La Liga Team of the Season nominees announced – major forward snub likely

La Liga have announced the nominees for their team of the season, which will be put to a vote, as they partner with EA Sports for said vote.

Predictably, Real Madrid and Barcelona have a strong presence in the nominations. Barcelona lead the way with a remarkable nine players in the nominations, while Real Madrid are narrowly behind with eight. Atletico Madrid come away with just four nominations, although Antoine Griezmann would likely be in with a shout were it a player of the season vote.

Only three teams did not manage a nominee, those being Almeria, Real Valladolid and Elche.

The likes of Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen and Marcos Acuna can count themselves unlucky not to have made the side, although it may be that they were operating on a threshold of minutes.

Fans can vote for their own team of the season, constructing an XI in a 4-3-3 formation, where the players with the most votes at each position will be selected. The four players with the most votes outside of the XI will form a bench.
