Top 5 players who never got picked in the Team of the Year in Premier League history

1) Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)

Sergio Aguero won the Premier League Golden Boot in 2014/15

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero never making the Team of the Year is a mystery that have left many fans scratching their heads. Signed for £38m in a blockbuster deal in 2011, Aguero was expected to give City the push required to finally land a Premier League title.

Nobody needs reminding of how he did just that in the final game of the season – a stoppage-time winner in the final game of the season to give City the title on Goal Difference. Aguero has since won another league title to add to his tally. In six seasons at the club, he has scored an average of 27 goals a season. If not for an injury-hit campaign in 2012/13, it might have been a lot more.

The Argentine striker has also won a Premier League Golden Boot in 2014/15 when he scored 26 league goals. But that season saw Diego Costa (Chelsea) and a young Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur) getting the nod. In other years, he was always second-best to the likes of Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Robin van Persie (Arsenal and Manchester United), Luis Suarez (Liverpool), Jamie Vardy (Leicester City) and even Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool).

This might be the last time we see Aguero in the Premier League with City boss Pep Guardiola preferring a more mobile forward in Gabriel Jesus. It was only the Brazilian’s injury that brought Aguero back into the fold. Will we see a resurgence as he adapts or will he move on?
