Liverpool dominated the 2022 PFA Awards.
Although the Reds finished second in the Premier League - just one point behind Manchester City - the respect they command from the 19 other top-flight clubs is clear.
Some six players were named in the PFA Team of the Year by their peers.
Alisson Becker, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Thiago Alcantara, Sadio Mane and Mo Salah made the 11-man side.
Indeed, Salah commanded the most esteem as he was voted PFA Players’ Player of the Year.
But according to the boffins at Wyscout - which is the world's leading provider of performance data - the XI should have been different.
Based on the stats, here’s who they think should have made the team.
