The PFA Team of the season featured several big names and also missed out on a number of stars

Despite not going all the way to win the 2023/24 Premier League title, Arsenal can take solace in knowing that up to five of their players were named in the PFA Team of the Season.

Arsenal dominate PFA TOTS

Five Arsenal stars, including goalkeeper David Raya, defenders William Saliba, and Gabriel Magalhaes, as well as midfielders Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard, were named in the PFA Team of the Season as the Gunners dominated the awards.

Thanks to their five representatives, the Gunners had more players than any other club in the Premier League Team of the Season, with Champions Manchester City only managing four players.

What a team.

Kyle Walker, Rodri, Erling Haaland, and Phil Foden were the only players from the reigning Champions who were included in the Team of the Season. Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins and Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk were the only players on the team outside of last season’s top two.

Big stars missing from PFA TOTS

Despite the quality of players included in the PFA Team of the Season, there were still other big names omitted from the all-star squad, including Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka , who scored 16 goals and provided nine assists.

Bukayo Saka netted the winner for Arsenal.

In addition to Saka, Manchester City’s trio of captain Kevin de Bruyne, Ruben Dias, and Josko Gvardiol were also missing, as well as Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, who was impressive for the Red Devils last season.
