PFA Team of the Year: Alternative XI with only one player from each Premier League club selected

The PFA Team of the Year has been revealed and two clubs are dominant in those selected for the XI.

Four players apiece from Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur – first and second in the Premier League – have been picked, while Arsenal and Manchester City are without a single inclusion.

So this got us thinking: if only one player from each side could be selected, how would the XI look?

talkSPORT has put together an alternative PFA Team of the Year – check it out by scrolling through the gallery above!

Who do you think should or should not have made the team? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

11 1. Goalkeeper: Tom Heaton (Burnley) – click the arrow above, right, to take a look at an alternative PFA Team of the Year in full – Heaton has been outstanding for Burnley this season, making more saves than any other goalkeeper (125) and keeping a hugely impressive nine clean sheets, including one at Old Trafford. Theres certainly a case for Heaton deserving to be in the team ahead of David De Gea.

11 2. Right back: Antonio Valencia (Manchester United) – Jose Mourinhos most trusted of players this season. Without question among the best right-backs in the league, Valencia has become somewhat of an unsung hero to Manchester United. Effective in defence and a threat in attack, hes the complete package in this role. This term might have been his best for the club.

11 3. Centre back: Virgil van Dijk (Southampton) – Van Dijk hasnt played since 22nd January having sustained an ankle injury, but he hasnt been forgotten. His form for Southampton had been outstanding and they have, predictably, missed him at the back. Despite a spell away from the pitch, interest in his signature might remain high in the summer.

11 4. Centre back: Ben Gibson (Middlesbrough) – It's a real shame Boro haven't put as much effort into attacking as they have defending this season. Only five clubs  all in the top seven  have conceded less than Steve Agnews side. Gibson has been at the very heart of an excellent back line and with relegation likely, the centre-back could push to leave the Riverside Stadium in the summer and remain in the top flight.

11 5. Left back: Jose Holebas (Watford) – Holebas has his faults defensively, but going forward hes been vital to Watford. Hes a threat on the left flank and has missed only three games, starting 29 in the league. His attitude on the pitch has made him a favourite with a Vicarage Road faithful, even if his passion often gets his name in the book.

11 6. Right midfield: Sadio Mane (Liverpool) – It might only be his first season at Anfield, but already Mane has become a key player to Liverpool. Hes the clubs top scorer, with 13, and will be sorely missed while out with a knee injury, particularly with the race for the top four hotting up.

11 7. Centre midfield: Gylfi Sigurdsson (Swansea City) – Theres no chance Sigurdsson will drop to the Championship with Swansea, surely. The Iceland international is among the best playmakers in the Premier League and is enjoying, certainly stats-wise, one of the finest campaigns of his career. With eight goals and 11 assists, its hard to believe hes plying his trade in a team battling relegation.

11 8. Centre midfield: N'Golo Kante (Chelsea) – The title is far from being done and dusted for Chelsea, but Kante might have had the PFA Players Player of the Year award in the bag for a while. After a few nervy opening weeks of settling into a new team, the Frenchman returned to the form that was pivotal in Leicesters triumph last season. Finally recognition is widespread.

11 9. Left midfield: Leroy Sane (Manchester City) – It was a slow start to life in Manchester for Sane, but he has firmly established his place under Pep Guardiola. His pace has transformed Citys attack and at only 21, worryingly for his rivals, he should get even better next season. £37m looks a steal for the Germany international.

11 10. Forward: Romelu Lukaku (Everton) – As his many public comments over his ambition illustrate, Lukaku isnt short on confidence. Perhaps rightly so, as the Belgium international has been involved in 30 goals this season, 24 scored and six assisted, in what has been his most prolific campaign. It will be a challenge for Everton to keep hold of him in the summer transfer window.
