Premier League ambassor Ranveer Singh and Chelsea FC ambassor Arjun Kapoor just faced wrath of social media for choosing an outlandish Premier League Team of Season. Ranveer Singh, a longtime supporter of Arsenal FC, was roped in as league's ambassor for India back in 2017. Meanwhile, Arjun Kapoor was appointed as face of Chelsea FC in India in October 2019.
While a team-up between Bollywood's two leing men is usually recipe for success, Ranveer and Arjun's match-up to choose Premier League Team of Season wasn't well-received by fans. Although it was meant just to be a light-hearted effort to ackwledge some of best players of season, but for football fans, team was thing but a massive joke.

Premier League TOTS: Ranveer and Arjun pick season's best XI
Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor did, in fact, start things with some great picks, choosing Premier League winners Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arld and Andrew Robertson to marshall defence. While picking Alisson over likes of Ederson, Nick Pope and Dean Henderson will be up for debate, at least it was a credible start from two actors. star-studded line-up featured Arsenal's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Man City's Sergio Aguero leing line while Liverpool's Sio Mane and Mohamed Salah running down wings. City's Kevin De Bruyne also me his way into side courtesy of his involvement in 30 goals (19 assists, 11 goals) this season.

So, where did it fall apart for duo? In middle of park. Ranveer and Arjun picked Chelsea star Ngolo Kante to play centrally. Although one of best defensive midfielders in league, 2019/20 season was arguably Kante's worst in England. If that didn't push fans over edge, Man City's Fernandinho was picked as second defensive midfielder/ centre back, making formation a hybrid between 4-4-2 or super-attacking 3-5-2.
