Leeds United have five players named in the PFA Championship Team of the Year after being crowned league champions on the final day of the season. Joel Piroe is named after a prolific season in front of goal, the Dutchman netted 19 times for Daniel Farke’s side to take home the golden boot.
The performance of Daniel James didn’t go unnoticed by the membership either, as he clocked up 12 goals and nine assists to propel his side back to Premier League football. Jayden Bogle’s excellent debut season for Leeds has been rewarded with a place in the top 11 after making 44 league appearances.
His teammate Junior Firpo is also named after providing four goals and ten assists from left back. The Leeds representation is completed with Japanese international Ao Tanaka. The ever-present midfielder racked up 45 appearances across all competitions during his first season in English football, chipping in with five goals.
Burnley returned to the topflight at the first time of asking and James Trafford unsurprisingly takes his place between the sticks in the player-voted team of the year. The 22-year-old kept a record-breaking 29 clean sheets over the course of the campaign, conceding just 16 goals which set another new EFL record.
He can thank his centre-back pairing of CJ Egan-Riley and Maxime Esteve for their efforts as they take their place in the list alongside him. They’re joined by captain Josh Brownhill who provided 18 goals and six assists in his sixth and final campaign at Turf Moor.
Sheffield United’s Gustavo Hamer makes the cut after an influential campaign in the middle of the pitch for Chris Wilder’s team. The Brazilian had his best goalscoring season to date, reaching double figures.
Borja Sainz completes the nominations after a particularly influential season for Norwich City. The Spanish winger scored 19 goals in all competitions, including two hat-tricks.
