What a season!

The 2025-26 season is about to come to a conclusion, which means it's a good time to take a look back at the entire campaign and acknowledge the best of the year that's been in the English top-flight.

With another thrilling and dramatic season in the Premier League, we are bringing you our team of the season.

Goalkeeper: David Raya (Arsenal)

The Gunners boast the best defensive record in the league with only 26 goals allowed and Raya between the sticks is a major factor to that.

The Spaniard has been outstanding in games this season and might have produced one of the most important saves of the year against West Ham. (You can see the save below).

Right back: Jurrien Timber (Arsenal)

Although injured for the last seven Premier League games, the Dutchman has been a main stay on the right-hand side of Arsenal's defence. The defender has also produced at the top end of the pitch providing three goals and five assists.

Centre back: William Saliba (Arsenal)

There's an argument to be made that Saliba is the best defender in the world, and his presence at the back has been invaluable to the Gunners.

Centre back: Gabriel (Arsenal)

The Brazilian has been one of the best players of the season, let alone defenders. The Sao Paulo native has scored three crucial headers off corners this season while also producing four assists.

Left back: Nico O'Reilly (Man City)

Undoubtably the breakout player of the season, O'Reilly has been superb playing at centre midfield. However, the Mancunian's best performances this season have come from the left side of Man City's defence, making decisive late runs in to the oppositions box.

Centre midfielder: Declan Rice (Arsenal)

Arsenal's metronome in the middle has carried on his impressive form from season and has become the captain without the armband for Arsenal.

The 27-year-old has bossed the midfield this year, mixing powerful runs with set-piece brilliance to catapult Arsenal to the Premier League title.

Not many would have complaints if he wins the PFA Player of the Year over Bruno Fernandes.

Centre midfielder: Bernardo Silva (Man City)

With the departure of Kevin De Bruyne last summer, Bernardo Silva was tasked with leading a midfield that many argued needed a rebuild. And with Rodri missing half of the season through injury, responsibility rested with Silva.

The diminutive midfielder responded with aplomb for the Citizens with strong work rate matched with superb technical ability.

Attacking midfielder: Jeremy Doku (Man City)

Doku may be the trickiest player in the Premier League.

The Belgian's silky skills have opened many opportunities for his teammates around him while the winger has also produced a compilation of fantastic outside-the-box curlers.

Attacking midfielder: Bruno Fernandes (Man United)

The Man United captain has often played consistently above the ability of his teammates around him in the past.

However, this season, and in particular its second-half, the Portuguese creator has enjoyed playing in a more expansive set-up, seeing him fight to break Thierry Henry's and Kevin de Bruyne's assist record.

Striker: Igor Thiago (Brentford)

The Brazilian's first full season in England could not have gone any better, as he sits second in the Golden Boot race and has played his way onto Carlo Ancelotti's Seleção in the process.

Striker: Erling Haaland (Man City)

Yet another season with the big Norwegian leading the scoring charts.

While Haaland has battled with inconsistency at times, the overall picture still shows the 25-year-old as the best goalscorer in the Premier League.

The striker has also registered eight assists this term, the highest total for a centre forward in the league.
