This is my pick of the best players of the 2008-09 EPL season.
First 11
GK- M. Schwarzer. Was the best goalkeeper and didn't have the benefit of the Manchester Untied or Liverpool defenders standing in front of him.
RB- J. Bosingwa. Started the season in great form then had a mid season dip, but recovered most of his form by the end of the season.
CB- Carragher. Another season of consistency from the Liverpool vice-captain.
CB- R. Ferdinand. Showed why he's one of the best defenders in the world. Manchester untied always looked a lot calmer in defence when he played.
LB- P. Evra. Arguably now the best left back in world football.
RM- D. Kuyt. Probably the most underrated player in the EPL. Not as flashy as other players but was very consistent.
CM- F. Lampard. Another great season from Chelsea's number 8.
CM- S. Gerrard. Player of the season.
LM- A. Young. Started the season brilliantly but his form faltered in conjunction with Aston Villa's bad run in the second half of the season.
St- N. Anelka. Started the season extremely well and ended up being the top goalscorer with 19 goals.
St- F. Torres. Injury interrupted season but still had moments of brilliance to show why he's one of the best strikers in the world.
Subs
GK- P. Reina. Another great season from Liverpool's shot stopper who even got an assist.
RB- G. Johnson. A bright spot in disappointing Portsmouth season.
CB- N. Vidic. Started the season well lost a bit of confidence towards the end.
RW- C. Ronaldo. Didn't start the season well but finished strongly.
CM- S. Ireland. Manchester City made some big signings at the start of the season but Ireland's superb form outshone them all.
St- Robinho. Adapt well to the English game in his first season in the premier league.
St- W. Rooney. Had a good season even those he had to play on the left of midfield because of Manchester Untieds lack of options in that position.
