Some of the fifty is odd. Pijnaker lucky. Mata seems very unlucky. Not playing but at a reasonable club v lots of experience but not a club. 
McCowatt and Garbett are listed fairly closely. Garbett has taken international games by the scruff of the neck for us before. McCowatt…under appreciated but also hasn’t bossed any games. He needs to press his claim to be a main man. Just and Garbett definitely do imo. 

But his club form is undeniable. 

I don’t think that’s a big problem with the list. 

Edit:
LBS I think genuinely has something for us that only Old and Cacace have. I was so excited to see Old treating Ecuador (or was it Colombia?) like he used to A league players- dribbling from the edge of our box with strength and trickery. Chief has over used LBS a bit, but that’s cause he was praying he might burst out fully formed like Marco eventually did. The kid has game changing potential that is almost manifest, but he’s not there yet.
-Edit finished 

It’s a tricky one. Injuries, club form, history, past selections, recent selections, unique abilities and skills, goal scoring for club and country, fitness…

I think there’s some you could argue with, but that’s the point of a list like this right?
