Rooney has more goals and assists than Pilkington, and more than most of the premier league.
Shit fellaini, I'd swap him for Cazorla, not Carrick.
Zabaleta overall imo.
I really don't think Baines has been as good as he could be this season.

*I haven't seen enough of Baines to choose him out-right over Clichy but I've seen enough for him to get at least a mention.

I like Gruber's team. I'll put Evra at leftback though just cos he can't stop scoring and not because he's a good defender.

Glen Johnson has had a better season imo, much improved defensively and still a threat going forward.

Has he balls. He's definitely better going forward but Zabaleta's easily the best all-round right-back in the league (and he's up there with Cole and Baines as one of the best full-backs in the league).

Why has the 3-2-3-2 not caught on? Combines the best aspects of the 3-5-2 and the 4-3-2-1. Five defensive players, midfield triangle, room for three creative players, two wingers and a strike partnership.

No Newcastle player deserves to be anyway near that team unfortunately.

Walcott - Fellaini - Michu (or Ki S.Y.) - Bale

RVP - Ba


Jaaskelainen's been more valuable to his team than Begovic imo. He has a lot more saves than Begovic too I think.
In LCM I was going to put Ki instead of Michu as he starred more as a second-striker and Ki's been pretty impressive fitting into Swansea's style of play so far.

You obviously haven't watched enough of Bassong

The reason why I chose Jaaskelainen over Begovic who everyone seems to go with is because according to ESPN Begovic has 59 saves in 21 apps while Jaaskelainen has 82 in 20 apps. Although Jaas conceded 4 more goals I'd say the difference of +20 saves between the two overcomes the fact that Stoke have a better line of defenders, therefore Jaas' contribution to his team has arguably been slightly greater than Begovic who has also been very impressive.

I'm sorry, didn't realise this was the 'who's been pretty good this season' thread.'
There's much better options than them two, but its down to opinion I guess.
