[@micc0496]

maybe swap cunha for solanke and kerkez for ait nouri

[@kevintheman4408]

I very much agree, thats What i did

[@noahvanooijen6640]

Neto - kerkez - virgil To Salah - RAN - Zabaryni Is a very easy swap imo

[@tomh2121]

As a Fulham fan, Robinson is the best choice. Left back is generally a weak position across the league and he is great. Rodri gets in ahead of Palhinha and otherwise I think there are more useful options (Pickford for example).

[@Serioustwister]

Rodri gets in over palinha 😂😂 that’s like saying haaland gets in over Callum Wilson.

[@Dwayndibb]

​@@SerioustwisterObviously Rodri is the best but Fulhams midfield is incredible good for one reason. He doesn't belong

[@tomh2121]

@@Serioustwister well if you have to pick one player per team, picking Fulham’s best player is hardly an unreasonable thing to say. Rodri is phenomenal but statistically Palhinha is the best defensive midfielder in terms of tackling etc. He’s a brilliant player but, in comparison, what makes Rodri so special is how complete he is, Palhinha is no way near as good on the ball, he’s very much mostly an off the ball player. Rodri is amazing at all parts of the game.

[@kevintheman4408]

As a Fulham fan, like that helps your case

[@Do27gg]

As a Liverpool fan, Robinson is someone I’ve wanted since Fulham got promoted. Would have been perfect under klopp, if it weren’t for robbo

[@qwertyfinger]

Why have you get Ferguson as the striker for Brighton? He hasn't scored in like 5 months. Pedro has been excellent for us this season.

[@EliCoolio317]

the fact that bowen wasn’t mentioned at all in the final 3 teams is crazy. out of those 5 final teams, he was the only player that was really mandatory in the squad for me

[@abbiem5357]

As a Bournemouth fan, I'd personally put at least 5 players ahead of Kerkez. Solanke, Christie, Cook, Zabarnyi, Kluviert all been really important this season. Kerkez was injured for a period and never quite got back into the side until recently.

[@charliecutler7830]

I agree, zabo has been class this season and imo our best defender this season. Kerkez is a great player tho

[@kevintheman4408]

As a iraola enjoyer i agree

[@theMoerster]

I would agree that Zabarnyi would be a good choice and is probably the best player this year for us, with the exception of Solanke, but it is tough with the depth of CB in the league to break into this squad. Coach Allcott had some very difficult decisions.

[@adambassuni6084]

yeah but no one in their right mind puts solanke, christie, cook, zabarnyi or kluivert in over the strikers, cms and cbs that we have in the league

[@noahvanooijen6640]

Ye not a BOU fan pr anything but kerkez seems a weird pick

[@Tobylerone168.]

As a Brentford fan, Flekken has been one of our worst players. He's picked up some form but he's nowhere near this list. Mbeumo or Pinnock would be much better options.

[@askefn]

tbf backup goalie doesnt matter

[@its_me_tg7120]

Eze for Ballon Dor

[@fish4penguins]

Flekken is a criminal choice from you Jim, he singlehandedly put us in a relegation scrap this season and easily one of the worst players I've seen in a Brentford shirt

[@colinurban9112]

he’s good now but first 2/3 of the season he was terrible. mbeumo is undoubtedly the best choice for us, his injury was easily the most impactful and he’s been mvp whenever he’s been back on the field recently

[@shikkishamone]

I think Mbuemo being out so long means he isn't one of the best right wingers. It's about the combinations not the individuals. I'd say Kudus/Bowen were better than Mbuemo. Flekken probably an average choice overall in the league, but not many great Brentford performers this year.

[@maxperek6322]

@@shikkishamone both kudus and bowen have been miles better than mbeumo, even disregarding his injury

You’re usually on it James, but a little strange that you’ve missed out Bailey as one of Villa’s key players. He’s been amazing this season, he’s actually got the 6th most G/A’s per 90 in the league and that’s without pens. Would’ve been nice to see his qualities highlighted.

[@ManuelCruz37]

Hi James, could you do a video on the possible XI for Ruben Amorim’s West Ham? Being a Portuguese that has seen loads of sporting games I think that the current West Ham squad lacks some key players for Amorim tactic. Keep up the great work!

[@Barcadelft]

Solanke and Ait Nouri in for Cunha and Kerkez

[@safebans1369]

[@robbarry6994]

[@imagesbirds5066]

Yeah. Do the ultimate squad please!

