Who makes DAZN's National League Team of the Season?

After Rochdale's dramatic National League play-off final win over Boreham Wood at Wembley Stadium, it is now time to decide on the Team of the Season.

This campaign has seen some incredible storylines from York City's final-day title triumph over Dale to Gateshead's phenomenal turnaround to avoid relegation.

Given the level of quality shown throughout the campaign, there is understandably a wealth of players deserving of making the final 11.

However, DAZN News has done its best to pick the standout players for its ultimate National League side, so read on to find out who we believe is worthy of a place.

Oliver Whatmuff - Rochdale (goalkeeper)

Oliver Whatmuff may not have won the National League's Golden Glove Award, but his impact at Rochdale has played a significant part in their promotion to the Football League.

The teenager joined Dale on loan from Premier League champions Manchester City last summer, and already has 15 England caps across multiple youth levels.

His 18 clean sheets are bettered only by York City goalkeeper Harrison Male (19), although Whatmuff played eight fewer games than his rival and saved two penalties in the play-off final shootout against Boreham Wood.

Gus Scott-Morriss - Southend United (right-back)

Gus Scott Morris's attacking numbers have been quite frankly obscene this campaign, thus landing him a place in our Team of the Season.

The right-back scored an incredible 15 goals this term while also notching three assists to help Southend United achieve a play-off finish.

He also played his part in the Shrimpers keeping 17 clean sheets across 46 matches, highlighting his ability at both ends of the pitch.

Mark Kitching - York City (centre-back)

One of the more experienced heads in the lineup is York's Mark Kitching, who has now achieved back-to-back promotions, having done so with Oldham Athletic last season.

The 30-year-old played 44 of the Minstermen's 46 League matches, helping his side keep 19 clean sheets while scoring twice and assisting six times.

Kitching was the perfect fit for Stuart Maynard's dominant York, who controlled possession, and the central defender was Mr Reliable in the hub of that defence.

Kyron Gordon - Rochdale (centre-back)

There were some stellar options for Kitching's centre-back partner, but Rochdale's Kyron Gordon just shaded Carlisle United captain Morgan Feeney.

While Gordon did play a handful of matches at right-back for Jimmy McNulty's side, he played primarily as a centre-half as part of the National League's joint-best back line.

Bar one game against Brackley Town, where the 23-year-old was an unused substitute, he has played every minute of every game, with his influence at either end of the pitch guiding Dale to promotion.

Harry Boyes - Southend United (left-back)

Southend boasts not one but two full-backs in our Team of the Season, with left-back Harry Boyes making up the back four.

Having joined from Sheffield United last summer, the 23-year-old contributed 10 assists and a goal, making him one of the most threatening in his position.

While he did play a chunk of the campaign at left-midfield, all bar one of his assists came from the left-back position.

Alex Hunt - York City (centre-midfield)

The beating heart of York's midfield this season was Alex Hunt, and while he may not get the plaudits as the forwards at his club, he has played a pivotal role in their title triumph.

The 25-year-old was the Minstermen's controller, dictating play in the hub of midfield while allowing those in front of him to flourish.

As well as his superb defensive contributions, Hunt also boasted nine goals and six assists, making it a stellar campaign for the Irishman.

Callum Roberts - Scunthorpe United (right-wing)

Having been part of Scunthorpe United's play-off winning side from the previous campaign, Callum Roberts elevated his game in the National League this season.

The former Aberdeen man was a constant threat throughout, bagging 19 goals and eight assists, with one of his strikes earning them victory in the play-off eliminator against Southend.

His superb close control and ability in one-on-one situations made him stand out from a selection of top wingers, and he is simply irresistible at this level.

Zak Brunt - Boreham Wood (central-attacking-midfield)

Boreham Wood were the second-highest scoring team in the division behind York because of the glut of attacking talent available to manager Luke Garrard.

Zak Brunt proved himself as one of the division's most complete midfielders as a ball winner, presser and creator to the Wood's startling front line.

The 24-year-old notched a ridiculous 17 goals and 14 assists across the National League season, including two in the play-offs, making him a shoo-in for the Team of the Season.

Abdul Abdulmalik - Boreham Wood (left-wing)

One man primed for a bright future is Boreham Wood's Abdul Abdulmalik, who has been one of a kind in the fifth tier.

His dribbling, acceleration and ability in the final third meant that he made the line-up ahead of Carlisle's Regan Linney, and we would not be surprised if he were to go on to play at the highest level.

Abdulmalik provided 15 goals and nine assists for the Wood, including four contributions across the play-offs, making him the definition of a big game player.

Ollie Pearce - York City (forward)

Perhaps the most obvious name on the list is York's Ollie Pearce, who won a second successive Golden Boot for notching 34 league goals, four more than he managed last term.

Amongst his impressive numbers were two hat-tricks and four braces, while he bagged the winning goal in multiple fixtures.

Next season, he will be looking to follow in Paul Mullin and Macaulay Langstaff's footsteps by translating his record to the Football League.

Emmanuel Dieseruvwe - Rochdale (forward)

The man for the big moments, Emmanuel Dieseruvwe's ability to bag late, late goals has guided Rochdale to League Two in dramatic fashion.

His 27 goals are only bettered by Pearce, while he also recorded eight assists in his first season at the Crown Oil Arena.

What makes the 31-year-old so indispensable is his ability to clinch important goals at the death, scoring a stoppage-time equaliser against Boreham Wood in the play-off final as well as late strikes against York and Braintree Town at the back end of the season.
