Thats why i posted the 'magnetic board' link.

If you know the positions (i'm assuming you do), then you don't need to count them. ;)

OK, I'll use that next time now that I'm suitably chastened  ;)

I left out Walker and White.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!

Hey it was either Daisy or White, I did give Armfield an upgrade! :D

No Daisy is in from me. He surely has to be in our best 22 when fit, he's just not worth anywhere near 750k.

Seems to be pretty consistent currently.

Somewhat of a surprise is the mass exclusion of Walker. I left him out of my team, but i didn't think so many others would as well.

I think that even though it's a best 22 people are choosing pretty much on current form.

Point here though is...At his very best or even at about 80% of it Thomas would be in our starting 22....probably the same with Walker.
But they may never again reach that type of form.

On the other hand we may get someone upgraded off the rookie list that needs a few games to find his feet and by the end of the season is "the next Kouta".

Players that struggle under a game plan or allocated position may blossom under a change of plan or a move to a different position

So the best 22 is a fluid, flexible thing  and would change constantly throughout the year and across seasons.

It's a real "point in time" thing.

My choices now are quite different to the start of the year.

The best 22 indicated above is arguably our best 22 now.....it may (should) be different at the end of the year.

Seems to be a fair degree of consensus here! Only really Walker and Thomas as marginal calls.
Reality always wins in the end.

Isn't that how you pick a best 22?  If a player is out of form/injured, he wouldn't be in the best 22  ???

And that's what you're saying in your next comment  :)

Picking the best 22 on fitness and form for this one. Thomas and Walker would be picked normally

I want to show people that it is fluid. How fluid i'm not sure, we shall see at the end of the year.

There are always people who argue player x is CLEARLY in our best 22 and has been all year......perhaps not.

A couple of examples....
First poll...
Walker - 65 / 66 people had him best 22.
Jones - 41/66 votes
Graham - 8/66 votes
Armfield - 3/66 votes

Current poll...
Walker - 6/23
Jones - 0/23
Graham - 18/23
Armfield - 20/23


In retrospect we might find out that someone like Walker is carrying a terribly debilitating injury, which has affected his form.

I was also hoping to highlight during our worst periods that our best 22 was far from easy to select.
