The Premiership XI

One of the regular threads in the manta forum is the match day best XI thread. The big contributors in that thread are Chaosmaster, Totti and pleasantsurprise (I believe it was Totti's idea). They really do spoil us. The idea is that they compile a team of the day from the player's match ratings from each game. It's a sterling effort, and it makes interesting reading.
Totti has now taken this one step further now that season 7 has ended. Naturally, he has compiled a season's best XI, and here it is:

The Manta Team Of Season 7 :


Goalkeeper
E Mickeljoen (Easyfit Walsall)

Defenders
G Woollard (Chaos Shumen)
D Bishop (Chaos Shumen)
P Rowe (Scudders)

Midfielders
A Casey (Smirnenski United)
E Roth (Easyfit Walsall)
W Sass (Mad Dogs United)
I Bridges (Castle King FC)
M Çardinha (Kif Villans)

Forwards
L Much (Inter Milager)
R Grey (Kif Villans)

Two players each from Easyfit Walsall, Chaos Shumen, and Kif Villans. No players at all from this season's title winners Botev Plovdiv!

Nice work Totti!

...I believe it was Totti's idea...

Nope :D

But it is quite interesting how 5 of the 11 best players are of the 3 managers keeping the thing running :)

Ah, my apologies Chaos. I assume it was your idea then? Fair play.

6, and I'm sure it's purely coincidental ;)

Also, big thanks must go to kif for providing the stats that save chaos and I trawling through each match which we did in the early days - that really was a ball acher. I'd tell you how the computer thingy that kif uses works but I've just ran out of time.....
