Let’s go right back to the start
of the alphabet to see if we can create teams of current Premier League players
with some of those early letters, starting with the A Team.
Goalkeeper – Adrian (West Ham United)
Defenders – Azplilcueta (Chelsea), Agger (Liverpool), Amat
(Swansea), Alonso (Sunderland)
Midfielders – Arteta (Arsenal), Joe Allen (Liverpool), Charlie Adam
(Stoke City)
Forwards – Aguero (Man City), Adebayor (Spurs), Agbonlahor (Aston
Villa)
Subs or Squad Players – Albrighton (Villa), Alcaraz (Everton),
Assaidi and Arnautovic (Stoke), Aluko (Hull City), Altidore (Sunderland), Anita
(Newcastle)
There’s not a lot of defensive
cover on the bench but that’s not a bad side, especially in an attacking sense.
With Sergio Aguero, Emmanuel Adebayor and Gabby Agbonlahor bearing down on an
opposing defence, there are sure to be goals, with a supply line coming from
Arteta in particular.
There weren't many “A”
goalkeepers to choose from, in fact West Ham’s Adrian was the only one
currently playing. However, he has been in fine form so certainly an inspired
choice! Defensively, there is a mixture of experience and inexperience so it
would be up to Agger and Azpilicueta to guide the other defenders through each
game. There are plenty of options on the bench for an attack minded team but
there isn’t a lot of depth to this squad.
It’s not often the B team is
stronger than the A team but we will find out soon. Stay tuned.
