Ok, who from last seasons footballsouth premier league should've been picked?

I agree that the above players are the best of the bunch that were picked, but that's only 15 players. That's at least 7 short of what is needed to support a summer season. 

I do think there were a few of players who maybe shouldn't have been picked, but at the same time I can see why they were. You need a squad of players, able to cope with injuries and suspensions in all areas. There were weeks where Fitzpatrick, Ferguson, Joy, Attwood, Stewart, Connor, Little were all unavailable. That's 4 (plus Connor who played there) defenders, and people expect Southern to cope with that! Be realistic..

It should be noted that MF and TM watched league games every week last season, so you would say they got a pretty good understanding of the best squad of players, of those who made themselves available.
