Football is mad like. It felt like it was two years ago people were calling Burn the weak link in your side, and he was getting torn apart by Antony. Now he's scoring headers in cup finals and is in conversation for team of the season. :lol: 

In fairness, he was playing LB than, and while he did a stand-up job for the most part, he was clearly very limited in that role. He has the perfect attributes for that CB role (bar pace) though, and its his stronger position, so its not a surprise he's been imperious since going into that role.

Oh aye, I've watched you a fair bit and he's a beast. I find him likeable as well.

Has sels been that good? Or is it his defense in front of him? 

Third in the league for most saves which is rare for a team that's been challenging near the top. It's normally mid-table keepers or teams going down and been cannon fodder that are near the top.

The exercise limits you to two from each team.

 

Can't omit Isak or Tonali, so Burn misses out.

Isak misses for me - just can't leave Burn or Tonali out

Fernandes is the best midfielder in the league. Has to be in the team IMO.

 

I actually wanted to get Mac Allister in. Think he's been class. 

 

Tielemans is a good shout. Very underrated by many.

Can't believe people have a team without Dan Burn 

 

yet have Gvardiol :burn2:

 

 

 

This is why I did this rule. I knew it'd force people to decide between say 4 players who would all be nailed down for me were there not to be a cap. Isak, Hall, Burn and Tonali.

 

It's as expected with Burn missing out in place of Tonali for many, which personally I don't agree with at all. Isak has been the best in his position in the division and Burn has been too, with virtually no sub-par performances all season. Tonali only really got going about 40% into the season. He's helped transformed us, but for me Burn has been absolutely pivotal in all our success both on and off the pitch this season moreso than any other player.
