Not at all - you're a great poster on here but I guarantee Wharton is the 1st player in our midfield duo. He is our playmaker - something I've not seen Doucoure do to great effect. He is an excellent DM though. Once he's up to speed - he'll be right next to Wharton but in the meantime - Hughes or Lerma, IMO. Agree. I’ve a feeling Wharton’s perceived lack of athleticism is his greatest asset as it can blind many to just how good he is. I wouldn’t be surprised to see City wanting him to replace Rodri.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

You are spot on, and with 5 years left on his contract and, i suspect, no release clause, he will brake the English transfer record, the record for a English player, between English clubs is still Rio Ferdinand, Leeds to Man U, 29m, he will go for 100m+

I think we’ll hear plenty of pundits saying things like “We did say he looked a talent last season” at various points. Certainly hope so anyway! COYP!!!! Can’t wait.

Dougie has positioned our club in a great place moving forward. We’ve got really good back up for most of our team and we have already sold our best player for a handsome profit. Things are looking up.

I'm not sure about the First X1 - as others have pointed out it's a squad game involving around 15 players on matchday. I tend to disagree - he improved massively under OG as a hit man/destroyer, but I was up at Wolves where he played like he was the guvnor, flying into tackles, while the rest of the team was too passive. He injured himself in one tackle and had to go off only 10 minutes in - Ahamada replaced him and was the key factor in our improving our play and getting a 3-1 win. Vieira got Ahamada as a replacement for Gallagher (Sambi Lokonga replaced Kouyate) and he is starting to fulfull his potential as a box to box midfielder who can carry the ball. Wharton is clearly number one, and Hughes is behind both Lerma and Doucoure, though Lerma may play more in the back three.

For clarification I'm talking about Hughes starting the early games, not necessarily being first choice all season.

Palace have a lot of depth even if Guehi and Eze both left they still have options (Riad, Kamada, Sarr) For me GK will be interesting 50/50 between Johnstone and Henderson.
And you have players that can come off the bench and make a impact (Sarr, Edouard, Ayew and Schlupp)
