<P> Since the 2012 -- 13 season , a player needs to have played in a minimum of five matches for a title - winning team to qualify for a medal . This is down from the previous standard of ten matches played . At the discretion of the Premier League board , additional medals can be awarded to players who played less than five matches . This special dispensation is usually reserved for back - up goalkeepers and players who did not make the minimum number of appearances through injury . For the first season , players received a miniature version of the trophy rather than a medal . </P>
