The side was created by working out which players you would make the most money from if you were to place a £5 bet on them to be first goalscorer every week, or in the case of the goalkeeper to not concede.
Here are the footballers you would make the most cash from…
GK) Lukasz Fabianski, Swansea City, £144
While Arsenal have been struggling to choose between Wojciech Szczesny and David Ospina, their former player has been quietly showing them what their missing at the Liberty Stadium. He had an impressive 13 clean sheets in the Premier League.
RB) Jonas Olsson, West Brom, £250
People think it is so unlikely that the Swede will score, that it actually only took a single opening goal for him to get in to the team. It was a flukey deflection from a Chris Brunt free kick away at Manchester United
LB) Chris Smalling, Manchester United, £155
Openers against Hull and Burnley have given the England international enough to get in.
CB) Brede Hangeland, Crystal Palace, £205
Two time first goalscorer Hangeland makes it in, with strikes against West Brom and Arsenal to thank for it.
CB) Laurent Koscielny, Arsenal, £170
The centre-back has helped the Gunners to wins against Stoke City and Leicester City.
CM) James McCarthy, Everton, £155
The Toffees’ two biggest wins of the season, 3-0s over Manchester United and Newcastle United, were started off by the 24-year-old.
CM) Cheikhou Kouyate, West Ham, £330
No player is more profitable than the Hammers midfielder, although he only scored first against Manchester United and Tottenham during the campaign.
LM) Sadio Mane, Southampton, £82.50
The forward have the fastest hat trick in Premier League history, and looks to be yet another great signing by the South Coast club.
RM) Nacer Chadli, Tottenham, £140
An impressive six opening goals for the Belgian, who has become an important member of the team under new manager Mauricio Pochettino.
ST) Eden Hazard, Chelsea, £110
Not only has the 24-year-old scored first nine times, but he also does it in important encounters. He opened proceedings against Man Utd, Arsenal, and Tottenham.
ST) Sergio Aguero, Manchester City, £88.50
When you score 26 goals in the season, it is kind of expected that you’ll get a few at the start of matches.
