- Man City trio dominate voting
- Nico O’Reilly secures his place
- Erling Haaland leads the fan lineup
Manchester City superstars Erling Haaland, Antoine Semenyo, and Nico O’Reilly have officially locked in their places in the star-studded 2025/26 Premier League Fan Team of the Season.
The fan-voted initiative gives supporters across the globe the ultimate power to choose the most impactful performers from the domestic calendar.
Despite City agonizingly missing out on the league title to Arsenal, the voting numbers proved the fans’ immense respect for the squad.
The inclusion of Haaland as their lethal striker up front comes as absolutely no surprise to the footballing world after another clinical campaign in front of goal.
However, it is the incredible inclusion of his fellow City teammates that has caught the eye today.
Premier League confirms official voting results
The academy graduate, O’Reilly’s meteoric rise into the fan-voted elite squad caps off what has been a truly career-changing season under the bright lights.
This voting was just the cherry on top after he received the Premier League’s youngest player of the season award and City’s player of the season award.
He lines up in the backfield alongside the Prem winners this season.

Full XI: Raya; Timber, Gabriel, Saliba, O’Reilly; Rice, Szoboszlai, Fernandes; Thiago, Haaland, Semenyo.
The Premier League officially revealed the complete, star-studded XI following an intense week of voting across their digital platforms.
“Nico O’Reilly, Antoine Semenyo, and Erling Haaland have all been named in the 2025/26 Premier League Fan Team of the Season.
The Full XI: Raya; Timber, Gabriel, Saliba, O’Reilly; Rice, Szoboszlai, Fernandes; Thiago, Haaland, Semenyo.”
The tactical anomaly of City’s double-threat attack
What makes this fan-voted lineup so incredible is that it essentially features an all-Manchester City frontline following Antoine Semenyo’s explosive impact since his £65 million January move from Bournemouth.
The fans heavily rewarded the rapid understanding he has developed alongside Haaland in an incredibly short space of time.
This voting pattern highlights a surprising, radical shift in how modern football fans evaluate attacking partnerships. Rather than selecting traditional, established wingers, the voters prioritized raw, transitional power and absolute directness on the flanks.
Deploying Semenyo and Haaland together mirrors the advanced tactical tweaks the club used throughout the grueling second half of the campaign. And that chemistry was on show against Chelsea in the FA Cup final, when the two combined before Semenyo scored the winner.
Erling Haaland’s relentless dominance on the big stage
For Haaland, securing his spot at the absolute tip of the attack is becoming a standard annual formality for the Norwegian striker.
His terrifying physical presence and relentless movement off the ball ensured he remained an absolute nightmare for opposition central defenders all year. He finished the season with 27 goals and 8 assists. Another season, another PL golden boot for the talisman. That’s 3 in 4 seasons already.
As the squad heads into a heavily disruptive summer break, these individual accolades offer a brief moment of celebration for the Sky Blues. The foundations are firmly set, and the fan support remains completely unbreakable as the rebuild officially gets underway.
