What's your "everyone's available" starting XI?

[Stumpy Tim]

Lot's of people picking Gardner...surprising as i'd imagine most haven't seen him play.

He's played at the Amex and scored. It's also well known he's a quality player.

Can I sit on the fence and say that I need to see Bennett, Gardner, Baldock and Colunga??

 

[the right footed denilson]

He's played at the Amex and scored. It's also well known he's a quality player.

You could say that about most of our midfield...he has made only a handful of appearances over the last two seasons.
Not saying he doesn't have he quality, just surprised people are so quick to put him ahead of the likes of Ince, Crofts, Stephens, JFC and March (all our players).

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Lot's of people picking Gardner...surprising as i'd imagine most haven't seen him play.

When we played Villa two seasons ago he ran the midfield for Villa and scored

Experience alone is enough to put him in the team, you don't play in the premiership if you are shite.

I feel like a kid in a sweetshop, well done to the management

This, except Calde for Bruno (just).

Toughest selection problem for bloody ages.... what an excellent problem to have....

Such a tough job now to pick a team. Great position to be in. I feel bad enough leaving people out hyperthetically.

...I've genuinely no idea what I'd pick as our strongest XI

Same..an embarrassment of riches as the saying goes

Teixeira

Was thinking about my team until I saw this. Pretty much the same team I'd play when everyone's fit.

Subs could be Ankergren, Calderon, Hughes, Ince, March, LuaLua, Mackail-Smith

Then you have the likes of McCourt, O'Grady, Nzuzi, Crofts etc not in the 18. We've put together a fantastic squad this summer. Well done to everyone at the club involved!

The bench will have some strong players many of whom would easily fit into starting 11. Already had 7 or so variations and have given up on naming an 11

Wife's out so I have done something a bit sad. I averaged what was said in the 26 declared teams up to post 50. Here is our current collective view of the starting 11.

Goalkeeper
Stockdale 100%

Defenders
Bruno 65% - although some made room for him in midfield
Greer 96%
Dunk 96%
Bennett 100%

Midfield
Holla (100%)
Gardner (69%)
Crofts (42%)
Teixeria (100%)

Forwards
Colunga (88%)
Baldock (67%)

I would go with this team but swap Baldock for CMS (44%). Plus what a bench with Calde (42%), Hughes (8%), Stephens (31%), Solly (23%)

Our least favoured team wouldn't win the league, but they wouldn't lose every week:

Goalkeeper
Casper or Walton both 0%

Defenders
Chicksen 0%
Hughes 8%
Maksi 0%
Calde 42%

Midfield
Kemy 0%
JFC 0%
McCourt 4%
Kazenga 4%

Forwards
COG 0%
Fenelon 0%

 

[Phat Baz 68]

13 Goalkeeper David Stockdale England

3 Defender Gordon Greer (captain) Scotland
4 Defender Aaron Hughes Northern Ireland
5 Defender Lewis Dunk England
30 Defender Joe Bennett (on loan from Aston Villa) England

17 Midfielder João Carlos Teixeira (on loan from Liverpool) Portugal
22 Midfielder Danny Holla Netherlands
24 Midfielder Rohan Ince England

7 Forward Adrián Colunga Spain
9 Forward Sam Baldock England
12 Forward Craig Mackail-Smith Scotland

That is some superb work.

Interesting to see that Holla , who was a complete unknown until a couple of weeks ago, is now a 100% first choice starter.

Indeed, and a lot of faith in Baldock over CMS, which I find surprising. Plus also Dunk doing well to replace Hughes as Greer's partner. Still what strength in depth. Hope they click.
