Formation 4-3-3
(Defence)
GK -Asmir Begovic (Stoke) - Stoke's number 1 is a very common choice in many peoples opinions, and rightly so, he has been very consistent with some outstanding performances to boot. Very reliable and has now attracted attention from the likes of Manchester United with a massive 9 clean sheets under his belt already this season.
LB - Ashley Cole (Chelsea) - In my opinion, one of the best, if not the best, left back in the world and he has been for some time. This choice is a bit more controversial as many claim Baines has overtaken Cole as the best in the Premier league but both players make strong arguments to that. Cole is strong, full of pace and a tremendous all round full back, his ability to recover after the ball has gone behind him is world class and shown through the great number of clearances on the line that he makes.
CB - Ryan Shawcross (Stoke) - Shawcross stands tall as the Stoke captain and proves his ability with Stoke having a stellar defencive record, he has a great aerial presence along with wonderful organisation of his team mates. He's brave and still a young player, with a very bright future in the Premier league.
CB - Jan Vertonghen (Spurs) - Another very common choice amongst these 'in form' teams, the Belgian defender has adapted very well to life in the Premiership and has not only shown his ability to play in the centre of defence but also at left back with some fine attacking play and scoring a couple of vital goals for Tottenham
RB - Pablo Zabaleta (Manchester City) - This was one of the more difficult choices to make, with the likes of Ivanovic, and Glen Johnson putting in some top quality performances. However, Zabaleta has been the most consistent in both attack and defence, providing some world class cover along with a very high work rate to support the wingers and overlap.
