One early shock in the team is Dean Henderson taking the goalkeeper spot ahead of Alisson.
Henderson has had a fine season with Sheffield United on loan from Manchester United and has helped The Blades challenge for a European position.
The 23-year-old received 53.5% of the vote while Alisson received 37.7%.
However, the rest of the defence is dominated by the red half of Merseyside.
Virgil van Dijk, Trent-Alexander Arnold and Andrew Robertson all won by a landslide, after a fine season.
The final spot in defence goes to Leicester City's Caglar Soyuncu, who has ensured the Foxes haven't missed Harry Maguire following his departure last summer.
Midfield sees Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson and Leicester sweeper Wilfried Ndidi in deeper roles.
Henderson has had the best season of his career and was named BBC Player of the Season earlier this week.
Meanwhile, Nigerian international Ndidi's ankle injury over the winter period proved how important he was to Brendan Rodgers' side.
Kevin De Bruyne makes up the trio in a more advanced position after an insane 17 assists this season.
The attack is made up of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane flanking Sergio Aguero, which would strike fear into any defence in world football.
