They all have numbers & usually carry them through from the U23s just all aren't always included in the first team squad list it was the same last season - not entirely sure why but @SBchimp may know more.

Anyway;

Dinanga 34
Cashman 35
Bapaga 41

George was no.42 last year and again this year. They only typically publish numbers when they get close to the 1st team. A few more may appear prior to the BC cup game

Tavares 7 or Tavares 11 shirts would probably break records at the club shop, he should have just been bold and asked.

Does anyone know why Palmer is 45? Has he always been that before? Just seems a bit of a random selection if not with other smaller numbers available.
Click to expand...
Michael Jordan wore number 45 on his return to the Bulls, so there was a period where it became slightly more popular with players who would traditionally have lower numbers. Similar to 23. Might not be the reason for Palmer at all, but could be an indirect link.

Any idea why Godden has the number 24 shirt?

Stephen Bywater had the number 43 shirt as that was the age his mentor Les Sealy died

William Gallas wearing number 10 that year should have seen Arsenal expelled from the league.

Players seem to want to have more individual numbers these days. All part of building the ‘brand’.

I vaguely remember an outfield player having the number one shirt (not David James when he played one game upfront for Man City), but I can’t remember who it was.

Kind of surprised that Bidwell didn’t put a claim on #3. Thought Tavares might have fancied a lower number too.

He wore 27 at Swansea i think

Bony was playing up front with #2 when he went back to Swansea. Said it was in honour of it being his second stint

Seem to remember Davids doing this at Barnet when he was there. Wouldnt allow the GKs to have No1.

I like how Argentina just went in alphabetical order in 78




Goalkeepers aside Italy used to do it in order of position so 2-9 would all be defenders and so on

Didn't Tarantini join Blues & was an absolute head case? I'm sure he went into the stands at St Andrews to confront a fan!

On my FM unwritten squad numbering rules I'd have 3 or 6 for leftbacks, 11 if feeling particularly saucy and they can double up as wingers. Only 2 on the right though, nobody's wearing 7 at wingback in my club.
