Starting between the posts, David Raya of Arsenal claims the goalkeeper spot. His season was nothing short of remarkable, securing the Golden Glove with 16 clean sheets.
Raya’s consistency and command in goal were pivotal for Arsenal’s strong defensive record.
At the heart of the defense, William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes of Arsenal formed an impenetrable partnership. Their resilience was key to the Gunners conceding just 29 goals all season.
Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk, who silenced his critics with a return to top form, also earned his place in the lineup. On the right, Manchester City’s Kyle Walker, known for his pace and tactical awareness, completes the back four.
The midfield trio boasts a blend of creativity, power, and poise. Arsenal’s Declan Rice, with his impressive seven goals and nine assists, partnered seamlessly with Martin Odegaard, who contributed eight goals and ten assists.
Together, they dictated the tempo for Arsenal. Rodri, Manchester City’s midfield maestro, brought stability and finesse, playing a crucial role in City’s title-winning campaign.
Up front, the forward line is a display of clinical finishing and flair. Erling Haaland, despite battling injuries, still managed to secure the Golden Boot with 27 goals.
His teammate, Phil Foden, the Premier League Player of the Season, dazzled with his creativity and relentless energy.
Rounding out the trio is Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins, whose 19 goals and 13 assists made him one of the most lethal forwards in the league.
This PFA Team of the Year not only reflects individual brilliance but also the collective strength of the clubs they represent. It’s a lineup that captures the essence of a thrilling Premier League season.
