The Professional Football Association have released the 2016/17 edition of their team of the year, with major absentees in Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez.
The likes of Chelsea defender Gary Cahill, N’golo Kante, David Luiz and Eden Hazard made the list while David De Gea is the only United player to make the team.
Second-placed Tottenham Hotspur’s full backs Kyle Walker and Danny Rose also made the team while Harry Kane and Everton in-form striker Romelu Lukaku lead the front-line in what looks like a 4-4-2 formation.
Speaking about the award, PFA CEO Gordon Taylor said: “The PFA Awards is always a special occasion and one of the biggest nights in football’s social calendar.
“For the winners who are honoured at the awards, there can be no greater personal accolade than that of being recognised by your peers; an honour to be cherished.”
However, the absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Alexis Sanchez from the team will be the main point of discourse by pundits and fans, despite making the six-man shortlist for the PFA Player Of the year award.
