UEFA Europa League 2024/25: League Phase Recap

First thing to remember in our analysis is that we evaluate all the players who played in the UEFA Europa League 2024/25 until the end of the League Phase. In other words, we evaluate and filter the best performers in the UEL. Assessing all the positions, coupled with the evaluation of a lot of factors and indicators in their games, we can generate the ratings for the players performances. As a matter of fact, in this type of analysis, the type of formation played doesnt influence or limit the ratings system.

Team Average Rating

Accordingly to our algorithm, Manchester United was the best performing teams until now in the Europa League 2024/25. While United was, for us, the team with the highest average rating, Athletic Club was the one that finished with the highest points amount. Despite that, we can see that Lazio plays really good football, with a Team Average Rating higher than Roma, Tottenham, Lyon and Ajax.

Best Players

All things considered, and in terms of the best players in the UEFA Europa League, United’s Mazraoui stood out with really good performances. Equally, at a really high level, we can spot Tzolakis: Olympiacos’s Goalkeeper has been one of the most consistently great players in the competition! A fun fact about this list is the lack of Tottenham players in the Top 10 despite them being well placed in the League Phase.

Best Young Players

All things considered, the UEL agglomerates some of the Best Teams in the World and their Young Players. Therefore, it’s no surprise that this list includes great players like Cherki, Konstantelias, Malick Fofana, Archie Gray and Rasmus Højlund.
