Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool stars dominate EA FC 24’s Team of the Season squad… but which Chelsea player is included despite a nightmare first season at Stamford Bridge?

The Premier League’s Team of the Season (TOTS) selection has been confirmed by EA FC 24 and is dominated by players from title contenders Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool.

The three clubs have stormed all the way to the top of the rankings, leading to an exciting title race with three players.

Liverpool were defeated by Merseyside rivals Everton in midweek but still have an outside chance of winning the league and giving Jurgen Klopp a fairytale end to his Anfield reign.

Despite that recent setback, the Reds still have a number of their players in the TOTS squad, including Virgil van Dijk, who is rated 97 alongside City’s Erling Haaland.

Mohamed Salah and Alisson (both 95), Luis Diaz (94) and Alexis Mac Allister (92) also made it.

City lead Liverpool by two points in the Premier League with a game in hand, but they have one player less in the TOTS squad.

Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne (both 96) and Phil Foden (94) join Haaland in the team.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are going for their first league title in twenty years and it looks like City will go all the way.

They have been rewarded with five stars from EA FC 24 for another great season.

Declan Rice leads the way with a rating of 96, closely followed by Bukayo Saka (95), William Saliba (94) plus Gabriel and Ben White (both 91).

The gaming giants have awarded five places in the TOTS Moments category, with De Bruyne and Diaz earning their places.

Another player who could benefit from this category is Chelsea striker Christopher Nkunku, despite his nightmare first season at Stamford Bridge.

Nkunku joined Chelsea last summer after signing for £53million but has only started two games all season after an injury-hit season.

He scored twice for the Blues, but both goals came at a loss.

However, he has still been part of the squad and has been given a rating of 92.

He is joined in the squad by Cole Palmer – the only bright spot in Chelsea’s disappointing season – while there is also room for Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins and Tottenham captain Son Heung-min.

Alejandro Garnacho is the sole representative of Manchester United in the TOTS Moments category, along with Brighton defender Pervis Estupinan.

A WSL TOTS squad has also been released, and it is Chelsea and England star Lauren James who has the highest rating of 97.

Unsurprisingly, it is Chelsea and City’s players who dominate the table, with the title race between the two clubs hanging in the balance.

Chelsea are represented by Sam Kerr and Niamh Charles, while Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw, Lauren Hemp, Alex Greenwood, Chloe Kelly and Khiara Keating have been picked for City.

There is also a place for Arsenal and England striker Alessia Russo.

More players are expected to appear in the coming week as Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) and Objectives.
