Currently, a player needs to appear in 10 matches in a title-winning season to qualify for a medal (inclusive of matches as a playing substitute):
This "special dispensation", at the discretion of the Premier League Board, is usually reserved for reserve goalkeepers, and outfield players who have played less 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.
