The unexpected stars of the Premier League season so far

Premier League surprises abound as the unexpected stars shine bright.

A year on from being on the brink of being shipped out to Leeds, Harry Wilson has become a mainstay at Fulham. The Welsh winger has transformed into a Premier League phenomenon, starting 20 of Fulham's 22 league games and scoring eight goals with an impressive +4.19 xG difference – only Erling Haaland manages more. Delivered in big moments is his specialty; the free-kick masterclass against Brighton left fans awestruck.

In stark contrast to his former life on the periphery, Brazilian midfielder Igor Thiago has risen to incredible heights at Brentford. After a humbling start to life in the Premier League, Thiago's goalscoring form has catapulted him to Golden Boot contender status – 16 strikes and counting. The 23-year-old defied expectations after spending years working manual jobs to chase football dreams.

Manchester City new signing Antoine Semenyo continues his meteoric rise, netting goals for fun in his debut season with the club. A teenage reject turned Premier League star, Semenyo's raw talent has left fans and coaches alike in awe. His attacking prowess belies defensive prowess too; 18 wins of possession won in the final third this season is a record.

Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, once on the precipice of obscurity, has rediscovered his form at Leeds United. The Everton outcast has rekindled his England hopes with an impressive eight goals in last 12 games and looks poised for another stellar campaign under Thomas Tuchel.

Free agent Jack Grealish has found a new lease on life at Everton, unleashing his creativity and flair after years of being 'moulded' by Pep Guardiola's tactics. Reborn as the confident free-flowing forward of old, Grealish has become an Everton hero – sparking joy in fans and opponents alike with his dazzling skills.

Their journeys serve as a reminder that talent can be rediscovered anywhere, and sometimes it just takes time to find your footing.

Stats are outta control right now lol 🤯! Did u know that 4 of these Prem stars (Wilson, Thiago, Semenyo & Calvert-Lewin) have taken a significant leap in form since the start of the season? 📈 Their xG differences are insane! Wilson's +4.19 is crazy high – only Haaland has more 🔥

And I love how u highlighted the 'rebirths' 🌱 like Grealish & Thiago, who've found new life in the Prem after struggling initially. It's proof that talent can be rediscovered anywhere 🤝! Everton's got a winner with Grealish now 🎉
 
OMG 🤯 I'm low-key surprised by all these Premier League surprises! 🤔 Harry Wilson is a total game changer at Fulham - his free kick skills are insane 😲! And Igor Thiago from Brentford? Forget about it, he's on fire 🔥 16 goals already and counting, what a transformation! 🔄 I'm loving Antoine Semenyo's rise at Manchester City too, the kid's got skills for days 💪. And Dominic Calvert-Lewin at Leeds United? Comeback of the season, dude! 🙌 He was written off but he's showing us all what he's made of. Grealish at Everton is like a breath of fresh air, I'm so happy to see him back to his old self 😊. These stories are giving me life, reminds me that anyone can make it in football with hard work and dedication 💪🏽💫
 
Ugh, I'm so done with these surprise Premier League stars 🙄. Can't they just stay at their original teams for once? 🤦‍♂️ Wilson, Thiago, Semenyo... they're all making their debut seasons look like a breeze and it's just not fair to the rest of us who are stuck in their original positions ⏱️. And what's with all these free agent signings? Can't teams just stick to their transfer policies for once? 🚫 Grealish is the only one that's actually managed to redeem himself, but even he's still a bit of a mystery... why do they have to be so unpredictable? 😒
 
😂 I mean, what's going on here? These guys are like overnight sensations! 🤯 Harry Wilson, the underdog who went from near-ship-out to Premier League phenom in a year – that's wild talk! 🌪️ And Igor Thiago, who just so happens to have spent years working manual jobs and still managed to chase his dreams? 🙌 That's like me finding out I'm actually a rockstar after 5 years of trying to make it as a part-time DJ 😂. Antoine Semenyo's rise is insane – a teenager who was rejected by clubs and now he's like the future of Manchester City 💥! It's all about giving people another chance, right? Maybe we should all take a page out of these guys' books 📚💪
 
I'm still not sold on this 'phenomenon' hype around Harry Wilson 🤔. I mean, 20 starts in 22 games is nothing new for a skilled winger like him. And don't get me wrong, that free-kick masterclass was 🔥 but he's been playing for Fulham since the start of last season and they've had their ups and downs. Let's not forget, it's just stats on a screen, it doesn't tell the whole story 📊...
 
🤯 I mean come on, these guys are like totally out of nowhere! Harry Wilson from Leeds to Fulham, Igor Thiago from manual jobs to Golden Boot contender, Antoine Semenyo from reject to Premier League star... what's going on?! 😂 And don't even get me started on Jack Grealish, he was practically written off and now he's like a completely different player! It just goes to show that with hard work and patience, anyone can turn their career around. 🤝
 
I'm loving these Premier League surprises 🤩! It's awesome to see guys like Harry Wilson and Igor Thiago who were struggling come out on top and prove people wrong. You know what they say, 'second chances are the best chances' 🌟. And let's be real, it's not just about the talent, but also about work ethic and dedication. These players have put in the graft to get to where they're at now and it's paying off big time 💪. Plus, who doesn't love an underdog story? 😊 Semenyo is like the ultimate rags-to-riches tale - from being a teenager without a future to becoming a Premier League star 🌟! It's just so inspiring to see these players thrive.
 
I'm loving this Premier League revival vibe 🤩! Wilson's transformation from bench warmer to star man is insane, and Thiago's rise from manual laborer to Golden Boot contender is a total fairytale 😍. Semenyo's raw talent is mind-blowing, especially for someone who was once considered a reject. And Calvert-Lewin rediscovering his form at Leeds is awesome – it just goes to show that players can turn their careers around with the right team and coaching 👏.
