I need suggestions for how to do the rest of the team. Kempus suggested position by position, however due to the various formations played 4-4-2, 4-4-3, 4-2-3-1 etc. a lot of players qualify for multiple positions so it becomes a bit of a headache, not to mention in some formations wingers are considered midfielders... Any suggestions welcome or I will just select the other 2 spots based on a single position: Midfielder #2 & #3.
Team so far:
GK: Michael Vorm, Swansea City AFC
LB: José Enrique, Liverpool FC
CB: Ledley King, Tottenham Hotspur
CB: Vincent Kompay, Manchester City
RB: Micah Richards, Manchester City

This year Lucas has been absolutely phenomenal, and just remember he had to suffer playing alongside Charlie Adam making him effectively the only CM in our 4-4-2.

This one is tough one. Yaya does so much, but off this season alone Barry has been the better DM.

There's a lot of quality DM's in the league this season. I'll have to go with Lucas, he was absolutely outstanding.

I voted for Lucas. If I can find the graphic I'll post it, but statistically, Song and Yaya have been the best in attack -- providing more goals, assists and successful through-balls, but they transition with other deep-lying mid's.
Defensively, Lucas and Parker have been the best, in terms of successful tackles, interceptions and clearances.

I voted Lucas, Yaya Parker and Song deserve consideration as well. Next year, Romeu will be up there.

He hasn't been that good this year.

Forgot about him.. kinda rushed this as I was working on my playoff fantasy cheat sheet for an in-person draft tonight. If you want to write Tiote in, you can, but he'll also be on another poll, yes.

My vote would be for Parker whether Tiote was there or not. I just expected to see him here is all.
In terms of being a defensive mid, I'd easily take Parker over anybody this season. Lucas would definitely be in this team as a CM for me though.

Why does Lucas have twice the number of votes that Parker does? Man, you guys make some ridiculously perplexing decisons in here.

Because we aren't voting for Spurs players? If this was your team it'd just be all Spurs players.

Parker should be the DM and Lucas should get one of the CM spots. Makes more sense.
