Bored: Make a team and where would it finish?

Pick a team comprising of no more than one player from the 14 clubs outside of the top six. You can't pick any Man U, Man C, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool or Spurs players and can only have one player from each team. Where do you think your team would finish if they all stayed fit for the season?

Took me a little longer than I expected.

...................Begovic......................
...................................................
Orr.........Cahill.......Samba.......Baines
...................................................
Brunt....Sessegnon....Tiote....N'Zogbia
...................................................
..................Dempsey.....................
...................................................
.....................Bent........................

I'd say this team could finish 9th. Strong defence with a good CB pairing. Orr is the unknown as I couldn't get another good RB in there. Plenty of goals and assists from midfield in Brunt, N'Zogbia and Dempsey in CAM. Also Baines would chip in with a few and lots of assists. Up-front Bent is a class poacher who would bag loads with the midfield giving the ammunition. Tiote is the steel in midfield.

Completely pointless but something to do.

 

begovic

elokobi hangeland samba baines

tiote
sessegnon tarrabt n'zogbia

odemwingie bent
elokobi is out of position but oh well.

subs sinclair g cahill grant holt.

also 7/8th finish.

 

I don't want to make a team but I know, if I did, it would finish first.

 

GK-Given
RB- Foley
LB- Baines
CB- Woodgate
CB- Cahill
RW- N'Zogbia
LW- Sessegnon
CM- Tiote
CM- Taarabt
AMC- Dempsey
CF- Odemwinge

As long as I could get Taarabt, Dempsey, N'Zogbia and Sessegnon could interchange well, would say top 7.

 

Your confidence is admirable.

i reckon that team would easily get 7th, possibly higher...

Edit: Swapped Samba for Huth

 

Hmm...

Schwarzer
O'Shea Shawcross Williams Enrique
Holden Mulumbu
N'Zogbia Taraabt Baines
Bent​

...is my best effort. CBs arent brilliant but I think that team could get 8th.

 

Forgot about Holden, still Cahill for Coloccini and Tiote instead of him is probably about the same.

 

Taarabt is over rated and hasn't even played in the prem why are you including him in your teams guys?

 

Because u can only pick 1 player per team and aren't allowed to use players from the top 6, therefore have to pick two players from Blackburn, Wolves and the 3 newly promoted teams.

 

Because he's QPR's best player, why dont you do a team?

I like that one a lot

 

Anyone else notice the lack of good right backs in the 14 clubs?

Hennessey

Salgado
Shawcross
Hangeland
Baines

Barton
Holden
Cattermole
Nzogbia

Bent
Odemwingie

Yeah, mine would probably avoid relegation, that's about it though.

 

Lack of good right backs in the whole league, Chelsea have the best in Ivanovic IMO but he isnt exactly world class. Richards and Walker have potential as well.

 

Huh? Are you forgetting about Sagna from Arsenal, Rafael from Man.United, Richards from City, etc..

 

IMO Johnson has been one of the league's best defenders since Kenny came in, he was gash under Hodgson though, so it'll be interesting to see if he can carry his form into the new season.

No one's at the level of Ramos, Maicon or Alves though.

 

---------------Given----------------

Samba----Hangeland----Cahill----Baines

Larsson-----------------------------N'zogbia

---------Taarabt-----Odemwingie--------

I think this teams finishing position would depend on the link up between Larsson-Taarabt-Odemwingie.
Odemwingie and Taarabt are two players that can create something out of nothing but Adel prefers playing behind the strikers so he'd be playing slightly behind Odemwingie.

A solid defence and a pacey striking force.
6th

 

I knew I'd forgot someone. Sagna is very good but again not exactly in the top brass like Ramos or Dani Alves. Richards could be very good but is not the finished article, same for Rafael. Both still can get a lot better.

Havent watched a lot of Liverpool but I think Dalgliesh has got it right using Johnson in a back 5 where there isnt as much emphasis on defending, one of the very best attacking full backs around though.
