Edit: I understand Fellaini has had a great season, but if you aren't going to put him in the position that he actually plays, I don't really understand how/why you include him at all (Same for Suarez)

Ruiz has played like 5 games in PL this season. Fellaine >>> Ruiz by a long shot. And Suarez >> RVP since he's been doing it with shittier players around him.

yes but RVP has been far more clinical then Suarez

RVP has 8 goals, 2 of them are penalties.

I would play Suarez up front alone and Mata can take those penos. RVP needs to score from the open more to be close to Suarez.
Both have 11 goals in all competitions.

Also Ruiz in this thread

-----------Jaaskelienen---------
Ivan-Mertesacker-Agger-Gibbs
-------------Obi Mikel----------
-Mata------Fellaini---------Van Persie (I've seen him on the left quite a bit)

Not accustomed to including keepers in this sort of thing.

Thinking about it I don't know who to put there. I would put Toure but he doesn't really deserve to be there.

Maybe Valencia on the right in a sort of auxillary right midfielder role.

1. This is PL team of the season not all competitions teams of the season.

2. Suarez has taken about 40 more shots than RVP

3. Ruiz has been fantastic this season and him being there is no laughing matter.

Messiah "Aggerswagger" wrote:fair enough, I for one would definitely include both of them. No point in including Mirallas, whose very inconsistent.

take dem red tinted glasses off mate.

Also the Suarez deserves it more because he's been doing it with worse players is the funniest thing i have seen in this thread

Falcao deserves player of the year above Messi and Ronaldo does he?

Gtfo mole Liverpool players are all underrated agger is the best cb in the league who hasnt put a foot wrong all season ffs.

I personally think Ki has been excellent and should be in the mix, along with Kone

Arsenal have had their worst start to a season in 30 years, yet Swanhends give them the most allocation of players of any other team ?

Who's watched every West Brom game in full this season?

What kind of question is that

If you could only rate people you've seen play every single game in full nobody would rate anybody but people on their own teams

Idc that he's only played in 5 games, I've seen him play about 4 times and he's impressed me every time

I gave him the edge over Fellaini cause Fulham have been scoring more goals

So why's it possible to rate someone based on clips/hype?

Tbf they have statistically the best defense in the league and the players he chose were defensively players

Coach: SAF

Except that they don't and statistically, Stoke and Man City have conceded less goals than Arsenal.


but big clubs get the favourable bias as per usual I guess

He only selected 2 Arsenal players... what's the big deal? Jenkinson has been fantastic, defensively he's been the best RB in the league. With him and Gibbs we had the best defense in the league. And Arteta is well known about being great this and the past season.

Because Wenger has been a complete flop, that doesn't mean some players didn't play well.

^ for a second I thought Clichy is still an Arsenal player


no, no problems with it, that's the whole point of discussion.

But I hate it when a team of season is dominated by a few teams, I always try to make it as diverse as possible, giving attention to those who don't get enough credit already (e.g. Olsson, Shawcross, Malumbu, etc)

Lol, when you look at that team it's full of ex and current Arsenal players

Well I made that mistake aswell, I only selected Baines and Mirallas outside Arsenal, City, United and Chelsea.

Maybe I have to make another team to make it as fair as possible.

Maybe we should make an XI with only 1 player per club

That's harder, my try:


Some players are out of position, but that's the best I could do.

So quickly heading for RB territory...

FYI i don't think Hart has been that good but i couldn't think of many others ( from clubs i had not already picked from)

^ Begovic has been superb for Stoke.

they have conceded the least amount of goals in the league

Before yesterday, Arsenal had still allowed the least goals in the whole league despite having one of the toughest opening schedules out of anyone...

In addition to that, they have only let up more than 1 goal three times this season: against Chelsea, ManU, and Fulham...Neither Jenkinson nor Gibbs played vs ManU or Fulham

Btw "big team bias" ?? Whats biased about picking players from the teams that have been performing the best?

Yohan Modric wrote:So why's it possible to rate someone based on clips/hype?

Who said anything about clips/hype? Just because you don't watch every single game doesn't mean you're rating based off that.

So far this season I've seen West Brom play Liverpool, Everton, Fulham, QPR - and like one half of West Brom-Newcastle...With the exception of Fulham (where they were overrun) Mulumbu has impressed in all of them and West Brom are 4th in the table 10 games in...Well worthy of a place

Great Leader Sprucenuce wrote:Maybe we should make an XI with only 1 player per club

I really didn't want to include Baines...he hasn't been poor, he just hasn't really done anything to impress me - but I couldn't really think of anyone else to put at left back since I couldn't use Clichy or Gibbs...

Similar situation to Sterling...I couldn't think of anyone else to put on the wing, so while Sterling has been sort of inconsistent I think, at least he's impressed me a little bit...although some of that may be down to having low expectations for him

You can put Suarez on the Left ?
