Premier League Clubs Tier List

Every Premier League argument becomes a club argument within two minutes. Twelve clubs, unranked, and three different questions on one board: who is best run, who is best supported, and who would you actually want to follow? Every entry starts in Unranked — drag or tap a tile to fill S through F, rename any row, then export the finished board as a PNG.

How this board is built: the 12 tiles are an editorial starting set, not an official roster and not a published ranking — every entry waits in Unranked until you place it. Item tiles are original pictograms or two-letter emblems drawn for this site rather than character artwork, film stills or club logos, so nothing here is licensed material reused from a rights holder. Tiers you set are your own judgement.

What's included in this Premier League Clubs board

The board arrives with all 12 entries present as tiles and none of them assigned to a tier. That is deliberate: a template that opens with a finished ranking only invites you to agree or disagree with whoever made it, whereas an empty ladder makes you commit to an ordering of your own. Drag a tile onto a row, or on a phone tap the tile and then the tier you want. You can add rows for extra categories, rename the standard ones, and remove any entry you do not recognise — a list you can defend is more useful than a long one you cannot.

How to rank this Premier League Clubs board

Rank squad depth first if you are judging the football, because a season is decided by the eleventh to eighteenth players rather than the first eleven. Then weigh matchday atmosphere, which is the part of a club that does not appear in a table and is the reason most people start following one. Third, judge how the club is run — recruitment, patience with managers, and whether the plan survives a bad October. Finish by deciding whether you are ranking current quality or the club as an institution. A historic giant with a broken squad and a well-run mid-table side are not competing on the same axis, and a list that mixes them needs to say which one it rewards.

Using the board without over-thinking it

Most people finish a board like this in a couple of minutes and then reorder the middle rows for another ten. That middle is where the honest disagreement lives, so do not rush it: place the obvious top three and the obvious bottom three first, then work inward. If two entries still feel identical, that is a real observation — say so in a row note or a text tile rather than inventing a difference. When the ordering settles, export the PNG so the arrangement is saved somewhere permanent, and copy the share link if you want someone else to argue with it.

Before you share it

Put your criterion in the board title, so a reader knows whether they are looking at a favourites list or an analytical one. If the subject changes with patches, seasons or releases, add the date. And remember the share link carries tier names, colours and the tile order — uploaded photos stay on your device, so export a PNG when those matter.

Premier League Clubs tier list FAQ

Is this a prediction of the final table?

No. A prediction has a date on it and this board does not. If you want one, put the season in the title and rebuild it in May.

How do I rank a club I do not support?

On the criteria, not on feeling. If you cannot separate the two, note it — a visible bias is more useful than a hidden one.
