I am sure many of our readers have spent hours killing time, most likely during your school days, creating fantasy XI’s based on a certain criteria. It truly is endless fun.
However, we are upping the ante here at Sportslens, and we have challenged ourselves to compile a 20-man Premier League squad comprised of only one player from each team.
Goalkeepers
Dean Henderson – Nottingham Forest
Kicking things off we have selected new arrival Dean Henderson as Nottingham Forest‘s pick.
While he is only on loan for the upcoming season, the 25-year-old will bring undoubted quality between the sticks for newly promoted Forest.
The year-long spell draws striking comparison to his time at Sheffield United, who upon promotion acquired his services. This resulted in an extended two-year stay at Bramall Lane after establishing himself as one of the most talented shot-stoppers in the league.
Mark Travers – Bournemouth
Another newly-promoted pick, we have Mark Travers representing Scott Parker’s Bournemouth.
The Irishman he signed a new five-year contract with the Cherries this summer after cementing his place as the undisputed number one following Asmir Begovic’s exit at the beginning of last season.
At just 23, Travers has already made his senior debut for the Republic of Ireland and his talents will almost certainly be showcased on the biggest stage next season.
Right-Backs
Reece James – Chelsea
A mainstay in Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea starting 11, Reece James’ rise to the top has been breathtaking.

Already one of the finest players on the planet in his position at just 22, the England international has a Champions League title to his name as well as runners-up medals in the FA Cup and the Euros.
Kevin Mbabu – Fulham
Completing the third and final Premier League newcomer is Kevin Mbabu, who this week was confirmed as Fulham’s latest signing.
You may remember him from a short spell at Newcastle, and while it wasn’t particularly memorable, the Swiss brings a wealth of club and international experience.
It could well be a shrewd acquisition at around £6.4m.
Left Backs
Lucas Digne – Aston Villa
Since arriving in England from Barcelona, successful spells at both Everton and now Aston Villa have allowed France…
