The Evolution of Premier League Forwards: What’s Changed?



Since the inception of the beautiful game, the forward has been the position most young children dream of playing, and since the formation of the Premier League, we have witnessed many world-class stars leave their mark in this role. From the likes of Alan Shearer, Andy Cole, and Teddy Sheringham in the 90s to Thierry Henry, Michael Owen, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Wayne Rooney in the 00s, to the modern era with Mo Salah and Erling Haaland, the role and playing style have changed dramatically. We examine how this role has evolved and why today’s forward position differs from yesteryear’s.

  1. Everyone remember when it was exciting that your team signed two superstars a window? Now EPL force us to have zero in four and are killing the game they claim to be protecting it from 0:53

  2. Literally the conversation i've been having in recent weeks in terms of how football has evolved, this is what we should be talking about not just "Strikers have fallen off"

  3. Incredibly nice Video that explains the finest finishers in the history of this competition. Notable mentions that were left out include Liverpool's Robbie Fowler and Fernando Torres

  4. This reminds me of the book "The Mixer" by Michael Cox. HIGHLY recommend it for anyone who is interested in tactics. The book basically talks about the entire tactical evolution of the Prem, like this video but 10X longer
