Those teams are a little less bulldozer than the:

Wanyama ----- Dier/Dembele

Sissoko---------Kane---------------Alli

------------------Janssen​

that we might be seeing.
Only because you have picked a team we will very likely never see play together to make it the most "bulldozer" as possible. At least one of Eriksen and Lamela will play unless we were sending out a weak team, in which case either Kane or Janssen and 2 of Dier, Wanyama and Dembele wouldn't be playing.

Do you fancy a punt? I bet you a tenner into sc that we see that 11 on a pitch in the PL?

And yes I did pick the most bulldozer team to make my point but likewise you could hardly class Thiago, Lampard, Cole, Duff, Robben, Essien as bulldozers, hell even Makelele could play football.

OK if Poch starts those 6/7 (without having significant injuries/suspensions) in the league and it isn't a case of 5 with 1 of the 6 playing on defence, I'll donate a tenner to SC and you donate a tenner if Poch doesn't.

If you can class Dier, Dembele, Alli, Eriksen, Lamela and Son as bulldozers, then you can class Makelele, Essien,Lampard, Cole, Robben and Duff as bulldozers.

No caveats, they play together or they don't, the odds are stacked heavily in your favour already wouldn't you say ?

I don't class Eriksen and Lamela is bulldozers. Son is like a baby bull, Lamela like a bull in a china shop sometimes, but not bulldozers. There's definitely something of the bulldozer in Dier, Dembele and Alli though.

No better then. No I wouldn't say the odds are in my favor since you only need 6 (3 of whom are nailed on starters) of 12 players to play at the same time once in 35 games, where as I need them not to play at all together in 35.

But two of those players are Eriksen and Lamela, pretty unlikely Poch would literally drop both of these the same game don't you think ?

ManU, City and too some extent Chelsea have improved their first team significantly therefore they have had very good windows. We have strengthened our squad but not improved the basic starting eleven. Hopefully we will turn some draws into wins which will mean we can still compete with the others as we had a better 'team' than all but Leicester last season. The extra factors is that they all have new managers who may or may not make an immediate major impact

So now you agree that the bull shit "bulldozer" team that you posted won't be played?
