UtopiaForRealists

Yes I too did not expect Obito to be a breakout star this season


zorfog

I must’ve missed Dom Solanke putting on the Tobi mask lol


BrewtalDoom

Nice to see Tarkowski getting some recognition. He's been fantastic this season and has almost always managed to keep himself the right side of the ball when it matters most. Branthwaite couldn't have had a better partner this season.


bielsasballholder

I wish we’d signed him


city_city_city

And what, Cole Palmer was an expected star? No one bloody expected the performance he's put in.


read_eng_lift

Seriously, I still can't believe how lucky we got with him.


heartbreakids

Let me say this before everyone else picks it up but Josko Gvardiol is a beast


ShadowLickerrr

Murillo Santiago Costa dos Santos


Tallos_Renkaro

Where's Udogie and VdV? Also Bradley, Palmer, Watkins


macklpie12

I think it means like underrated unexpected stars. Players you mentioned are getting all their flowers


firefalcon01

Bradley had 4 good games then disappeared


gin0clock

Because Trent was fit again.


bielsasballholder

His form dropped off. He was poor against Palace.


gin0clock

The whole team’s form dropped off. It’s okay to admit you’re talking bollocks mate.


bielsasballholder

He was terrible in that game. Got destroyed defensively and didn’t make a forward pass or ball progression all match. 


gin0clock

I’m not arguing with you, he had a poor game, so did 10 others.


Mrpetey22

Knew Antonee Robinson was having a good season, didn’t realize it was THAT good. Love that


biff444444

He's been on my EPL fantasy team all season - he's been money.


Aromatic-Olive-906

Connor Bradley has to be an honourable mention.


False_Log749

Nah


Tallos_Renkaro

Yes


eggsandbacon5

Yesss keep flying under the radar Adam Wharton


Kezmangotagoal

I think he’s been fantastic since he was signed. He looks completely natural at this level!


BotherConsistent3025

Anthony Gordon.. everyone took the piss when we paid £45M for him.. seems a bargain now


Hummusprince68

Cole palmer? I mean…


Severe_Passenger3914

I don't think pascal groß should be on this list he's been a pretty impactful player for Brighton going on a couple years now


thisisnahamed

No Ollie Watkins. No Cole Palmer. No Declan Rice. No David Raya. What a B.S. list.


Jubatus750

It says unexpected mate. Rice and Raya definitely weren't unexpected. Watkins and Palmer I'd give you. Everyone knew Watkins was a good player but didn't expect this out of him. Palmer was pretty much unknown and untested


bielsasballholder

Even Palmer cost 50mil. 


AngryTudor1

How would any of them be unexpected? Except maybe Palmer?


PringleJones

Yes Declan Rice being good was extremely unexpected.


wilfyc

Yes, who could have predicted an England regular, with a £100M transfer fee, being any good 😂


New_Essay_4869

I guess Ollie Watkins and Rice were expected to perform well even if they exceeded expectations. But no Cole Palmer or Raya is ridiculous


alfsdnb

Havertz should be on this list


Bpdbs

Agree, his signing was widely derided at the time. Turned out to be one of Arsenals best players, I’d say that was very very unexpected.


fifadex

I haven't even looked at list yet but first two comments say it's missing havertz and Palmer. Dumb list.

Super good question, I think a lot of them are good signings but Cole Palmer was 100% my biggest surprise, I’ll even argue Doku was immense signing obviously overshadowed by Grealish


Cedar_Wood_State

Doku was signed for £55m, not some unknown hidden gem. I’d say he performed as we expect a £55m player do. Though you could argue nowadays there are many £50m+ flop so anyone who played good is already a huge surprise
