The criteria for selection was that all candidates must have played or managed in the Barclays Premier League throughout 2013, thereby ruling out the likes of Gareth Bale (who was sold by Tottenham Hotspur in the summer), Sir Alex Ferguson (who retired in May), and Dejan Lovren, who signed for Southampton in June.
Everton are the most heavily represented Barclays Premier League club, with four Blues defenders included among the back five, while the peerless 82 points Arsenal amassed during 2013 meant that two players from the North London side made the grade, in addition to their manager Arsene Wenger.
There were also two players selected from both Manchester City - Yaya Toure and Sergio Aguero - and Liverpool - Steven Gerrard and Luis Suarez- and one from the 2012/13 Barclays Premier League champions, Manchester United - Michael Carrick.
