Saudi Pro League Team of The Season Predictions (FC 26)
Hello and welcome to my Saudi Pro League Team of the Season so far for 2025/26. This has been a season defined by attacking quality, star power and a very clear top tier of players who have consistently decided matches. The league has once again produced a mix of established names and influential role players, and that is what makes this selection interesting: it is not just about the biggest reputations, but about who has actually shaped the season.
Cristiano Ronaldo remains one of the most obvious names in any discussion of the league, because he is still delivering goals at a level that keeps him central to the conversation. Ivan Toney has also been one of the standout attacking stories, giving his side a reliable scoring presence and a different kind of physical threat in the box. Julián Quiñones has been another major attacking force, and together those three give the league the sort of forward line that makes this TOTS easy to build around.
João Félix has added another layer to the attack, bringing creativity and moments of quality that make him more than just a scorer. Sadio Mané still gives the league a direct wide threat and plenty of experience in big matches, while Karim Benzema remains a player who can still decide games even when the spotlight is shared.
Midfield is just as important here. Rúben Neves has been one of the most important control players in the division, while Kostas Fortounis brings the kind of technical quality and final pass that can unlock tight games. Musab Al Juwair gives the squad a more energetic and modern central midfield profile, and Danilo Pereira adds balance and structure.
The defensive line also has a strong look to it. Kalidou Koulibaly still gives you power, leadership and presence in the middle of defense, while Iñigo Martínez brings experience and composure. Mohammed Simakan adds athleticism and pace, and Ibáñez gives the team another solid defensive option who can handle pressure and duels. Koen Casteels is a very natural choice in goal because a season team needs a goalkeeper who can be trusted week after week.
