Sky Sports News this morning discussing this very subject. This is their list of goal involvements : Palmer 29 Saka 22 Foden 21 Bowen 20. Ollie didn't get a mention. The list went down as far as Grealish 4.

That's just taking the p!ss.

Agreed. When a club pays a hundred million pounds to buy you, then you really have to be doing better than four.

It's remarkable.  Did they caveat it with non-strikers or something? (even though that's where Bowen plays a lot of the time)

That list looks very much like they were comparing the players likely to go to the Euros in the attacking midfielder spots.

They were. Sometimes it feels as though football fans are just looking to be offended

So true and with the news that squads will now be 26 not 23 there are more options for Southgate. Ollie and Konsa both shoe ins I reckon.

The list states "Goal involvements of English forwards" I can assure you that i am not easily offended. I would expect Ollie to be included in that list.

Only two players have reached the landmark of 20 goals and 20 assists in a single FPL season. Ollie Watkins has 4 remaining fixtures to match the feat achieved by Thierry Henry and Luis Suarez.

In 3 Premier League games at Villa Park and one fa cup game Watkins has yet to score V Chelsea.
In 7 games in total for Villa he has scored 2 times and they have been the last two Prem matches including earlier this season.

Looks like the Euros squads will be increased to 26 players.

I think it's looking very likely our Ollie will be going now.

The whole thing's hilarious. The most goal contributions in the league, the second most in all of Europe's big five behind a certain Harry Kane, and England are so addicted to the vision of the Target Man that they might bring someone on Brentford's bench instead.

(I mean, of course I think Toney's good. It just looks incomprehensible on the face of it.)

It's funny that since he was annointed for scoring a penalty against Belgium he now can't get a game for Brentford.

Like Ollie's got more than Mbappé in France! I know, played more games (than Toney too, of course, I know), but still, it's mad.
