers to create attacking chances. Some of the most exciting attacking players also play in the Premier League.
What Makes a Player Stand Out
Great players read the game fast. They have excellent awareness of where each player is on the field. Fitness is key to playing in this league, as the intensity of play is rarely matched by other leagues in the world, and each player needs to have consistent workrate for the entire 90 minutes of play. Set pieces have also become an important aspect of the games in the Premier League, so a player's ability to create chances when the ball is stationary or out of play is largely important as well. Every role counts, and good teams blend many skills.

Matchday & Fan Guide
Check the kickoff time in your time zone. Look at the lineups and the bench and note the shape each team uses. Watch how teams press and how they build from the back. Track set pieces on corners and free kicks. Added time at the end of each half is normal, especially when there are a lot of stoppages. Most games tend to be fast paced, however, so you can enjoy the flow of the match all the way through. You can also participate in the fantasy league, so you are more involved and immersed in the experience.
Inside the ground, find your block and seat. Get food or water before the teams walk out. The atmosphere grows as the players warm up. Respect the people around you and stand only when allowed in your section. Join in the songs when you can. After the match, wait for the first rush to pass and follow the signs to your exit. Share your photos and memories with friends online.
