Forwards:

Sergio Aguero

The man who will always be remembered for delivering Manchester City their first Premier League title with the most iconic goal in their history, but Aguero has been about so much more than that magic moment back in 2012. That goal brought only one of four titles he has won.

Furthermore, he has managed 20 or more goals in the Premier League in six of his eight full seasons at City. He has been twice the club’s Player of the Year and has earned his place in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year for the last two seasons running.

Harry Kane

As a dreamed centre forward for every team, Harry Kane has proved himself in the past ten years.

Kane’s involvement at Tottenham began to increase following the appointment of Mauricio Pochettino as head coach in 2014.

Kane has won six Premier League Player of the Month awards (one behind record holder Sergio Agüero) and has been selected for the PFA Team of the Year four times. In November 2019, he became Tottenham’s third-highest all-time goalscorer in official competitions.

Midfielders

David Silva

Quite possibly the best player in Premier League history and the architect of four Manchester City title wins, David Silva has seen and done it all in English football, earning plaudits for his guile, creativity and his adaptability.

A key part of the greatest team the Premier League has ever seen, Silva has been a favourite of Pep Guardiola as well as his predecessors Manuel Pellegrini and Roberto Mancini.

Two times in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year and once voted City’s Player of the Season, Silva’s astonishing career has not got the individual recognition it deserves.

Yaya Toure

The capture of Yaya Toure from Barcelona by Manchester City was transformative in the sense that it showed peak talents that they could move to an emerging force and still win.

He would go on to become the centrepiece of two Premier League title-winning sides and earned another as a bit-part player under Pep Guardiola.

Nonetheless, he kick-started City’s era of dominance with a scarcely-believable 20 goals from midfield during the 2013-14 season. He was twice voted into the PFA Premier League Team of the Year and was awarded the title of African Footballer of the Year on two occasions, as well as being named City’s Player of the Year in 2014.

N’Golo Kante

There is no doubt that N’Golo Kante was one of the best signings of this or any decade when Leicester City paid Caen just £5 million for his services in the summer of 2015.

The effect he had for the Foxes in one of the most shocking Premier League title races of all time was profound. He followed that up by claiming the same trophy with Chelsea a year later, before going on to win the World Cup with France.

The Premier League Player of the Season in 2017, the PFA Players’ Player of the Year the same season, twice in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year and once in the FIFPro World XI, Kante has been among the very best midfielders in the world over the past five years.

Eden Hazard

One of the most individually-talented players the league has ever known, Hazard set the Premier League alight for seven years before finally moving to Real Madrid in the summer of 2019.

He has been a Premier League title winner twice, once each under Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte, and has delivered countless golden moments for Chelsea fans throughout his time in the Premier League.

He has been in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year four times and the FIFA FIFPro World XI the last two years running. He has twice been in the UEFA Team of the Year for good measure. In 2015 he was voted both the PFA Players’ Player of the Year and the Premier League Player of the Season.

Defenders

Pablo Zabaleta

Signed the day before the Abu Dhabi United Group completed their Manchester City takeover, the Argentine went on to become a huge fan favourite throughout his near decade at the club.

Amid the pandemonium of City’s title win in 2012, it is easily forgotten that Zabaleta scored the crucial first goal that day. Tireless, combative and utterly committed, Zabaleta won two Premier League titles and a host of other honours with City before leaving for West Ham.

Virgil van Dijk

Scarcely can one signing have transformed a club so utterly as Virgil van Dijk has done for Liverpool. The missing piece of Jurgen Klopp’s jigsaw, he led the Reds to their sixth Champions League title and now finds himself on the path to becoming the finest centre-back to grace the English game since the turn of the century.

Widely respected by players, pundits and managers alike, Van Dijk is the reigning English and European Footballer of the Year. He now only needs a Premier League title to cap off a stunning rise to prominence.

Cesar Azpilicueta

Such is his consistency and versatility that there could be call to include Cesar Azpilicueta in three defensive positions; those of right-back, right-sided centre-back and finally at left-back.

It is in that position where he predominantly played in winning a Premier League title under Jose Mourinho, who once said he’d love “11 Azpilicuetas”, and he added another at centre-back under Antonio Conte.

Goalkeeper

Petr Cech

Cech is considered to be one of the greatest goalkeepers both of his generation and of all time, as well as one of the best keepers in Premier League history, and has earned praise from several players, pundits, and managers due to his goalkeeping ability. 

Cech currently holds two Guinness World Records for the most clean sheets in English Premier League history, and for winning the Premier League Golden Glove Award with two different clubs. 

Goalkeepers such as Nathan Baxter, Martin Dubravka and Marek Rodak have said that they “idolise” him. In 2011, Cech was voted the 3rd best goalkeeper of the first decade of 21st century by IFFHS. Former Premier League striker and record-goalscorer Alan Shearer also named Cech in his Premier League’s Team of the Decade in 2019.
