Troy Deeney unveiled his Premier League team of the season, sparking debate among fans. His picks spotlight Arsenal’s surge and individual brilliance across the league. The selections underline how a few standout performers can tilt a title race and set the tone for the season again this year.

David Raya earned a spot for his triple‑golden glove streak, a key factor in Arsenal's title win. Bruno Fernandes broke the assists record with 21, steering United back to Champions League contention. Igor Thiago's 22 goals made him the first Brazilian to cross the 20‑goal mark in the competition this.

Other inclusions read like a season narrative: Michael Kayode’s 21‑year‑old defensive mastery at Brentford, William Saliba’s positional intelligence, and Gabriel's set‑piece threat underpin Arsenal's title. Nico O’Reilly’s dual‑position play for City and Jarrod Bowen’s 20 Premier League points for a relegated West Ham highlight individual impact for the season again.

Deeney’s list also honors managerial influence, with Mikel Arteta credited for reviving Arsenal’s fortunes after a turbulent period. The selections offer a snapshot of the league’s most decisive performers and hint at how the next campaign might unfold, especially for clubs riding on newly discovered talent in the season ahead.
