Evra and Giroud? You rate them that highly?
 
I'm guessing we're putting defensive midfielders in with the central midfielders?

Goalkeeper:
De Gea, Cech, Begovic, Szczesny, Lloris

Right back:
Zabaleta, Ivanovic, Rafael, Coleman, Sagna

Left Back:
Baines, Azpilicueta (been playing lb this season), Gibbs, Shaw, Evra

Centre back:
Kompany, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Terry, Vertonghen

Centre Midfield:
Toure, Fernandinho, Ramsey, Gerrard, Matic

Winger:
Hazard, Willian, Navas, Nasri, Walcott

"Number 10":
Silva, Ozil, Mata, Oscar, Cazorla

Striker:
Suarez, Aguero, Van Persie, Rooney, Negredo

Coutinho is unlucky to miss out, as is Sturridge. Januzaj and Sterling by this time next season will be on the winger lists for sure too.
 
GK: De Gea, Cech, Szceszny, Lloris, Begovic

RB: Ivanovic, Coleman, Rafael, Zabaleta, Azpilicueta

CB: Kompany, Terry, Koscielny, Lovren, Agger

LB: Baines, Evra, Gibbs, Shaw, Kolarov

Wing: Hazard, Silva, Navas, Willian, Walcott

CM: Toure, Ramsey, Fernandinho, Gerrard, Carrick

10: Mata, Ozil, Cazorla, Rooney, Oscar

ST: Suarez, Aguero, RvP, Sturridge, Negredo

Matic has impressed me a lot so far, but haven't seen that much of him.

EDIT: Looking at other people's lists, i'd probably stick Vertonghen in there for Agger.

Pretty much this, for me. Though I'm tempted to throw more Liverpool in there. Sterling and Henderson, perhaps.
 
In no particular order in terms of quality.

GK - De Gea, Szczesny. No other stand-outs.
RB - Ivanovic, Coleman, Zabaleta, Sagna, Azpilicueta.
CB - Koscielny, Mertesacker, Terry.
LB - Gibbs, Shaw.
Wing - Hazard, Navas.
CM - Ramsey, Wilshere, Fernandinho, Toure.
10 - Ozil, Cazorla, Oscar.
ST - Suarez, Sturridge, Aguero.
 
Goalkeeper: Mignolet
Right back: Glen Johnson
Left Back: Jose Enrique
Centre back: Agger
Centre Midfield: Gerrard

Don't think Henderson is better than any midfielders on that list.

Nice to see Kompany's in everyone's teams yet again. I'd have John O'Shea over him this season.

Mata hasn't been in the top five number tens this season either, but it's pretty obvious he's one of the five best in that position.

Carrick and Evra shouldn't be in the list either (particularly the latter).
 
Centre Midfield: Toure, Ramsey, Fernandinho, Carrick, Wilshere
Winger: Hazard
"Number 10": Mata, Ozil, Cazorla, Silva, Oscar
Striker: Rooney, Van Persie, Suarez, Aguero, Sturridge

Don't care about defenders. Only one actual winger worth mentioning.
 
Rafael and Vidic should not be near the top 5 this season
