FANS have been left baffled by Alan Shearer’s bonkers Premier League team of the week.
The Newcastle United legend picked his eleven most impressive players from match week 25.
Shearer, 54, opted to pick a unique formation with just two defenders, Brighton’s Adam Webster and Tottenham’s Djed Spence.
They were positioned behind two central midfielders in Bournemouth goalscorer Ryan Christie and Manchester City’s Nico Gonzalez.
The record Prem goalscorer then selected six attacking players, including Seagulls duo Yankuba Minteh, Kaoru Mitoma and Everton’s Carlos Alcaraz.
They were positioned behind another trio made up of Arsenal’s Mikel Merino, Ethan Nwaneri and City ace Omar Marmoush.

One posted: “Garth’s legacy lives on.”
