Selection Criteria

- Team impact and influence
- Big game performances
- Fan polls and expert opinions
Our formation: 4-3-3
Goalkeeper
Alisson Becker (Liverpool)
The Brazilian was instrumental in Liverpool’s top-three finish. His shot-stopping, command of the box, and distribution gave Liverpool the edge in several tight encounters. With 15 clean sheets and numerous match-saving moments, he earns the spot.
Defenders
RB – Ben White (Arsenal)
Reliable and versatile, White delivered both defensively and offensively. With a 90% pass accuracy and solid overlapping runs, he became one of Arsenal’s most consistent assets.
CB – William Saliba (Arsenal)
A rock in defense, Saliba helped Arsenal maintain one of the best defensive records. His positioning, ball recovery, and calm demeanor stood out.
CB – Ruben Dias (Manchester City)
The leader at the back for City’s title-winning run. His organizational skills and dominance in aerial duels make him a no-brainer inclusion.
LB – Destiny Udogie (Tottenham Hotspur)
The Italian left-back was one of Spurs’ breakout stars, contributing to both defense and attack. His stamina and work rate caught the eye all season.
Midfielders
CM – Declan Rice (Arsenal)
Rice justified every penny of his transfer fee. He anchored Arsenal’s midfield with grace, breaking up play and contributing 5 goals and 6 assists.
CM – Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
Even with limited appearances early on, KDB’s creative flair defined key matches. His 12 assists in just 18 starts are nothing short of elite.
CM – Cole Palmer (Chelsea)
The young Englishman lit up Stamford Bridge, finishing with double-digit goals and assists. A true breakout campaign from a future star.
Forwards
RW – Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
Saka continues to impress with 17 goals and 11 assists. His dribbling, decision-making, and link-up play were key to Arsenal’s attack.
ST – Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
Despite strong competition, Haaland’s 27 goals ensured he retains his place in the best XI. His presence alone changes how teams defend against City.
LW – Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur)
Son’s leadership and flair powered Spurs through tough games. Finishing with 19 goals and 8 assists, he was often their match-winner.
Manager of the Season
Mikel Arteta (Arsenal)
Though Guardiola won the league, Arteta’s ability to push City until the final day, maintain a top defense, and develop stars like Rice and Saka gives him the managerial crown this time.
