Full team they chose.

Even Ampadu over Rodon is baffling 😂

This was mine:

 

GK : Hermansen - Leicester

RB : Ricardo - Leicester

CB : Vestergaard - Leicester

CB : Rodon - Leeds

LB : Davis - Ipswich 

CM : Sara - Norwich

CM : Dewsbury-Hall - Leicester

AM : Rutter - Leeds

RW : Whittaker - Plymouth

CF : Armstrong - Southampton

LW : Summerville - Leeds

 

So I got 7/11!

I get Greaves but wouldn’t say Walker Peters has been great. Rodon is the best centre back in the division. 
 

The non inclusion of Armstrong is baffling.

Yep totally agree. 
 

Like many have been saying, it’s a Leeds love in isn’t it.

Basically.

 

They are seen as a  cash cow I guess. Which is crazy when you think of the number of high profile clubs in the Championship now. 
 

Other than Davis Or Morsy, I was struggling to put Ipswich players into mine.

And no Nacho. He was going to score goals for fun.

Walker-Peters has been very good

Would you say better than Ricky though?

I don't think the role he's asked to play benefits the stats they look at for shit like this. If he's playing a traditional wing back position he probably has 10-15 assists.

No. They've played different roles but if I were to rate (likely biased) the two this season then Pereira has been better IMO.

[SuperMike]

Totally agree with the team they have come uo with!

[phildw]

Hermandsen! What has he done to deserve that. Probably because the 'stats' say he has had the most accurate passes in the league - 90% of them pointless tippy tappy one twos across his own box.  Shouldn't be anywhere near the top 11 for that abomination against Birmingham alone.

Probably because even despite that mistake he is still statistically one of the best keepers in the league?

Is it because Rodon is on loan? They dont seem to like putting players in who are on loan from the prem.

Aa I said pointless stats. From watching the games Meslier is more deserving of the top spot. 

[trooky]

Adam Armstrong should be ahead of Rutter

Ridiculous comment - three more points and we hit 91, no team in the history of the league has hit 91 points and not gone up automatically. Whatever doom and gloom we want to put out there after a few bad results, we 100% deserve to go up and in any other season we would already have been promoted. 

“And in any other season” is this season’s “be careful what you wish for”. 😁

He's had some clangers an'all.

[Torten]

Danny Ward robbed, hasn't let a goal in all season.

[trooky]

Let's just slag of every Leicester player give them no credit whatsoever, they're all ****ing shit, the club, the manager the board, Rudkin, Top. 

 

Shitest bunch of ***** to ever wear the shirt and the manager is a failed ****ing pound shop pep who should be sacked with 4 games to go and replaced with Alan Curbishely player 442 hoof ball with a team of midgets.

 

 

[Pliskin]

Ipswich don’t play until the 27th? That’s odd.

He is just a good player generally.

 

I'm really surprised a mid table premier league club didn't pick him up in the summer. Thought he'd be nailed on to go somewhere like Palace.

[Sunbury Fox]

Based on the ratings from the Sofa Score app, which I think are from Opta and therefore entirely stats based, and selecting an XI which is balanced in midfield and attack eg not playing only attacking or left sided CMs, the XI of the season is:

 

Johansson

 

Walker Peters

Harwood-Bellis

Greaves

Davis

 

Sheaf

Azaz

KDH

 

Sara

Armstrong

Summerville

 

I've included Sara as a right sided attacker as that is now where he is playing for Norwich. Otherwise, Fatawu is the highest rated right sided attacker in the league - not surprising as he has created more big chances than any other player in the league.
