While some people timed their rise to coincide with the campaign's peak.
An outstanding season's finish might position a young talent for an outstanding second season.
Five rising stars who made their mark in the season's closing months are highlighted by Mail Sport and are predicted to make a significant effect in the years to come.
And given the season Brighton had, it's not at all surprising that they were able to smuggle a few spots on this list.
Toby Jones
Curtis Jones' first season with the Liverpool first team couldn't have gone any better, in our opinion. Jones became a first team player despite making his club debut in an FA Cup third-round loss in 2019.
The then-18-year-old was a key member of the Reds team who defeated Everton in the FA Cup. He scored the game-winning goal, a curling 20-yard wonder strike, to secure a storied victory. The kid played a total of six games in the league and scored his first league goal against Aston Villa during the exhilarating highs of that season, earning him a Premier League winners medal.

For a span of five games either side of the World Cup, the youthful player paired Lewis Dunk in the center of Brighton's defense. This stretch includes the 3-0 thrashing of Liverpool in January.
