The best of those who have come through the ranks at their respective clubs.
Whilst the Premier League may be a hotbed for expensive transfers, there are also a number of stars from the division who have come through the ranks at their respective clubs.
With the homegrown quota now being enforced in the division, this is even more prominent for sides and fanatix has picked out the best current XI of stars who have progressed from the academy.
Note this does not necessarily means players have to be English, simply that they have been affiliated to the FA or Welsh FA for a period of three seasons or 36 months prior to their 21st birthday.

The Pole arrived in north London way back in 2006, taking two years before he was eventually promoted to the first team and has since been trying to affirm his place as No.1.
Now aged 24-years-old Szczesny has achieved that and looks to have put his erratic behaviour of the past behind him to be a truly top-class goalkeeper.
