    Despite there being 12 games left of the season in the Premier League, the PFA team of the year has already been voted upon with the ballot held around January/February time. This tends to cause a skew in the choice of players, however with this period coinciding with Saints recent good fortunes this could give the players a good chance of being selected.

    At this stage of the season it seems likely that there will be players from a more varied selection of clubs than there has been for many years. Who do you think should be in the team this year (4-4-2), based on performances up until now?

    Here is my selection:
    GK Lloris (Tottenham)
    DR Walker (Tottenham)
    DC Alderweireld (Tottenham)
    DC Shawcross (Stoke)
    DL Bertrand (Southampton)
    MR Mahrez (Leicester)
    MC Kante (Leicester)
    MC Ozil (Arsenal)
    ML Payet (West Ham)
    SC Vardy (Leicester)
    SC Lukaku (Everton)

    subs: Butland (Stoke), van Dijk (Southampton), Dier (Tottenham), Alli (Tottenham), Willian (Chelsea), Ighalo (Watford), Kane (Tottenham)

    Here is last years team (it should be a bit different!): http://www.thepfa.com/news/2015/4/26/premier-league-team-of-the-year-2015

    Gk: Can't pick between Schmeichel, Cech or De Gea
    Dr: Bellerin
    CB: Toby
    CB: Koscielny
    DL: Monreal
    Rw: Mahrez
    Cm: Kante
    Cm: Drinkwater

    Bellerin is a good shout, not sure about Kolscieny in recent months though!

    GK - De Gea - tricky one, but he puts in most matching saving displays
    RB - Bellerin
    CB - Toby
    CB - Van Dijk
    LB - Monreal
    MR - Mahrez
    MC - Kante (c) - my player of the season
    MC - Alli
    ML - Payet
    SC - Vardy
    SC - Lukaku

    If it was not restricted to 4-4-2 I would have Willian or Ozil in for Lukaku. Fuchs was close to the LB spot and Ighalo has had a good season, but can't ignore Vardy

    Apparently they usually pick a 4-4-2 formation which makes it harder!
