Premier League best back up 11 captain
Kobbie Mainoo for Manchester United

Premier League is filled with a lot of talents from all over the world. With all the talents in the world, often there are some talents that are brighter than the other. 

After Man City brought their second team as they lost against Leverkusen in the Champions League, it got us thinking. What is the best XI that is filled with all players being the back up players of their respective clubs. 

Goalkeeper: Aaron Ramsdale

Currently plays for Newcastle United as the backup for Nick Pope. It is actually very close between him, Trafford and Mamardahvilli. But there are the vibes that Ramsdale with his experience in the Premier League with Sheffield United and Arsenal make the pick goes to him.

Right-Back: Benjamin White

Mikel Arteta thought that White might be Arsenal’s best player during pre-season and promised him more game time after a long injury. The arrival of Jurien Gimber who is more rounded and has better technical skill makes him a rotation player at Arsenal. But his overall experience must not be forgotten.

Center-Back: Christian Mosquera

Arsenal is known to have one of the best Center-back pairs in the Premier League this season with Gabriel and Saliba. Being their back-up means you need to have a good skill to actually be in the squad depth of the team that has a very strong defense.

Center-Back: Piero Hincapie

Moving from the Bundesliga title winning team to Premier League and becoming the back-up is certainly not the main purpose of Hincapie’s move to Arsenal. But with the solid performance of Gabriel and Saliba as a pair, he might be one of the best back-up Center backs not only in England, but also in Europe.

Left-Back: Lewis Hall

The Back-up player definition is certainly down to a lot of factors. For Lewis Hall, his injury record might be one of the biggest issues of his career and make it difficult for a lot of people to really judge his performance.

It’s likely that if his injuries don’t hold him back, he will play more regularly in the starting 11 of Newcastle United.

Central-Midfield: Kobbie Mainoo

Under Ruben Amorim, Kobbie Mainoo doesn’t get as much game time as he got when Erik Ten Hag led the team. Amorim has his reason by saying Mainoo still need to improve in some areas and he will be slowly integrated to be in the starting eleven.

Central-Midfield: Andrey Santos

Andrey Santos is a victim of the BlueCo of Chelsea. He is legitimately an excellent midfielder. He was signed and then sent on loans a couple times during his time at Chelsea.

Right-Wing: Federico Chiesa

Federico Chiesa has been very important for Liverpool with his goal contributions this season. But for some reason, Arne still wouldn’t give him the starting position..

Attacking-Midfield: Omar Marmoush

After moving to Premier League and joining Man City mid season last year. Marmoush seems to be struggling to get more game time this season. His injuries and lost of momentum are the main factors of his struggle. You can find more information about Premier League in Price In UK

Left-Wing: Mathys Tel

Mathys Tel has been excluded from the Champions League Squad despite only four of his teammates having more goals than him. Maybe he feels unhappy about that and it is really affecting his overall game in the Premier League.

Centre-Forward: Liam Delap

The arrival of Joao Pedro and his injury at the start of the season surely hold him back in so many ways. Delap does have more world champion medals and red cards than goals in the Premier League for Chelsea.
