10 Premier League clubs with most points in this decade

We are here with the list of 10 Premier League clubs with most points in the last 10 Seasons. The Premier League over the last decade has been defined by consistency, dominance, and tactical evolution. While several clubs have had standout individual seasons, only a select few have maintained elite performance across multiple campaigns. Looking at cumulative points over the last 10 seasons (since 2016–17), one team clearly stands above the rest, who have set the benchmark for sustained excellence with over 840 points in this period. 

Here’s a look at the top 10 clubs with the most Premier League points across the last decade:

1. Manchester City (840 Points)

Manchester City’s dominance in the last 10 years has been unprecedented. Under Pep Guardiola, they have consistently produced title-winning performances, including record-breaking campaigns. Their ability to combine possession football with relentless attacking output has resulted in them comfortably leading this list. 

2. Liverpool (790 Points)

Liverpool have been City’s closest challengers during this era. Jurgen Klopp transformed the club into a pressing machine, culminating in their historic 2019–20 title win. Their consistency, especially between 2018 and 2022, helped them accumulate a massive points tally. 

3. Arsenal (711 Points)

Arsenal have enjoyed a resurgence in recent seasons. While they initially struggled for consistency post-Wenger, the Mikel Arteta era has brought stability and strong league finishes, pushing them into the top three over the decade. 

4. Chelsea (666 Points)

Chelsea have experienced highs and lows, including a title win in 2016–17. Despite managerial changes and inconsistent phases, their ability to remain competitive has ensured a strong cumulative points total.

5. Manchester United (646 Points)

Manchester United have not matched their pre-2013 dominance but still remain among the top teams in terms of total points. Regular top-four finishes and occasional title challenges have contributed significantly to their tally.

6. Tottenham Hotspur (620 Points)

Tottenham Hotspur were one of the most consistent teams in the late 2010s under Mauricio Pochettino. Although they have struggled in recent years, their earlier performances keep them firmly in the top six.

7. Everton (481 points)

Everton have largely hovered around mid-table but maintained enough consistency over the years to rank among the top 10. Their stability, especially in the earlier part of the decade, contributes to their position.

8. Newcastle United (466 Points)

Newcastle United complete the list, thanks to a mix of survival seasons and recent resurgence under new ownership. Their improved performances in the last few years have significantly boosted their total points.

9. West Ham (463 Points)

West Ham United have been a steady presence over the past decade, consistently collecting enough points for mid-table finishes. They are currently in a relegation battle though, and will be hoping to get back to their previous successful ways.

10. Crystal Palace (455 Points)

Crystal Palace round out the top 10, thanks to their long-standing presence in the Premier League and consistent ability to avoid relegation. Their steady accumulation of points across seasons earns them a spot on this list.

Conclusion

The last decade of the Premier League highlights the importance of sustained excellence rather than short-term success. While Manchester City lead the way by a significant margin, clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal have proven that consistent top-level performance can keep them competitive. Meanwhile, teams like Everton and West Ham showcase how smart management and strategy can help clubs outperform expectations over time.

As the league continues to evolve, it will be fascinating to see whether Manchester City can maintain their dominance, or if new challengers emerge to reshape the hierarchy in the coming years.
