With the Premier League season now into its second half, it’s time to pause, cogitate and deliberate on the Prem team of the season so far. In a 4-5-1 formation, this is our selection of star performers – there is no Fabregas, no Gerrard, no Lampard, no Drogba, no Titus Bramble. And that’s mighty refreshing. Feel free to offer up your own XIs, of course…

Ahmed Elmohamady (Sunderland) - A glaring lack of outstanding candidates at right-back, but I've been hugely impressed by Sunderland's Egyptian RB, who can also play as a right winger. He's athletic, has superb ball control, and delivers a mean cross. No wonder Steve Bruce wants to hang on to him.
