OCUK Premier League Team of the Season

BaZ87 · 12 May 2022 at 14:16

In preparation for the season ending and to give us something to argue about, at least for a little while, in the close season I thought we could vote on our Premier League team of the season.

In this thread people can nominate players for any or all positions (we'll be picking a 4-3-3) and I'll then draw up a shortlist for each position based on how many nominations players get and we can put each position to a vote. For CB's and CM's, we'll pick the top 2 or 3 picks for our team. To kick things off I'll list a few obvious candidates for each position:

GK: Alisson, Raya
RB: Trent, James, Walker, Cash
CB: VVD, Matip, Dias, Thiago Silva
LB: Cancelo (you all thought I was going to say Robertson!), Robertson, Cucurella
CM: KDB, Bernardo, Rodri, Ward-Prowse, Gallagher, Maddison
RF: Salah, Bowen
LF: Son, Saka, ASM
CF: Ronaldo, Foden

Coach: Klopp

LF: Saka (I know, he's played right more, but they're basically interchangeable right?!)
CF: Foden (squeezing him in slightly, but he's played here a bit!)

There can be plenty of flexibility with the forwards. We could even put them all into one category and take the top 3.

Well this has gone well, you miserable ****ers

At this rate I'll just pick the Liverpool team and be done with it.

I don't really watch enough of other teams to contribute really.

Are you suggesting there's no Utd players worthy of a spot?

I see Liverpool fans have become so arrogant that they only pick a team with 8 players.

I have been over this once already

I wasn't picking a team, I was simply nominating 1 player per position to start the ball rolling. Once we have a few nominees for each position I'll then start a vote so we can choose between x and y for whatever role.

Anymore nominations? I'll start threads to vote on each position after the final game of the season.

Can you stick a manager in as well or separate thread after the CL final?

No problem with having a manager too. I've added the obvious candidate to the OP.

Any more nominations for the 3 midfield, 3 forward positions and the coach before I start the polls for them.

I almost forgot about this. All the polls have now ended at the OCUK PL Team of the Season is:

GK: Alisson - 76.8% of the vote
RB: Trent - 63.6%
CB: VVD - 70.8%
CB: Dias - 35.4%
LB: Cancelo - 50%
CM: KDB - 87.5%
CM: Fabinho - 37.5%
CM: Gallagher - 29.2%
FWD: Salah - 67.6%
FWD: Son - 94.1%
FWD: Bowen - 44.1%

10 of the 11 I voted for so I shouldn't complain too much but Dias was very lucky to get in.
