The EFL have announced their team and manager of the season awards for each division of the Sky Bet EFL.
The teams were compiled as part of the EFL Awards of 2017, and are based on votes submitted by a regional media representative of each of the 72 clubs who nominated their top 11 players and a manager.
The team and manager must be made up entirely of players and a manager from the same division as the club that nominated the media representative.

The overall EFL team of the season will be judged by a panel on Monday, March 20, and revealed at the EFL Awards on Sunday, April 9.
Championship team of the year
The title race could go down to the wire in the Championship between Newcastle and Brighton, but the Seagulls have the edge in the team of the season award with four players getting the nod.
Rafa Benitez's side have had a strong spine throughout the season and it's two of their key men, Jonjo Shelvey and Dwight Gayle, that have made the cut.
Gayle is behind Chris Wood in the race to be the league's top scorer, though; the Leeds striker, who has notched 24 goals this season, is joined by defensive team-mate Pontus Jansson, while the boss of a play-off rival - Huddersfield's David Wagner - is handed the reins.
