Another exciting season of the English Premier League comes to an end. Many new signings made an instant impact and many old ones flourished as expected. But it all comes down to who was the best among all!
Its time for us to give you the Fantasy Transfer Tips Dream Team XI for this season. The selections are not based on FPL performance but on the contribution of the players on the pitch. Hope you'll enjoy the article.
David de Gea: Yes! You read it right! De Gea might not have had the best start to the season but as the time went by, he improved his performance and made some outstanding saves that helped United win the title. Manchester United had a very sloppy defense this season and were the first to concede a lot of times due to that. Sir Alex looked to be experimenting different tactics to make it right by rotating his defenders and goalkeepers. But when called upon, DDG made some exceptional saves to the shots fired by the opposition, many of which looked a certain goal. At times it even looked funny as he used his long legs in the process. Hart might have won the golden glove again but apart from a few matches, I hardly saw him performing at the top level this season.
Leighton Baines: When it comes to performing at the top level, you can't deny Baines. He is regarded as one of the best left backs in the league and was targeted by many big clubs including Manchester United at the start of the season.
No wonder he has amazing attacking skills that reflects in his killer crosses and powerful shots and is equally good at tracking back the opponents. He ended the season perfectly with 11 CS, 5 goals and 7 assists to his name.
Ivanovic: He is famous for a right-back role in the past but he performed equally strong as a centre-back this season. He made some crucial interceptions with his last ditch tackles to deny the opposition a lot of times and his aerial abilities on set-pieces is exceptional, regardless of whether he is defending or attacking.
He has come to the rescue for Chelsea a number of times this season not only with his defending but with his attacking abilities as well.
Jamie Carragher: Some of you might suggest there are better CBs in the league, but I do not see anybody outperforming him this season. The top CBs like Vidic, Vermaelen, Kompany,Terry, etc. have all either underperformed or played very less this season.
When Jamie started the season, he often looked like he lacked pace and judgement at times. But soon he replaced Skrtel and gave the messed up error-prone Liverpool defense an organization. He was very influential and was there to keep it tight at the back single handed when Liverpool's attack minded defense consisting of Johnson, Enrique and Agger went forward.
Zabaleta: It was very close to call between him and Rafael as both are absolutely exceptional in their own ways going forward. But when it comes to tracking back and defending, Zabaleta edges him out.
Bale: With a number of awards including PFA player of the year and PFA young player of the year to his name, I don't think I need to describe his abilities to you. He has helped Spurs get all three points several times this season with his solo performance and many have even called Tottenham a "one man team" due to that. Let us hope we can see him in EPL next season despite of Spurs failing to get a CL place.
Cazorla: He is an absolute gem for the Arsenal team. He can foresee the situations and his beautiful through balls in the final third has helped the team get three points a number of times this season. He is not only good at passing but his long range shots and his ability on set-pieces has made him a fan-favorite.
Juan Mata: He has had an "AWESOME" season is all what I can say. He looks to be all over the defense when Chelsea go forward and no wonder he has scored 11 times and provided the assist 18 times this season. An exceptional stat that reflects how good he is.
Walcott: He has improved his finishing a lot as he got matured and now is the best right winger in England. Moreover, he has performed fantastic when called upon to play as a striker this season and his set-piece duty has offered him plenty of goals and assists. He completes our four man midfield.
Van Persie: He is the man that lead the attacking line of the current champions and helped them to the glory. His performance has helped SAF get his 13th EPL title. He has scored the highest number of goals in EPL this season and his set-pieces, esp. free-kicks, has helped United make a crucial comeback victory over a number of oppositions.
Suarez: The last man to complete our list. He might be hated by most for his actions on the pitch but if we look at his control on the football, there would be hardly anyone who would hate him for that. He is so tricky and unpredictable and he pisses off the opposition by adding a nutmeg at times. It would have been a joy to watch the race for the golden boot if the controversy and the eventual suspension had not happened.
So, there it goes! The Fantasy Transfer Tips Team of the Season!
Let us know what you think of it. We would love to hear your views through the comments.
