RM: Mohamed Salah /// Liverpool /// 2016/17 (Serie A): 31 apps, 15 goals, 11 assists

Last season, Salah lit the Serie A ablaze. His technical ability matched his pace as he blitzed through defenses.

Salah has unfinished business in the Premier League after not getting much of a chance at Chelsea a few years ago, when they beat Liverpool to his signature. He looked a top player in the preseason for Liverpool and continued that form into the opening weekend as he scored on his competitive debut and won a penalty.

With Liverpool playing a false nine, they need goal scoring wingers and Salah is one of the best. He’ll fit right in with his pace, goals and assists, as he created 71 chances in Italy to go along with his 11 assists.

The right side of midfield isn’t as deep as the left, though if two excel on the left, the PFA would make some changes to get the two best wingers in the team. But on the right, the other options are Riyad Mahrez, if he stays at Leicester City, and Xherdan Shaqiri. They could also squeeze the likes of Alli and Christian Eriksen into right midfield as well.

But Salah looks primed to be in the Team of the Season.
