Goalkeeper Shay Given (Man City) I fancy Shay to get plenty of chances to showcase his talents for Man City-outside the Top 4, Tim Howard could be the best of the rest.
Right Back Bacary Sagna (Arsenal). If it wasn't for injury last year, he was probably the best right back in the premiership. One of Wegner's better 'unknowns'.
Left Back Ashley Cole (Chelsea) I fancy Cashley to finally start to fully deliver for Chelsea-there were signs of this last year, but Evra's form was too good to ignore.
Centre Back Nemanja Vidic (Man Utd). A shaky end to the season nothwithstanding, there are few better.
Centre Back Jolean Lescott (Everton) He might not be on Merseyside when the season starts, and if he does end up at the City of Manchester Stadium, all bets are off.
Midfield Steven Gerrard (Liverpool) Now that the court case has been settled, and as Liverpool have done little or nothing in the transfer market this summer, expect Gerrard to have to contribute handsomely again this season.
Midfield Michael Essien (Chelsea) Were it not for so much time lost to injury, and the sentimental nonsense that saw Ryan Giggs make the team last year, then Essien should have been named to this team-he will be key to Chelsea's title challenge on 2009/10.
Midfield Cesc Fabregas (Arsenal) Another who lost too much time last year, but on his day, he is probably the most complete player in the Premiership.
Forward Andrei Arshavin (Arsenal) Only a cameo at the end of last season, but there's no doubting his talent.
Forward Fernando Torres (Liverpool) Assuming he stays free from injury, I think it's safe to give Fernando the number 9 shirt.
Forward Michael Owen (Man Utd) Not since Ruud van Nistlerooy left have Man Utd had such an out-and-out goalscorer. Someone will have to fill the void left by Ronaldo in the goalscoring stakes, Owne should get plenty of chances to do just that.
Player of the Year Fernando Torres
Young Player of the Year Stephen Ireland (Man City)-who will be 23 (and thus qualify as 'young player' for 2009/10).
I'll revisit this topic again in April and see how wrong I turn out to be in practice.
