Make a squad of 23 championship players and 1 championship manager but you can only use each club once, meaning each club gets inclusivity. Just thought it’d be a bit of fun in the meantime, here’s my attempt

Manager : Marti Cifuentes (QPR)

GK - James Trafford (Burnley)
GK - Freddy Woodman (Preston)
RB - Milan van Ewijk (Coventry)
RB - Bali Mumba (Plymouth)
CB - Japhet Tanganga (Milwall)
CB - John Egan (Hull)
CB - Dimitrios Goutas (Cardiff)
CB - Michal Helik (Oxford)
LB - Alfie Doughty (Luton)
LB - Cameron Pring (Bristol City)
CDM - Shea Charles (Sheff Weds)
CDM - Wouter Burger (Stoke)
CM - Imran Louza (Watford)
CM - Gustavo Hamer (Sheff Utd)
CM - Lewis Obrien (Swansea)
CM - Marcelino Nunez (Norwich)
CM - Ebou Adams (Derby)
RW - Morgan Whittaker (Midd’sboro)
RW - Tyrhys Dolan (Blackburn)
ST - Wilson Isidor (Sunderland)
ST - Adam Armstrong (WBA)
LW - Manor Solomon (Leeds)
LW - Josh Murphy (Portsmouth)

In for 23 x Gary Breen before anyone else and no you can't have Julian Gray (Coventry).

Anyone who selects the manager as Mark Robins (Stoke) or Robbings or anything else, instant 12 month forum ban!

Have to get Chakvetadze in there as Watford's player. He's so good.

Say if he writes this list down on a piece of paper outside though?

Did you fill players in as you went down the list, or did you pick best player from each team and try make them fit? (P.s. very bored).

Started with the worst teams (in terms of market value on transfermarkt) and picked their best players or one of their best players in my opinion, and fit in the rest of the squad going up the market value of each team in the league

As boring as this thread is - that is an awful GK shout. Well not awful, but incorrect.

Good job it’s based on opinion then is t it.

fortunately the stats back me up.

he is top for PSxG in the league this year, preventing 15 goals more than expected. Next highest is Trafford on 9

I'd imagine Trafford would have had more chances to prevent a goal if he had the Stoke defence

I wanted to get McNally, Chair, Drameh and Sainz in but I couldnt overlook either other players in the same position or players from their club in other position that are weaker, such as for Manager I think Marti Cifuentes is best bet as you dont miss out on too much players wise as the best ones you can fill in another teams player

Did mine slightly different to you. I went for about 8 who I definitely wanted, then filled in a few best players from other clubs where I had space then looked at what positions and clubs were remaining. Rudi about my 5th Cov pick but kept needing the position not to make some areas too weak. Plymouth I had not much left for and think their new manager done pretty well so far even though I know little about him.

*edit: @peteCCFC I know it's a bit dull, but I can't go out and do something more exciting as I'm currently working. I suppose really I got paid to come up with that list and a fulfilling afternoon

I used MvE as I think on form he’s one of if not the best RB in the league and we havent seen him on form this season but we’ve seen little glimpses. I think for me it was just a case of an opinion on some of the best players in their position

Bali Mumba as well.

A name that gets parroted around and people repeat it - but no one has actually ever watched him. Those thet have know he's shite.
