So, the idea is to make a starting XI, using any realistic formation, of the players you think have been the best performers in the PL this year. The catch is not to include any of the players that will no doubt make the crappy, predictable lists you see on SSN.
So, no Gareth Bale, Samir Nasri, Berbatov, Van Der Vaart etc etc. I'm talking players who won't get the recognition they deserve.
I'd go for:
Kingson - I know Blackpool have conceded the most goals in the league, but every time I've watched him he's put on fantastic displays. To think, he's always been a third or fourth choice keeper... shame really, because this season at least, I think he's been fantastic.
Stephen Carr - Well he's half here because there's no good RBs in the league, and half here because I'm just surprised he's still going. He's been an important part in a Brum team that's won a trophy this year, and also one which hasn't conceded too many goals. Fair play.
Samba - I just think he's an absolute beast. Far, far, far too good for Blackburn.
Distin - He's been spectacular for 99% of the season, and has been our best defensive player. He won't get a mention anywhere outside of our club, though. Sadly.
Baines - The best fullback in the league. End of.
Barton - He's a tit, but he's probably right when he says he's the best English midfielder! He's got great skill and a wicked delivery.
Parker - Defensively, he's a beast, and his distribution is magnificent. But, his fight is incredible. He's single-handedly carried his team through this season, and I hope it's not in vain. He also seems about 100x more modest and down to earth than that toothy wankpot Adam, and the average footie player in general. I'd like to have him here.
Brunt - An absolute assist machine for another crap team. There's no way he'll not be sold in the summer, if WB go down. Even if they stay up he'll surely go. Similarly to Jarvis, he's a quality left sided player who is playing for a crap team.
Nolan - He's a massive tit of a man. I'd laugh if a tractor ran over his legs. But... ack. Excuse me while I go vomit...
Okay, well he's been really quite good. He's the 4th top scorer in the league (from midfield), and has managed to repeat his championship form in the PL. So, objectively speaking, he's pretty good. But still a blazing bellend.
Van Persie - I know he plays for Arsenal, but he never gets talked about in the same vein as the big name strikers. Injuries have no doubt wrecked his career, but in 18 PL apps since coming back from injury, he's score 12 times. That's mental.
Demba Ba - He's only just signed for West Ham, but I'm giving him a spot. I've seen him play a few times, and he looks 10x better than Cole, Pickeeeeon, Keane and the other one they've got (seriously, they've got a bigger strike force than us ffs). He's scored 4 times in 6 apps, and for a team as crap as West Ham, that's an accomplishment. He always looks like scoring, too. He's a beast of a man; tall, strong and willing to run. I can't believe Stoke didn't sign him when they had the chance.
So, no Gareth Bale, Samir Nasri, Berbatov, Van Der Vaart etc etc. I'm talking players who won't get the recognition they deserve.
