Professional Footballers Australia (the PFA) has announced the 2018/19 PFA A-League Team of the Season at Optus Stadium.
The team was unveiled on Wednesday afternoon at the venue for this season’s showpiece event, with two players from Wellington Phoenix making the starting XI.

The club last produced two players in the PFA Team of The Year back in 2014-15 when Andrew Durante and Nathan Burns were involved in the starting XI after reaching the Elimination Final under Ernie Merrick.
