West Ham United fans call their favorites “the Hammers”. Its current position in the table reflects the strength of the team, its capabilities. Fans of the football club are constantly interested in West Ham standings.
The club’s position in the standings
The team is an old-timer of the English Premier League and has earned authority. However, this season its affairs are below average, which reflects the place occupied. If we compare with other teams, then here we can evaluate the following facts:
- West Ham is ahead of its London neighbors Tottenham, having also fewer defeats.
- The team is significantly inferior to Liverpool, the leader of the championship.
- The Newcastle players are also much ahead.
However, another famous club – Manchester United is lower in the standings and this can serve as evidence of the good potential of the Hammers. When assessing the team, it is also worth considering the high competition in the English Premier League, the significant return of opponents, and the intransigence of outsiders.
Facts characterizing the team’s activities
In the 2024-2025 season, £1.96 million per week is spent on football players’ salaries, as evidenced by data published on specialized web resources. Other portals have an alternative estimate, where the wage fund is £88.9 million per year or £1.71 million per week. This applies only to players under contract with the team.
The Brazilian Lucas Paqueta earns the most, his annual income is £7.8 million per year, or £150,000 per week. Among the leading players, the following stand out:
- Jarrod Bowen. It is not for nothing that he wears the captain’s armband, he is the team’s best striker and scorer.
- Aaron Wan-Bissaka plays as a right back and also stands out for his game.
- Mohammed Kudus plays in midfield, stands out for his dribbling, being the best in the team in this indicator.
- The number seven in the club is entrusted to the winger from the Netherlands Crisencio Summerville, who arrived only a year ago.
- If we talk about the game against famous clubs, it is worth highlighting the victory over Manchester United, the draw with Tottenham, but in general the team copes well with mid-table and outsiders.
The balance is shifted to defense, if the defense stands out for its strength, then the attack is not powerful enough, as evidenced by the number of goals scored. Plans for the next season require strengthening the weakest points.
