Best Premier League XI of non-top-six sides.
A best Premier League XI made up only of players outside the current ‘top six’, meaning no players at Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool or Tottenham…
GK: Tim Krul (Newcastle)
Not at his best last season as Newcastle struggled, but generally one of the finest goalkeepers in the Premier League over the last few years.
DR: Daryl Janmaat (Newcastle)
A superb signing for the Magpies despite their poor form overall last term, Daryl Janmaat has settled in well in England and looks a well-rounded player at full-back.
DL: Ryan Bertrand (Southampton)
Superb since leaving Chelsea for Southampton, Ryan Bertrand is finally showing the potential that saw him so highly rated as a youngster at Stamford Bridge.

DC: Jose Fonte (Southampton)
One of the best defenders in the country last season, Jose Fonte is another Saints star in this XI, having helped the club to the second-best defensive record in the Premier League in 2014/15.
DC: John Stones (Everton)
Wanted by Chelsea, John Stones has been immense for Everton in recent times and looks one of the best young players in the division right now.
MC: James McCarthy (Everton)
Another superb Everton player on the radar of bigger clubs, James McCarthy has bossed the Toffees’ midfield since joining from Wigan and is supposedly wanted by Arsenal and Tottenham.
MC: Yohan Cabaye (Crystal Palace)
An excellent signing from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, Crystal Palace midfielder Yohan Cabaye was one of the finest in England when he was at Newcastle, and should replicate that at Selhurst Park.
AMR: Xherdan Shaqiri (Stoke)
An exciting buy from Inter Milan, Stoke City have landed a potentially world class talent in Xherdan Shaqiri this summer, even if he didn’t quite find his best form at Bayern Munich or Inter.
AML: Ibrahim Afellay (Stoke)
Another ambitious purchase from Stoke this summer, Ibrahim Afellay has joined from Barcelona and could be superb if he gets over his injury problems.
AMC: Dmitri Payet (West Ham)
A player who already looks a terrific signing, Dmitri Payet has made a great start at West Ham since joining on the back of a fine season for Marseille last term.
FC: Romelu Lukaku (Everton)
One of the best young strikers in Europe, Romelu Lukaku has had a strong couple of seasons for Everton after failing to make the grade at former club Chelsea.

Tim Howard (Everton)
Ashley Williams (Swansea)
Ryan Shawcross (Stoke)
Victor Wanyama (Southampton)
