The English Premier League 2013-14 season is nearly upon us, and Bleacher Report brings you the top 100 players coming into the new campaign.

The method used to grade and score the players will be revealed, while any new signings up until Sunday 11 August have been taken into account.

Eager to see who the top-rated player is, how your team's new signings measure up to the existing crop or to check on any upsets?

The rankings are designed to represent where the players are right now, meaning last season's play is a major factor in their scoring. Nemanja Vidic misses out on the top 100 despite getting some minutes under his belt in preseason because no one can be sure what state he's in at the moment.

There's some room to wiggle too, and Shinji Kagawa is a great example of this: A poor 2012-13 season wasn't exactly his fault, and he stands to improve tenfold should David Moyes use him correctly.
