The Unfortunate XI: Premier League's alternative team of the year

#2 Right-back: Nathaniel Clyne (Southampton)

Ronald Koeman's maiden campaign at the St Mary's stadium could have scarcely gone better and that success has largely been founded on the triumphs of a defence that has shipped just 26 goals all season. Right-back Nathaniel Clyne has been an instrumental figure throughout.

Clyne's defensive qualities have been supplemented by a willingness to get forward and those attacking contributions have been rewarded in the form of two goals.

The 24-year-old's brilliance has seen him earn 4 England caps and also garnered him huge interest from Manchester United. He has also caught our attention too – a definite inclusion in our mythical XI.
