Wingers
Trending
The wingers (or wide midfielders) were a tough pick due to the abundance of talent and performances in the league this season. A number of players have put in a shift and scored plenty of goals but only two can make it into this lineup.
On the right wing, we’ve gone with Liverpool’s Sadio Mane. Liverpool were riding high on his performances and his absence due to the Africa Cup of Nations saw the Merseyside club struggle to get results – thereby earning the moniker 'One Mane Team'.
His return saw an upswing in fortunes at the club. He leads the club’s goalscoring charts with 13 goals and also has five assists to his name. The Reds’ unbelievable record against the other top seven teams is partly down to his exploits with goals against Arsenal, Tottenham and Everton.
On the left is Chelsea’s second nominee for the PFA Player of the Year – Eden Hazard. In what has been a stark contrast to last season’s poor return, the Belgian has scored 14 goals and grabbed five assists.
It started with that Man of the Match performance against Manchester United earlier this season and he then scored against other top sides such as Arsenal and Manchester City. In the league alone he has been named Man of the Match 12 times this season (according to WhoScored).
His movement and pace on the ball have been a nightmare for defenders and the solo goal against the Gunners only underlined his importance to the club.
Honourable mentions: Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City) and Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool)
