And Bamford scored 17 goals last season.

How anyone thinks that team would finish 16th in the Prem isn’t the sharpest tool. Even Coady and Mings are two solid Prem CBs.

I was at the game yesterday, it was a nice atmosphere but it was a pretty dour game. With the greatest of respect, the likes of Andorra and San Marino just don’t belong on the same pitch as Tier 1-3 nations.

Where would they finish then in your opinion ?


The team that started , obviously you're taking away the foreign talent from each side and the international game in general is slower

Mid table at best ?

Top 10 but probably not top 4. It's a bit silly though because no team would get by on just 11 players.

Obvious issue there is GK is weak and we're a midfielder light. But it's a decent team on paper. Another thing to consider with last night is that these players won't have played together as a unit so you'll always lose a bit of cohesiveness.

It is silly but only harmless fun .

Would you say Italy, who comfortably dominated our first team would finish top 4 .. because I don't

I don't mind playing them to be fair, just get sick of the likes of you whining because it's a boring game. Other federations do have multi-stage qualification so it's not that an extreme an option anyway. In fact, there's only UEFA & CONMEBOL (who only have 10 members) that don't have a pre-qualification stage.

Definitely top half.

That starting 11 is better than Everton and Leeds. And probably Arsenal.
