Just a bit of fun, and bearing in mind they had Chelsea to win it and us to finish 6th behind Liverpool. Mostly Leicester but 2 out of 8 pick Spurs while oddly underrepreenting us in their combined XIs.

predictions are always a fun read - whether you agree or not.
Can't believe there was a team of the season selected without any Spurs players.

Lol at the prediction Lollerpool would finish 5th above us....

Was that the one that just had Leicester players?

Anyone who hasn't selected Toby in their team of the year doesn't deserve to be considered a football 'expert'

No - that one i understood what he was trying to portray - i just thought it was extremely cheesy.

Jamie Jackson selected Leicester to win the title and the below was his team of the season:

1 of those picks is a guy picking us as not to jinx Leicester, who then had the whole Leicester team as his TOTS.

Interestingly, noone thinks Arsenal can win it!

Strange that they have practically the whole Leicester defence in there, when Spurs have the best defence in the league!

I didn't notice that one. I can't argue too much with the front five, and our full backs are going to struggle to get into the team of the season as they've been rotated quite a bit. You would have though Toby would be in there though, possibly Jan as well as Leicester couldn't keep a clean sheet for half the season. I'd put Hugo in ahead of cech as well.

Leicester have conceded as many goals as Watford. I don't see any Watford players in there...

I know it's not all about goals conceded, but to have their entire back line there is a bit of a joke.

I think there are a few players that should be in everyone's teams:

Alderweireld
Kante
Özil
Mahrez
Vardy

The rest will understandably differ. My team of the year, would be:

Lloris

Bellerin Alderweireld Vertonghen Fuchs

Kante Dembele

Özil

Mahrez Agüero Vardy​

I think you've pretty much nailed it. But I might have Dier over Kante as he's been, IMO, the best DM in the league.
