Liverpool’s Top Five Players of the 2024/25 Season
With Liverpool twelve points clear at the Premier League summit, the debate surrounding the club’s season being a success has been put to rest. While the disappointment of early exits from domestic and European cup competitions will linger, the pursuit of a 20th English League title has remained the primary objective. Arne Slot’s debut campaign in charge looks set to conclude with major silverware, and much of that is down to the outstanding contributions of several key individuals.
Liverpool’s dominance this season has been built upon a combination of relentless attacking play, defensive stability, and a level of game management befitting of champions. Below are the five standout performers who have been the driving force behind the Reds’ remarkable campaign.

1. Mohamed Salah – The Relentless Match-Winner
2024/25 Appearances: 43 games
Goals and Assists: 32 / 22
There was much speculation ahead of this season regarding Mohamed Salah’s long-term future at Anfield, but once again, the Egyptian forward has let his performances do the talking. Despite missing a brief spell due to injury earlier in the season, Salah has been nothing short of world-class, carrying Liverpool’s attack and delivering when it has mattered most.
His ability to produce in the tightest of spaces, link up with teammates and consistently convert chances has seen him maintain his position as the team’s most influential forward. His work rate, leadership, and hunger for goals remain as potent as ever, and in what has been a transitional year for the squad, his experience has proven invaluable.
With the title run-in now in full swing, Salah’s presence in the final third will continue to be pivotal as Liverpool look to finish the campaign in style.
2. Virgil van Dijk – The Defensive Colossus
2024/25 Appearances: 41 games
If Liverpool are to lift the Premier League trophy this season, much of the credit must go to their captain and defensive leader, Virgil van Dijk. The Dutchman has returned to his absolute best, leading the backline with a level of dominance that few defenders in world football can match.
This season, his reading of the game, composure under pressure, and aerial prowess have made him a near-impenetrable force at the heart of Liverpool’s defence. Van Dijk’s leadership has also been crucial in guiding the younger members of the squad, ensuring that despite the managerial change, Liverpool’s defensive structure has remained as formidable as ever.
At 33, the Dutchman continues to prove why he is still among the very best defenders in the world, and his influence will be crucial in securing the club’s long-awaited 20th league title.
3. Ibrahima Konaté – The Towering Enforcer
2024/25 Appearances: 34 games
Ibrahima Konaté has formed a formidable partnership alongside Van Dijk this season, with his sheer physicality and athleticism making Liverpool’s defence one of the most difficult to break down. The Frenchman has developed into a truly elite centre-back, using his strength, speed, and intelligence to dominate opposition forwards.
His ability to recover quickly, win aerial duels, and provide a powerful presence in both boxes has been a key asset to Liverpool’s tactical setup. Konaté’s progress has been evident in every game he has played, with his consistency and reliability ensuring that the Reds have a strong defensive foundation.
With Liverpool’s title charge reaching its decisive stages, Konaté will continue to play a vital role in keeping opposition attacks at bay.
4. Alexis Mac Allister – The Midfield Maestro
2024/25 Appearances: 42 games
Signed in the summer of 2023, Alexis Mac Allister has rapidly established himself as one of Liverpool’s most influential midfielders. His intelligence, composure, and technical quality have provided the team with a level of control that has been instrumental in their success this season.
Operating as both a deep-lying playmaker and an advanced creative force when required, the Argentine has been the glue that holds Liverpool’s midfield together. His vision and ability to dictate the tempo of games have allowed Liverpool to break down stubborn defensive units, while his tireless work off the ball has helped maintain the team’s pressing intensity.
Having already proven himself on the biggest stages with Argentina, Mac Allister’s performances this season have shown that he is more than capable of being a long-term midfield leader for Liverpool.
5. Alisson Becker – The Goalkeeping Genius
2024/25 Appearances: 28 games
Clean Sheets: 12
While Salah has led the attack and Van Dijk has marshalled the defence, Alisson Becker has been Liverpool’s last line of resistance— and arguably their most decisive player in key moments. The Brazilian has produced some of the most breathtaking saves of his career this season, ensuring that Liverpool remains in control at the top of the table.
No performance summed up his brilliance more than his display against PSG in the Champions League knockout stage. In a game where Liverpool were under siege for long spells, Alisson delivered a masterclass in goalkeeping, making crucial saves that kept his side in contention.
His shot-stopping, distribution, and ability to command his area have once again underlined why he is regarded as the best goalkeeper in world football. If Liverpool go on to win the title, much of the credit will go to Alisson’s reliability and brilliance between the posts.
🚨 Liverpool remain confident Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk will sign new contracts with the club before the summer.

With the Premier League title now within touching distance, it is the performances of Salah, Van Dijk, Konaté, Mac Allister, and Alisson that have ensured that Arne Slot’s first season at Anfield will be remembered as one of triumph and transformation.
