cairnsy Posted 11 February 2014 Posted 11 February 2014 Hard to say really, i'd probably say: Gk: Schmeichel Rb: Trippier CB: Morgan CB: Dunne LB: Not sure really. havent seen anyone impress me. Probably Konchesky/Cresswell CM: Kranjcar CM: Hughes CM: Drinkwater RW: Phillips (Matt) ST: Ings LW: Austin (couldnt keep him out) Loads of players that require mentioning like: Andy Reid, McCormack, Barton, Green, Shackell, James, Rhodes, Benayoun even
itsaknockeart Posted 11 February 2014 Posted 11 February 2014 Surprised how many people have included Kranjcar, he's been poor every time I've seen him play this season. Ditto. Astonishing that anyone thinks Kranjcar is having a better season than, say, Craig Bryson. I'm no Derby fan but Bryson has scored 12 times and has 8 assists.

Guest Posted 11 February 2014 Posted 11 February 2014 Don't even know where to start with this. Start by calling it what it is, a steaming pile of horse shit
One Legged Beaver Posted 11 February 2014 Posted 11 February 2014 FWIW the whoscored.com (stats site) Championship team of the season so far: McCarthy Trippier Burn Duffy Forsyth Cairney Barton Bryson Reid McCormack Vokes Not one player from the team who were 10 points clear at the time. Makes sense.
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 11 February 2014 Posted 11 February 2014 Why has everyone got Dunne in their team!? Seen him play 5 times this year and 4 and a half of them he has been utter wank. Given TrippierMorganHobbsCreswellReidBrysonDrinkwater AdomahIngsKnockaert Bench = Darlow, Moore, Kranjcar, Dyer, McCormack, Rhodes, Vokes
Jfox Posted 11 February 2014 Posted 11 February 2014 Based on this season: Schmeichel Trippier Morgan Hill Cresswell Reid Bryson Drinkwater Dyer Ings McCormack
Aus Fox Posted 11 February 2014 Posted 11 February 2014 It depends if you wanted an XI to actually play a game or just the best player in each position. These arnt necessarily the same thing, if it was to play a game if have Ings and Vokes as my strikers as they play so well together and really seem to compliment each other, but I don't think Vokes is the second best striker in the division. Ings and McCormack if it was the best player in each position, these though I feel are to similar to play together.
Aus Fox Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 Team to win the league: Schemichael Trippier Moore Morgan Cresswell Knockaert James Drinkwater Dyer Vokes Ings
Manwell Pablo Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 Morgan, Knockaert & Drinkwater would get in anyone's 11. Which is meaningless when discussing the Championship 11 given they'd only have to be the 2nd best player in their given positions at the club in question, as opposed to the 2nd best in the league minimum. You've gone very weird in recent days not sure I like it. On subject this would be hard to do, it'd depend on whether your considering this season or a player general ability, McCormack for example is having a great season but isn't a patch on Rhodes or Austin for me, the latter would obviously not get a look in when basing it on form due to his injury.
RonnieTodger Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 Kranjcar is the only player I've seen that looks genuinely too good for this league.
itsaknockeart Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 And bang goes the credibility of that site. Yeah probably fair comment. Their methodology or data (or both) is flawed for the Championship -- 7 of their top 8 rated players in the division are centre backs(!) However that team does have the advantage of being based solely on numbers and not opinion. Dan Burn and Shane Duffy are clearly getting too much credit for being the best defenders on struggling teams but the other selections don't seem totally outlandish to me, certainly not as ridiculous as suggestions like Kranjcar, Benayoun, Phillips and Green.
lgfualol Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 Dunne and Ekotto are terrible. Apart from Austin and a couple others, QPR's team are a bunch of old folks whom had their best moments in 2000. From our team I'd probably say a few of these should get in most XI teams. Kasper, Morgan, De Laet, Drinky and Knocky. Dyer when it isnt wet.
Mark_from_USA Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 Jamie Vardy is the best player in this league. He's won 7 penalties and scored 10 goals. Plus he creates his goals. I'd say hes definitely up there in the list.
Guest MattP Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 He's won 7 penalties and scored 10 goals. Plus he creates his goals. I'd say hes definitely up there in the list. And that doesn't count the numerous goals created as well from chasing complete lost causes like De Laets v Middlesbrough.
GingerrrFox Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 Schmeichel Trippier Morgan Shackell Cresswell Hammill Drinkwater Reid Knockaert Ings McCormack
Dan Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 Couldn't possibly say having only watched one team but you have to laugh when people overlook some of our players all the time. People seriously under-estimate most of our team.
Dan Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 How they can put Barton over Drinkwater I will never know... They're the type of people who'll say the main reason Leicester are top is because of Nugent & Schmeichel and a load of others who play around them. It's nearly impossible to put something like this together. I bet if you asked Burnley/Derby fans who their key players have been, people would be surprised. If we told everyone our best three players have been Dyer, Vardy and Drinkwater (in my opinion it's been them three so far) then no-one would believe us.
Dan Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 FWIW the whoscored.com (stats site) Championship team of the season so far: McCarthy Trippier Burn Duffy Forsyth Cairney Barton Bryson Reid McCormack Vokes lol Shows how over-rated 'stats' are then.
Silverdaz Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 Fairly happy with that. I'd probably swap Schmeichel for Green, Hughes for Krancjar, Rhodes/Austin for McCormack and Knockaert for Dyer. Dyer has been a far better player this season than Knockaert
Leicester Bean Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 Ditto. Astonishing that anyone thinks Kranjcar is having a better season than, say, Craig Bryson. I'm no Derby fan but Bryson has scored 12 times and has 8 assists. I agree that other CM's have had good seasons but Krancjar is definitely a class above this division.
