Manchester City won the premier league title after a long and exciting battle against Liverpool. However, the official sticker collection of the league is not at the level of its contenders. The last Merlin's album of the Premier League before the Panini comeback expected in 2020 is a too thin collection for the richest league in the world, including only 10 player stickers per club and a total of 310 stickers with no extra stickers (limited editions or updates). However, there are some good features, like the shining stickers for badges and star players and the well-designed club pages.
As usual the album opens with the contents, a foreword (this year signed by Aguero) and two big size stickers: the trophy and the logo of the Premier League 2018/19.
Each club is displaced over two pages with a total of 14 stickers of regular size: the shining badge, the team photo (two stickers), the star player in action (shining), and 10 players of the squad.
In the center of the album there are two special sections. "Derbies" explores the biggest derbies in the Premier League with 8 big size stickers of players in action. Among them Gerrard (Liverpool), Rooney (Manchester United) and Balotelli (Manchester City). "Kits" shows the 40 home and away kits from the season 2018/19 with 20 big size stickers.
