Elliot (cat like reflexes)

Dummett (never have enough left backs so I'll play one at right back)
Haidara (clearly a very intelligent boy, who has brilliant control of a football, the next lizarazu)
Willo (best defender ever)
Lascelles (can't get a game for Forest but still good enough for us)

Guthrie (never gave away petty fouls or put us under pressure)
HBA (proper grafter, real team man)
Sammy (silky skills)
Gouf (Messi-like)

Shola (great workhorse and great all round game - BRS will kill me if I don't include him)
Riviere (top finisher, looks likely to score whenever the ball goes near him)

I feel bad leaving out Marveaux who was strong as an ox and a real fighter. Made Barton look like a pussy cat.

 

And that team would be title challengers if Shola stayed fit

Around about 5th

Obviously, this assuming the quality of player at their peak for us.

 

Krul

Janmaat
Colo
Saylor
Enrique (can double yup in goal too)

Colback
Cabaye
Sissoko

Nolan

Ba
Remy

 

Real team:

GK - Krul

CB - Colo
CB - Saylor

FB - Debuchy
FB - Enrique

CM - Sissoko
CM - Abeid

AM - Cabaye
AM - Aarons
AM - Remy

ST - Ba

I reckon that team would be good enough for 8th. I'd say higher but unfortunately the centre halfs will always hold you back. Young Lascelles needs time to see what he is capable of but only Colo would have any hope of getting into a top 8 side, and he'd need to be Colo of 3-4 seasons ago.

 

GK - Krul

FB - Janmatt

CB - Colo
CB - Saylor

FB - Enrique


CM - Tiote


AM - Aarons
CM - Cabaye
AM - HBA

AM - de Jong

ST - Carroll

On form, top 5/6.

 

I see Pards has got his hands on his first left back in Pape Souare from Lille. The first of many.

 

I can see him getting Jose and Jonas in too.
