Evra and Giroud? You rate them that highly?

 

[bosnian_red]

I'm guessing we're putting defensive midfielders in with the central midfielders?

Goalkeeper:
De Gea, Cech, Begovic, Szczesny, Lloris

Right back:
Zabaleta, Ivanovic, Rafael, Coleman, Sagna

Left Back:
Baines, Azpilicueta (been playing lb this season), Gibbs, Shaw, Evra

Centre back:
Kompany, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Terry, Vertonghen

Centre Midfield:
Toure, Fernandinho, Ramsey, Gerrard, Matic

Winger:
Hazard, Willian, Navas, Nasri, Walcott

"Number 10":
Silva, Ozil, Mata, Oscar, Cazorla

Striker:
Suarez, Aguero, Van Persie, Rooney, Negredo

Coutinho is unlucky to miss out, as is Sturridge. Januzaj and Sterling by this time next season will be on the winger lists for sure too.

 

[2 man midfield]

GK: De Gea, Cech, Szceszny, Lloris, Begovic

RB: Ivanovic, Coleman, Rafael, Zabaleta, Azpilicueta

CB: Kompany, Terry, Koscielny, Lovren, Agger

LB: Baines, Evra, Gibbs, Shaw, Kolarov

Wing: Hazard, Silva, Navas, Willian, Walcott

CM: Toure, Ramsey, Fernandinho, Gerrard, Carrick

10: Mata, Ozil, Cazorla, Rooney, Oscar

ST: Suarez, Aguero, RvP, Sturridge, Negredo

Matic has impressed me a lot so far, but haven't seen that much of him.

EDIT: Looking at other people's lists, i'd probably stick Vertonghen in there for Agger.

 

[Thisistheone]

Goalkeeper: Cech, Hart, De Gea, Lloris, Szczesny
Right back: Ivanovic, Azpilicueta, Zabaleta, Sagna, Coleman
Left Back: Baines, Gibbs, Shaw, Cole, Enrique

Winger: Hazard, Cazorla, Walcott, Mirallas, Willian
"Number 10": Mata, Oscar, Ozil, Rooney, Silva
Striker: RVP, Aguero, Sturridge, Negredo, Suarez

Pretty much this, for me. Though I'm tempted to throw more Liverpool in there. Sterling and Henderson, perhaps.

 

[alastair]

In no particular order in terms of quality.

GK - De Gea, Szczesny. No other stand-outs.
RB - Ivanovic, Coleman, Zabaleta, Sagna, Azpilicueta.
CB - Koscielny, Mertesacker, Terry.
LB - Gibbs, Shaw.
Wing - Hazard, Navas.
CM - Ramsey, Wilshere, Fernandinho, Toure.

Don't think Henderson is better than any midfielders on that list.

'Kinell, that's practically an Arsenal squad.

 

[alastair]

We've been great this year with quite obvious flaws, being a great left winger and a top class CF.

 

[Thisistheone]

Been your best midfielder this year, no?

If I had to sub someone out, it would be Gerrard.

 

[Snipers Breath]

No way should Wilshere be in there..

[alastair]

I put him in there just to check people read my posts.

 

[alastair]

Nice to see Kompany's in everyone's teams yet again. I'd have John O'Shea over him this season.

[Barney]

Nice to see Kompany's in everyone's teams yet again. I'd have John O'Shea over him this season.

Mata hasn't been in the top five number tens this season either, but it's pretty obvious he's one of the five best in that position.

Carrick and Evra shouldn't be in the list either (particularly the latter).

 

[Rowem]

Centre Midfield: Toure, Ramsey, Fernandinho, Carrick, Wilshere
Winger: Hazard
"Number 10": Mata, Ozil, Cazorla, Silva, Oscar
Striker: Rooney, Van Persie, Suarez, Aguero, Sturridge

Don't care about defenders. Only one actual winger worth mentioning.

 

[NM]

Rafael and Vidic should not be near the top 5 this season

 

[Mauzindark]

Goalkeeper: DDG, Cech, Sczeneney, Lloris, Begovic
Right back: Zabaleta, Ivanovic, Rafael, Coleman, Sagna
Left Back: Baines, Kolarov, Cole, Gibbs, Azpilicueta

Winger: Hazard, Navas, Lallana, Willian, Sterling
"Number 10": Silva, Mata, Ozil, Oscar, Rooney
Striker: Suarez, RVP, Aguero, Negredo, Sturridge

Hands up those who had to google the spelling.

 

[a_devil_inside]

I'm surprised Evra doesn't feature that much, yes he has gone downhill a bit but he's still on of the best left backs in the league

 

[Nickosaur]

Hands up those who had to google the spelling.

I didn't even try!

 

[Ødegaard]

Evra and Giroud? You rate them that highly?

I rate Giroud that highly, Evra will soon enough be off the list though, and i didn't put them in any order of quality.
