Cole Palmer Omitted from PFA Team of the Year

The omission of Cole Palmer and Bukayo Saka from the PFA Premier League Team of the Year has sparked outrage among fans, especially given Palmer's recent accolade as PFA Men's Young Player of the Year and his impressive tally of 25 goals and assists in his debut season for Chelsea. Despite Palmer contributing significantly with 22 goals and 11 assists, he was not included in the team dominated by Arsenal and Manchester City players, including Phil Foden, who was named Player of the Year. Fans took to social media expressing disbelief, with many deeming the decision 'totally dishonest' and questioning how the top contributors could be overlooked. Saka, who also had a standout season with 20 goals and 14 assists, was similarly excluded, leading to further disappointment among supporters. The final Team of the Year featured players like Erling Haaland, Rodri, and Martin Ødegaard, but the absence of both Palmer and Saka left many feeling that the selection process was flawed. This controversy reflects ongoing debates about the criteria and fairness in such award selections.
