2015-16 Premier League: Team of the season
The Premier League season is finally done and dusted (except for Manchester United’s match) and it is time to pick the Premier League team of the season. There have been some truly amazing performances this season with some unexpected players taking their game to a whole new level.
The team is predictably dominated by Leicester City players. Leicester City were absolutely magnificent this season and scripted one of sport’s biggest fairytales by winning the Premier League title. This team is filled with players capable of scoring and creating goal scoring chances out of nothing. The defence looks impenetrable and these 11 players were definitely head and shoulders above their compatriots.
We try ti pick the English Premier League team of the season:
Formation ( 4-4-2 diamond)
Goalkeeper – David De Gea (Manchester United)
Manchester United have struggled ever since Sir Alex Ferguson left the club. However, David De Gea has been consistently performing at high levels and has singlehandedly rescued points for the Red Devils on many occasions.
De Gea sometimes has put even Superman to shame with some stunning saves which seem to defy time and gravity. One of the few true superstars in the Manchester United line-up, the Spaniard has already attracted the attention of Spanish superclub Real Madrid.
De Gea’s presence in the team makes a huge difference for Manchester United and he has given some of his best performances against big teams and rivals like Liverpool and Chelsea. The Spaniard’s performance against Chelsea was so good this season, that even Louis Van Gaal who is reluctant to heap individual praise said:
“I have to say he did a couple of saves! I have also said sometimes he is also there to stop shots or headers. But now he was remarkable because they were nearly goals I think. But he did fantastically”.
United will have a tough job keeping De Gea at Old Trafford next season as they have failed to qualify for the Champions League.
