CB - Richard Dunne (Aston Villa) 2009/10
Don't get mad. We all know how much of hero Dunne is. His performance against Russia will go down in Irish sporting folklore for generations and he was legitimately one of the best centre-backs that campaign.
But, you've probably already seen the memes floating around Twitter comparing their goalscoring records. Aguero has 100 Premier League goals to his name, whereas Dunne notched up 10 own goals.
CB - Fabricio Coloccini (Newcastle United) 2011/12
Another player who was deserving of the award at the time, but considering how his career has gone (admittedly, injury has hampered him quite a bit) we feel like he deserves a spot in this team too. Also, we can only assume that while on duty for Argentina he was able to rub his TOTY appearance in his compatriot's face.
Wouldn't you do that to Aguero if you could?
LB - Danny Rose (Tottenham Hotspur) 2015/16
Danny Rose is a perfectly fine left back who had a decent season for Spurs, but was he really more deserving of the left-back spot than Christian Fuchs, Nacho Monreal and Aaron Cresswell?
RM - Nani (Manchester United) 2010/11
Yep.
CM - Scott Parker (Tottenham Hotspur) 2011/12
This was the the era where Premier League football writers lost their shit over Scott Parker. It might have been the fact that he was English or it could have been the black boots and straight-back-and-sides haircut, but somehow he managed to make the Team of the Year that season, a year after he was awarded the FWA Player of the Year.
CAM - Shaun Wright-Phillips (Manchester City) 2004/05
After running into problems with strikers (generally strikers who are good at their job and score lots of goals making the cut), we've decided to implement a 4-5-1 formation.
There was some serious competition for the right winger spot, but we just had to include Shaun Wright-Phillips. So we decided to go full Garth Crooks and play him out of position. In our defence, he has technically played in a more central role before.
CM - Samir Nasri (Arsenal) 2010/11
Once he was one of the most promising midfielders in the league, now he's one of the most lavishly paid benchwarmers in the world.
LM - Kieron Dyer (Newcastle United) 2002/03
Sadly, he'll probably be best remembered for throwing a haymaker at his teammate Lee Bowyer during a league game against Aston Villa in 2005.
ST - Andy Johnson (Crystal Palace) 2004/05
Far and away the second best striker after Thierry Henry that season, but in his heart of hearts, Johnson must know he could never hold a candle to Aguero, even during his pomp.
