Currently, a player needs to appear in 5 matches in a title-winning season to qualify for a medal (inclusive of matches as a playing substitute). This is down from the previous standard of 10 matches played beginning in the 2012–13 season.[1] Previously it stated:
This "special dispensation", at the discretion of the Premier League Board, is usually reserved for reserve goalkeepers, and outfield players who have played fewer than 10 games due to injury.
This table details the chronology of the Premier League winners, the respective captains of the sides, and the number of medals awarded to team players in that season.
There have been 205 different players to receive a Premier League medal, from 40 different countries (in 2011–12, 68 countries in total were represented)[10][11] Of these 39 countries, 18 have yielded only one medal winner.[12]
