Dont agree with your comparison of Xhaka to Shelvey and Savage. whule Xhaka has the same ability to pick up cards, they are both far more mobile and offer better protection to the defence.

Fair enough. But to Xhaka's credit, he's always had an eye for the odd Hollywood pass, coupled with a taste for taking long shots.

More Jonjo than Savage, if you will.

Strange that players who wouldn't look out of place at a CL club are considered EL level, but hey-ho.

Torreira is no better standard than Holding, Guendouzi, Pepe, Martinelli or Tierney.

Martinelli is probably the most talented out of that group followed by Guendouzi/Pepe. Once Holding is fit again and TIerney is settled they will be our 2 best defenders I guarantee.

Ozil should be part of the family silver, and Pepe should be a regular top 4 starter. The rest I more or less agree with.

Yeah because Ozil totally contributes as much as Auba and Leno

I also had Torreira firmly inside the Europa group, but only bumped him up so as not to leave the 2nd group blank.

Strange how you've put martinelli in the Europa block instead of the kids one.
