poor old anelka. he has something like 14 league goals and he still doesnt get a mention, what does this guy have to do?? he has always scored goals at every prem club he has been at. great player imo and certainly should walk into a prem 11, as should robinho and alonso. boswinga is the only rb you can pick. possobly ireland too and young. after that is when opinions should come into imo. these players all should walk in to your teams..well the first 4 anyway

Subs: Myhill, Arbeloa, Vidic, Lampard, Gerrard, Agbonlahor, Malbranque

Not sure about the keeper, maybe Freidel instead, but apart from that you've probably got it spot on.

im a villa fan, but no

no no

he hasnt been anywhere up to his usual high standards this term. he hasnt been bad or anything, but the level of confidence around him among the defence doesnt seem to be as high as it should (i suspect because hes taken to parrying shots far too often)

Bounty Hunter

okay ill give this another try. Here are the players that I think have to be included given how they have preformed comparable to those in their positions this season.

RB/RWB:Bosingwa
CM/DM:Alonso
CM/AM:Ireland
LM:A.Young
AMRLC/CF:Robinho
CF:Anelka

the rest are arguable but to partner the Elk up front would have to be either Agbonlahor or Zaki for me.

CB is a tough one as a number of teams have had great defensive records while some of the lesser teams i.e Hull/Fulham have had imense performances in defence and my first choice is from one of those... Brede Hangeland

partnering him could be anyone from Vidic, Carragher, Terry, Turner, etc as imo CB really is the one position where most people will differ and not agree with each other and i dont know if anyone will agree with my all scandanavian CB pairing but id plump for Aston Villa captain Martin Laursen.

that leaves only 2 positions GK and LB and imo no players in these two positions have really stood out as being better than the others/most impressive so far so its kinda like CB where a number of players might be selected but for less positive reasons but me im going to pick Evra and Reina in my side.

so the completed side is:

..........................Reina....................

Bosingwa...Hangeland...Laursen.....Evra

.........................Alonso................
Robinho.............S.Ireland.......A.Young

............Agbonlahor.......Anelka..........

Im with Tusky also. Hardest position to pick was left back I think as nobody as really starred there so far this season.
Geovianni unlucky to miss out.
M Laursen - Player of Season
S Ireland - Young Player of Season

im a villa fan, but wtf?

Thing about Liverpool is that I wouldn't say any one of their players is outstanding, they are all just really playing well. It's a team effort. I think United and Chelsea have been dragged through by individual performances.

Alonso has been good, and i've watched most of Liverpools matches this year, but imo Ireland and Lampard have been better. Especially, Ireland, who has been dragging City through games.

Ferdinand imo has been holding the United defence together this year on his own, especially with the dodgy form of Vidic next to him, and Neville/Rafael/Brown all inter-changing.

As for the Robinho vs. Ronaldo debate, I'd think Robinho has pretty much been a striker this year, and I think ANelka has certainly been better than him, and I think Agbonlahor has too, albeit just.

I think you will find that he is in nearly every team of the season posted here so far.

Robinho hasn't played as a 'striker' once this season. In fact, he plays the exact same role as Ronaldo - the left side of a 3 man strike force in a 4-3-3.

Fair enough you have some loyalty or bias to Ronaldo but you can't make up where Robinho has played in a bid to justify not picking him.

but hes hardly player of the season

hes not even been villas best player

petrov and young have been more important for us this season than laursen, arguably gabby too

im not saying he isnt deserving of everyones team of the year place, but hes not the player of the season, thats just insane

tomred1

Petrov has been ok this season but still behind Barry, Young, Laursen, Gabby performances.
My Team
Given
Sagna Laursen Turner Carra

Young Valanica Ireland Barry

Arbeloa----Carragher-Hyppia

Mascherano-Alonso

Lets agree to disagree. You seem to be the only person upset about my opinion so it must have merit with others. You named 3 players above that blow hot and cold and Laursen is in a completely different league.

Helix

petrov hasnt had a bad game for us this season

the 2 matches he was out for, we lost, which says it all imo

and the villa lads will tell you ive been one of his harshest critics in seasons past
