Chelsea defender Reece James has been named in the Championship Team of the Season following his outstanding displays for Wigan Athletic.
Football Manager, as publicised by Goal’s Nizaar Kinsella via Twitter, selected the youngster in their line-up for the 2018/19 campaign, with the selections revealed on Tuesday.

James is on loan from Chelsea at Wigan and has established himself as a crucial player for the side.
The 19-year-old, who has operated on the right-hand side of the defence, has made 37 appearances in the Championship for the Latics and has come of age in senior football.
Wigan have struggled to impress this season and find themselves in a precariously low position. They sit in 19th place, but would almost certainly be worse off but for the composed displays of James at the back.
Chelsea could hand their young defender the chance to impress in the summer when he returns from pre-season from his season-long loan spell at the DW Stadium.
