Goalkeeper – Allison

Brazilian goalkeeper Allison is Liverpool’s undisputed 1st choice goalie, and his recent performances has earned him a spot on our team of the season.
Allison just scooped up his 1st Epl golden glove award in his 1st season in England, having kept a Clean Sheet in 21 matches out of the 38 that he played in the league with 72 saves to go with.

LB – Jordi Alba

As at two weeks ago, if anyone asked you for the top two LB’s in world football at the moment. The answer would’ve been
Jordi and Alba. Such was his brilliant season, that in all fairness the next contender to him was as far as 3rd place.
No defender in world football has had more goal involvements than Jordi Alba all season. Being the 1st for assists and 6th in Goals across Europe.
The horrors of Anfield did show that he was still human and could be surpassed, but still good enough to be no1.

CB: Virgil Van Dijk

If in 2019 Virgil Van Dijk doesn’t finish in the top 5 players list, then we know there’s something wrong with the T.V’s of these journalists and media men.
The Rock Steady Dutch defender has been a giant all season long for Jurgen Klopp and his men, from bossing the epl to allow fewer goals than any other team to being unbeatable(literally) all season long in the UCL. Such has been his standard of consistency.
It’s no surprise he scooped the PFA player of the year with such ease.

CB – kalidou koulibaly

Yes Mathijs De Ligt was a sensation to watch this season but Koulibaly was just a tad bit better all season, the serie A defenderof the year was the standout performer for an impressive Napoli side who had a decent season under Carlo Ancelotti.

RB – Trent Alexander Arnold

One fact that needs to be spelt out is that TAA is only 20 years old. Yes 20
Trent Alexander Arnold is the 2nd highest assist provider for defenders across all of Europe with 16 assists to his name, arguably one of the best crossers in the game at the moment, not the best tackler you’d find but he still boasts an impressive 62% tackle success rate.

CM – Tanguay Ndombele


Your definition of a modern day Central Midfielder, Ndombele has been a beast in the middle of the park for Lyon this season, with some fiery displays in the League and the UCL whilst helping the team to a certain 3rd place finish this term.
Playing from defensive midfield Ndombele has had 7 assists in 33 appearances in the ligue1 which is pretty impressive for a 22 year old rising through the ranks.
Little wonder why Pep Guardiola has sighted him as a replacement for the ageing Fernandinho


CM – Paul Pogba

Amidst a dismal performance from the whole United squad this season, Paul Pogba was among the notable stand out performers for them this season and whenever he had a bad game, the whole United squad usually struggled.
16 goals and 11 assists across all competitions
Did enough to earn him a spot in the epl team of the season as well as our team of the season.

CM – Bernado Silva

When KDB was ruled out injured for majority of the season for city, it was time for Bernado Silva to step up, and the little Portuguese wizard did just that and more by even giving pep options on the flanks.
He did so well this season, that pep regarded him as undroppable.
He had a sublime second spell in the epl, enough to earn him recognition for PFA player of the year, and best young player of the year.

RW – Lionel Messi

And for another season running, we’ve witnessed a ruthless Lionel Messi, although he won’t be getting the highly coveted UCL this season, he’s been the standout performer across Europe this season.
With
50 goals yep, you heard that right-FIFTY
And 22 assists
In 49 official games with his closest rival coming a whopping 12 goals behind
Unreal figures.

LW – Eden Hazard

This season seems more likely than ever to be the last time Eden Hazard would play in a Chelsea shirt with a move to Real Madrid looking more certain.
But nevertheless he has been incredible this season
Registering 35 goal contributions in 49 official matches this season.
19 goals
16 assists
Chelsea’s standout player

CF – Mbappe

What’s more to say
The kid is a genius
And he’s already cement(ed)ing legendary status at 20
38 goals
And 17 assists
In just 42 games are shivering numbers for a 20 year old
