That’s it! The 2025/26 Premier League season is over. Arsenal have won the title, Tottenham Hotspur have narrowly avoided relegation, while West Ham United have been condemned to the depths of the Championship.
Who made it into our final Premier League team of the week? With big wins for Manchester United, Arsenal and Aston Villa, there were plenty of top players to choose from, but who were included in our last cut?
GK: Mads Hermansen
Considering West Ham’s relegation at the conclusion of the final day, it seems odd to put Mads Hermansen in this XI – he won’t be the only Hammers player to be included, either.
West Ham largely dominated Leeds United, though the Whites were able to rattle off a few shots on target – nevertheless, Hermansen was equal to everything they could throw at him.
RB: Pedro Porro
This was a do or die game for Tottenham. A point would’ve guaranteed their safety, but they went one step beyond and defeated Everton to secure their Premier League status for another year – Pedro Porro stepped up the plate when it mattered most.
Defensively, Porro has grown a lot over the past few years. He put all of his accumulated defensive acumen to use against the Toffees, keeping them quiet down their left flank for the duration of the outing.
CB: Issa Diop
Issa Dip has had a quiet season for Fulham, making just 13 Premier League appearances over the course of the campaign, but he was the star of the show against Newcastle United on the last day.
He scored the Cottagers’ first goal of the game and kept a clean sheet in doing so – in a gameweek where only four teams out of 20 managed to keep clean sheets, this was more than enough for him to land a spot in the XI.
CB: Luke O’Nien
Like Diop, Luke O’Nien has also struggled for gametime in 2025/26. This much should be evident – we had to use a picture of him from 2021 for this XI!
He won a crucial offensive header to create the assist to give Sunderland the lead in the first half. O’Nien has been with Sunderland since their League One days – his overall contribution to the club cannot be overstated.
