Blimey, this is difficult! I think your top 5 is pretty much spot on. The last few are really difficult as none of them have been 'bad'. Trez, Traore and El Goalzi all bring something to the squad but I don't think are as consistently on top of their game as the first 7 or 8 so that's why I've ranked them 'bottom three'.1 - Jack Grealish2 - Emiliano Martinez3 - Ezri Konsa4 - Matt Targett5 - Douglas Luiz6 - Ollie Watkins7 - Matt Cash8 - John McGinn9 - Ross Barkley10 - Tyrone Mings 11 - Anwar El Ghazi12 - Trezeguet13 - Bertrand Traore
Grealish, Martinez and Konsa are the top 3. Others have shone at different times. Not a huge fan of Mings but 13th seems a bit harsh Risso! I think we can get a bit more out of McGinn and Luiz in the second half of the season, their form has been a bit inconsistent.
The quite frankly astonishing improvement in Targett's play got me thinking about how I'd rank our players so far this season. For me Targett is now easily one of our best players. I therefore thought it might be interesting to see how we see things differently, so if you feel like it, rank our main 13 players. I've picked these as the group who have played 5 games or more, and are probably considered our main squad. Just a bit of fun, obviously being in 13th place doesn't mean the player is shit.Jack is out front for me by a mile, followed by the oh-so-important Emi, the immaculate Konsa and the hugely improved Targett.1 - Jack Grealish2 - Emiliano Martinez3 - Ezri Konsa4 - Matt Targett5 - Douglas Luiz6 - Matt Cash7 - Ollie Watkins8 - John McGinn9 - Ross Barkley10 - Bertrand Traore11 - Anwar El Ghazi12 - Trezeguet13 - Tyrone Mings
Trezeguet probably bottom given AEG’s recent run.
