Every player named in PFA Team of the Year in PL era…

Ian Watson

The PFA have announced their Premier League Team of the Year, with Paul Pogba inexplicably becoming Manchester United’s 80th representative. United have had twice as many representatives compared to any other club, though the next few years seems as good a time as any for everyone else to catch up.

Steven Gerrard holds the record for the most appearances, with Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs joint second. Prior to this season’s team, Sergio Aguero had received as many nominations as Stig Inge Bjornebye.
