Basically the opposite of Spain. I have Paramount+ and I’m planning on watching this fall. I know Haaland plays for Man City (I think ). I don’t have a favorite team but would like to follow one that’s aggressive. Thanks.

same boat, I'm looking for a Premier Team myself.

Probably the best way to get one is to just watch the games and one will eventually come to you.

Paramount Plus will get you Champions League games which is great but for Premier League you will need a Peacock Account.

It's a shame there is more of a barrier to becoming an EPL fan than 16 years ago when I started getting interested. It wasn't perfect when I started trying to watch, but, eventually, every single EPL game was available on NBC Sports. it was awesome. Now, it's just another service you have to pay for.

Don't pick any of the big five (Liverpool, Man City, Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea).

Aston Villa plays exciting, though they just sold Morgan Rogers.

Selfishly, Everton could always us some more American fans.
Has a strong American history, with:
Joe Max Moore
Donovan
McBribe
Howard

Brand new stadium. Great history.

Don't listen to this. Watch for a season and pick the team that speaks to you. It's difficult enough being stuck with a team due to geography or legacy fandom in your home country. Don't limit yourself picking a team in another country because you don't want to look like a bandwagoner. Who gives a shite. You won't run into anyone in the streets questioning why you are a fan of the team you choose.

Liverpool under Andoni will absolutely be attacking. Bandwagon? Sure. But if you watch and like them without any research first, it isn’t really even bandwagon at all.

My guy, you can pick Liverpool or West Ham or fricking Luton Town for all I care, but it doesn't matter. Unless your parents just came over from the Auld Country, we are all bandwagon fans.

I am a huge Spurs supporter. No one would accuse you of jumping on a bandwagon.

Widely considered one of the "Big 6," we have been plagued by management that was more focused on economic stability over winning titles. Our former chairman was known to pinch pennies but with the mindset of building world class facilities and growing a global brand. Unfortunately, Pochettino managed us to success a little prematurely, and we never matched the success with splashing cash on players. This led to a lot of poor hires and a coaching carousel that would make your head spin. Added to that has been an injury crisis of truly baffling proportions.

The last two seasons, we finished 17th, one spot away from relegation. We sealed our survival on the very last day of the season thanks to the efforts of our current manager, Roberto De Zerbi, who is a very well-respected tactician who plays attacking football. Our former chairman stepped aside recently and the new leadership finally has decided to spend some money and back the manager. We will only play domestically, but I am optimistic that we will see a huge rebound and this should be an exciting season.

Spurs are a small club

to the OP I would suggest picking one of the teams that are also playing in Europe, that will give you the most matches to watch

Nine Premier League teams are playing in European competitions in the 2026/27 season, matching the joint-record total.

The qualifiers and their respective leagues are:
UEFA Champions League
Arsenal
Manchester City
Manchester United
Aston Villa
Liverpool

UEFA Europa League
AFC Bournemouth
Sunderland
Crystal Palace (Qualified as Europa Conference League title holders)

UEFA Conference League
Brighton & Hove Albion

I love the Capitalism of Soccer.

No salary caps, free markets for all. No draft, develop your own players. Small teams develop a super talent- sell him for millions. The only part of this I don't like compared to the closed system of American Sports is that the same teams are usually gonna be good because they have the payroll to do so.

I had no idea it was like that.

You want to win- spend the money. You suck- you get relegated and lose out on millions of dollars.

Reading about this system makes Major League Baseball look really bad to me. No salary cap yet all are protected by no relegation. An owner in baseball can suck arse and not spend the money and give zero fricks. Brutal.

Man City is the Yankees in the George Steinbrenner era

This is the best advice. I don't have a team I pull for, I like individual players more than the teams and it's rare that a player stays with a team long term. When I'm actually home on the weekend I put it on and hope for an exciting match.

If you’re glutton for punishment, like me, grab on to Tottenham.

Man City is a good one

Avoid Arsenal if you don't like Spain's style.

Also look into PSG, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Real Madrid

In answering OP’s question, it really depends on the managerial style. If you want high risk, aggressive teams, I’d say this coming year Spurs, Liverpool, ManU, Leeds, Villa to name a few.

Since you have Paramount, then you have the EFL Championship, which is one league lower than the EPL. It’s aggressive, physical, no VAR, localized raw play that goes all out and often times more fun to watch than EPL.
