First pick for me is four time league winner and 4th top PL goalscorer of all time, Sergio Aguero.
In my opinion he is one of the greatest PL players of all time and the only striker better than him has been Thierry Henry. Has broken double figures every year he has been in the league and has scored 20+ on six occasions. He really can do it all up front and has adapted his game slightly as he has got older. Pacy, clever, good dribbling, great positioning, works hard, excellent finishing, gets involved in the build up play and has scored many big goals. Delighted to get him as my first pick as he was who I had singled out before the draft draw took place (very lucky to get 2nd pick admittedly!).0 -

This man went to Leicester and helped them win the Premier League. He then went to Chelsea and did it again, as well as picking up the PFA Player of the Year award. He is of course...
N'Golo Kante
Delighted to have him as my team's engine.0 -

Here are some stats for my 1st round draft pick ( A consistent, goal-scoring, leader and focal point for a team):
He has won six Premier League Player of the Month awards (I think there may only be one current player with more)
selected for the PFA Team of the Year four times (4 years in a row)
Premier league golden boot winner twice (back to back years)
Maybe not in the Prem but highlighting his talent he was also the Golden boot winner at the 2018 World Cup.
He is of courseHarry Kane

Top forwards are at a premium, so both my picks are going to be top class attacking wide players.
My first is the player who has probably benefited the most from Pep Guardiola's management of City.
This season is his third in a row breaking double figures for premier league goals, and while he only has 2 assists this season, the previous 3 seasons saw him hit double figures for that stat as well. He has been essential to city's past 2 title winning and record breaking seasons.
Capable of playing anywhere across the front 3 and guarenteed to contribute goals and assists, my first pick is Raheem Sterling.
Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

My Second pick is another flexible attacking player. Capable of hurting teams from out wide or leading the line up top, this player has hit double figures for premier league goals the previous 3 seasons, and having hit 9 so far this season, you would expect him to do it again if the season resumes.
My second pick is Heung-min Son.
Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

Going to really solidify my midfield now and choose someone who’ll allow Silva the creative freedom to pull the strings in front of him, and someone he has outstanding chemistry with on the pitch;
Fernandinho
I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to pair himself and Silva together, two of the finest players in one of the greatest teams ever seen in English football and the numbers of games they’ve played together is in triple figures.0 -

There are two positions that I think need to be prioritized in this draft sue to a combination of their importance to a team and the lack of depth available. That is a star striker (Kane-check) and a star CB that can take on an opponents star striker.... so here we go.
Speaking of the importance of a player to a team, no player seemingly higlighted that more in recent times than this one when his absence due to injury lead to Man City's super expensive defense falling apart.
I am of course talking about...Aymeric Laporte

Going for my front man now and this man has taken to the Premier League like a duck to water since he arrived two seasons ago, proving a nightmare for top 6 sides to deal with. If the rumour mill is to be believed, many big clubs across Europe are preparing to move for him. Introducing...
...Raul Jimenez.
He's not only capable of scoring goals but is one of the best forwards when it comes to assists and general play. He should prove handy.0 -

Jan Vertonghen is my next pick.
A rock of a centre half since joining Spurs in 2012 amassing over 220 Premier League games since, he has been one of the most consistent defenders in the league during that time and named in the team of the season twice, also has become Belgiums most capped player ever which is no mean feat considering the squad they have in the past decade. Great reader of the game and very comfortable on the ball in playing out from defence.0 -

Dele Alli
Difficult pick between a couple but picking Alli for the form he showed in his first two or three years of breaking onto the scene for Spurs. When he played with that level of confidence he was scoring goals at the rate of a centre forward and was fantastic at making late runs and bursts into the box, technically and physically superb, named PFA young player of the year two years running and also got into the team of the year both years. Should be great in behind Aguero and will add goals and some physicality that Aguero might lack.0 -

This man is a two-time Premier League winner, and was voted Chelsea's Player's Player of the Year in 2013-14 by his teammates - a season where they had the best defence in the league, conceding just 27 goals in 38 games.
When Chelsea won the title in 2016-17, he played every minute of every league game, only the fourth outfield player do so for a Premier League winning team.
He has gone on to captain the club and holds the armband to this day. Known as Dave to his mates, he is of course...
...Cesar Azpilicueta.
A dependable defender with leadership qualities, but what I really like about him is that he can play across the back line. That flexibility will hopefully help me as the game progresses.
OGC Nice Guys:
1. N'Golo Kante
2. Raul Jimenez
3. Cesar Azpilicueta0 -

With my 3rd pick (joining Kane & Laporte) I am going to pick someone who I would like to remind you we are judging based on their Premiership peak because unlike now he was a beast then.
In fact during the 2015/2016 season and coming off becoming a World cup winner this player had 16 assists before New Years day even rolled around, including recording assists in seven consecutive matches and in two of those matches he got two assists. Harry Kane is licking his lips just thinking about the delivery he will receive from peak...Mesut Ozil

My third choice will add some steel to my team. (re) joining Chelsea in 2014, this player was ever present in his first full season when Chelsea won the league in 2014/2015 and named in the team of the season. Two seasons later, he was ever present again as Chelsea clinched the title once more under Antonio Conte. He then moved to United and was a key player as they finished 2nd, their best finish since Sir Alex left.
He's past his best now, but in his prime he was one of the best defensive mids around, he is Nemanja Matic .
Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

My fourth choice is one of the most talented young defenders in the Premier league. While he's had issues with injuries, when fit he's proven his worth. This season in particular he played every game as Liverpool went on an incredible 8 game streak without conceding a goal. He's been a big part of their inevitable march towards the title this season adn actually was absent for the one game they lost. My fourth draft pick is Joe Gomez
1. Raheem Sterling
2. Son Heung-min
3. Nemanja Matic
4. Joe GomezCake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

Such is the quality of my next pick that Sarri when at Chelsea preferred him to Kante at the heart of his midfield. Then when that manager departed (and suddenly the player was linked to following him to Juve) he not only kept his place and position under Frank Lampard but had a much improved season and was named Vice Captain. He is the backbone to my team and my spine is now complete, he is...Jorginho
