Team structure
Typically the GK was a cheap GK with McCarthy as a reserve
In the main 2 defenders from the group of Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool and Spurs were in the team
There was virtually an equal amount of teams with 4 midfielders and a £4.5m 5th mid. The other half played with 5 proper mids.
There was a mixture of values of strikers
Only 5 players over £6.0m are outside the teams of Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool and Spurs. Those are Mane (2), Mahrez (10), Payet (2), Ayew (2) and Gomis (4)
Here’s a team to represent that. The value is less than £102.0m
