I'd definately take Adam Johnson, technically fantastic and our best winger in my opinion.

Young for sure.  Walcott more than likely.  Johnson also for me.

After that I'm not too sure.

Sturridge is an interesting one as he can also be used as a striker.  Versatility can often get you into a squad as much as ability.

20m for Downing. We did well there.

Adam Johnson is good but he doesn't play.

Walcott is a striker who plays on the wing.

Same with Sturridge (but he is quite good on the wing.)

I wouldn't take Sinclair.

Lennon, Walcott, Young, Johnson

Could take Sturridge as one of the 5 strikers.

Yeah, forget about taking players in form. Why not just take the ones who have been rubbish before.

And Lennon's currently not as good as that. Why wouldn't you want to pick players who are playing well rather than playing poorly?

Which four wingers would you take then?

Lennon is a good player.

Probably the best right winger that we have.


Young
Ox-Chamberlain
Walcott (overrated aswell though)
Sturridge
Milner

I think over the course of the season Nathan Dyer's been more consistant than Sinclair.

I don't think Walcott is over-rated, he's just not a winger. Play him through the middle and he'd put away a lot of chances.

Dosen't do it in the big games enough for me.

I do agree out wide isn't his thing, he may be more effectivce upfront but Arsenal don't play a 4-4-2 anymore.

He is kind of wasted at Arsenal but think back to those two chances Gabby had last week when he was clean through on Foster, i reckon Walcott would have put at least one of them away.

Remember when Michael Owen was young and fast and lethal?

That is Theo Walcott.

I'd consult FIFA 2012 before making any decision.
