The PFA Player of the Year is chosen by members of the PFA, consisting of current and former footballers and scholars in the Premier League, the FA Women’s Super League and the English Football Leagues, making it the only footballing award voted on by players.

Liverpool dominated with six players in the 4-3-3 formation team despite failing to win the Premier League title following a dramatic last day fixtures; Alisson Becker was chosen ahead of Man City's Ederson Moraes in between the sticks.

Three players came from the eventual champions Man City which includes, Joao Cancelo in the left-back position, Kevin De Bruyne and Bernado Silva in the midfield.

Chelsea and Man United has one player each completing the XI, with Antonio Rudiger in the back-four defence after his stellar season at Chelsea, but has been newly signed by Real Madrid on a free transfer after his contract with the Blues expires at the end of June.

Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo earned his place in attack following a turbulent season after his return to Man United, scoring 18 goals from just 27 starts.

Meanwhile, the biggest surprise was seeing Tottenham Hotspur pair Harry Kane and Heung-min Son conspicuously missing from the PFA Premier League Team of the just concluded season.
