The official team of the year announced was as follows: Darren Randolph, Max Aarons, Reece James, Liam Cooper, Jamal Lewis, Kalvin Phillips, Oliver Norwood, Jarrod Bowen, Che Adams, Teemu Pukki and Billy Sharp.Leeds United fans were dismayed that Pablo Hernandez was not named in that team despite scoring 10 goals and registering 11 assists.3

Liam Cooper was one of three players to be in both teams of the year

But the EFL have been validated, which is bad news for Leeds fans, because he is also not in the Championships best XI, according to WhoScoreds ratings.The WhoScored and the EFL teams of the season differ wildly and there are just three players who make it to both. Just two Norwich City players make it into that team despite their club being top-of-the-table while Sheffield United have just one representative.Two of the players who are nominated for the player of the year prize, Adams and Sharp, have not even made it in the team.3
