But any three of those would be ahead of Ashley Young.


Ashley Young has been one of the best players in the EPL this season and fully deserves recognition. He is one of the main reasons behind Villa's good season. He must surely be leading the way in assists. Ronaldo is the only midfielder I would say has had a better season.


Cesc Fabregas = 20 assists, 7 goals
Ashley Young = 17 assists, 7 goals

The next closest are Berbatov, Gerrard, and Rooney with 11 a piece.

So in other words, put Arsenal and United together and you have your PFA Premier League Team Of The Year.

Almost two thirds of the squad is from Arsenal (4) or United (3). Not much of a variety there when 7 players out of 11 are from two teams.

And you can add the two Liverpool players into the mix if you want and that'll make 9 players out of 11 (little over 80%) coming from 3 teams.

i have absolutely no idea who arranges or votes on these awards ...it would seem logical to have the decision based on the whole season or at least up to march/april . I mean Fabregas played superbly up until the new year ....did that ensure his place in the team .....who else has played better up until then .

But , if the result is up until january then the result are mostly correct in my opinion .

It is only natural some of us will disagree though with the experts opinion . Wink

Who are these "experts" though.
If they are anything like the BBC's expert, Steve McClaren, then no wonder they know f*ck all!

20 goals placing him 2nd in the list of top coring midfielders
11 assists (in just the league) placing him 3rd overall

Of course there were the customary wonder goals, and let's not forget the crucial late strike against Inter, as well as numerous other important goals.

Just a thought before I go off and watch the Champions League semi final....

Wes Brown has played at right back all season with Gary Neville being out injured
and done far more than Sagna of Arsenal in my opinion to deserve a place in the PFA team....
He has earned himself a new contract with Man U and played for England also in that position!

He has been good this season, but no way has he been better than Sagna.

Brown gets caught out quite a lot. Against Chelsea didn't he get skinned? Or was it the game before?

If Gerrard's done nothing than neither has Fabregas.

But that said Young is picked for the left-wing, Gerrard isn't. They aren't really competing.

I think both Gerrard and Fabregas should be out of that side.

To many people put Brown down alot. Think he does a good job at right back since Neville has been out. I feel if Sir Alex has confidence in Brown for all these years he surely cant be that bad. To say Sagna has had a better season than Brown im not to sure.

What has Sagna did to make that team bar play steady and simple football yet his team doing only ok compared to Brown at Man United

Wes Brown is being rated higher because of the strength and record of the other defender in the back 4. But fair play to the lad, he has done very well, that much is obvious, otherwise Man U wouldn't have such a good defensive record.

If I were a Liverpool supporter, I would put Ryan Babel ahead of Steven Gerrard right now.

Evra over Clichy. Other than that it's a fair pick.
