My nominated team via PL (EASport FUT23) Presenting my Premier League team of the season, selected based on merit alone. Although I had hoped to include David de Gea as the goalkeeper and Bruno Fernandez as CM, unfortunately, they were not nominated by the officials responsible for the selection process.