[@Clayts]

Re: Antonee Robinson, been loads of Liverpool links, absolutely with you on him. Great to watch, seems unorthodox sometimes but when you look at his numbers… very ‘Edwards signing’. Could see him and Ait-Nouri both making the next step to Arsenal/Liverpool this summer.

[@Do27gg]

Robinson is so relentless I love it, would fit us perfectly. Robbo still miles better and idk if Robinson would be willing to be a rotation player

[@leeronnie604]

Martinez - Pickford Trent - Assignon Saliba Van de ven Nouri - Robinson Rodri - Gross Mainoo - Barkley Eze - Hamer Palmer - Elanga Isak - Toney Paqueta - Tavenier

Good challenge this! I’ve taken off the backup keeper and added a reserve CB GK - Onana RB - Trippier/Doughty CB - Virgil CB - Tarkowski/Anderson LB - Reguilon/Kerkez DM - Rice/Paulinha CM - Gross/Gibbs-White CAM - Foden/Hamer LW - Son/Koleosho ST - Watkins/Hwang RW - Palmer/Bowen

[@jamespanter8761]

You missed Magic option 4 at the end: Neto Rw, Isak St, Eze Lw, Gibbs-White AM.

[@bonusexitus2263]

I think this is the one the approach for me was basically the bottom of the table has about one player total that warrants a spot so need to get them in, then Rodri has to go in bc he's been the best player by far, then fill in the rest trying to fit the best player where you can but its not always possible. Big concessions are Dalot but I'm fine with him as a United fan, don't really know what Wolves fans think of Jose Sa, and then couldn't fit in Gross or Cullen. LW - Gordon : Odobert ST - Watkins : Solanke RW - Palmer : Kudus CM - Barkley : Hamer CM - Eze : Gibbs-White CM - Rodri : Norgaard LB - Robinson : Estupinan CB - van Dikj : Gabriel RB - Porro : Dalot GK - Pickford : Sa

Love the content! I was thinking a way to take this further would be to do this over the past 5 years. Trying to pick 1 player from every team, limiting down to 22 (2 x 11) and then deciding which of those teams would win a final. That could be really interesting and a good way to use Statheads multiple year analysis. 🎉

[@mishaHrytsak]

I mean media just ruined Zinchenko 😢. He is top 3 left becks in the league STILL, but some stupid guys said that for Arsenal "Zinchenko's faults" can be cruical. I see that we lost EPL and CL not because of him 🤬. Everyone forgot how goos he is in attacking space

[@Do27gg]

He’s not top 3 LB…he’s not even a proper LB 😂

[@giddyupmena]

Pickford,trafford Doughty, Robinson, van dijk, van hecke,porro, bogle Rice,norgard,mainoo,j gomes, Gibbs white,eze,,foden, palmer,Gordon,Bowen, Watkins, Solanke This is a more balanced team. Rodri has been great but foden on another level. Feel Haaland has not been as good and other strikers so solanke and Watkins were no brainers. None of liverpools attack have been considerably great this season so felt van dijk would be a better choice as for my Liverpool pick and same goes for Brighton hence I pick van hecke. Porro has been excellent for spurs and Bogle has been playing alright for Sheffield this season. Doughty has played a key role in lutons push to survive relegation and Robinson was the other choice as couldn’t see another Fulham player getting in. Pickford has been a great shot stopper for Everton and Trafford has done an ok job at burnley. I also didn’t see another burnley player getting into this team. Palmer a obvious choice. Gordon has been excellent at Newcastle this season and has been scoring and assisting in almost every game. I put Bowen on the left as he usually plays here (not sure why he listed paqueta on the left?). Mainoo has been carrying United at a young age and has been a key part of their push for Europe. Initially would go sarabia but realised needed to fit in a forest player so switched him for Gibbs white and put j gomes in instead. I put in rice ahead of rodri. Eze also impressive so he finished off my team. This turns out to be a great team! Let me know your thoughts?

[@zubairatif]

As a city fan, Akanji has been our best defender this season, and he's not even on your best xi

Pickford, Foderingham Doughty, Dalot, Ait-nouri, Porro Virgil, Andersen Palhinha, Rodri, Gross, Paqueta Gibbs-white, Odegaard Gordon, Lyle Foster Watkins, Solanke Palmer, Mbeumo I think I win. I know I cheated a bit with foderingham and lyle foster (who has been brilliant when he's been in full fitness. He's struggled through depression this season which has left him looking surplus to requirements at times but you can tell when he's on and when he's on he's really on. I think he'll get a prem move this year and prove his worth.) But I've really fit the best player in each team on here besides Son and Fernandes.
