Ghanaian and Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey has been snubbed in the nominations for the FIFA 23 EA Sports Team of the Season.
Despite being a vital player for Arsenal and contributing to their success in the Premier League, Partey was not included in the list of potential midfielders.
The 29-year-old has been a key player for Arsenal this season, featuring in 26 Premier League games, starting in 24 of them and scoring three goals. His contributions have helped Arsenal to lead the table with 74 points, four points ahead of Manchester City, in their pursuit of the title.
However, the FIFA 23 EA Sports Team of the Season nominations have seen the likes of Bruno Guimarães of Newcastle United, Brighton and Hove Albion’s Alexis Mac Allister, and Palhinha of Fulham named among the potential midfielders to make the team.
Despite the snub, Partey’s exceptional performances this season have not gone unnoticed by fans and pundits alike, who have praised his performances.
