As I said in my TOTW Prediction for this week chaps, apologies for the extra weeks wait, life's just a bit topsy-turvy at the moment! As far as I'm concerned we are nearly finished with this team though and below is my first and probably last draft before the final team is hopefully posted next week!

Also for those that haven't yet seem them, you can find Part 1 here and Part 2 here

Your opinion mattered!

I would honestly have not considered Gary Cahill or David Marshall for a TOTS card before I started reading through the comments and seeing your reasoning as to why both should be included. I wrote a paragraph on both of them in Part 2 a couple of weeks ago and since then my opinion on them has only been improved further; especially in Marshall's case as since then I've again witnessed the absolute shambles of a defence he has to put up with! No, there is no Caulker but the previous sentence pretty much sums up as to why he's not being considered

Your opinions will continue to matter!

You may have noticed I've left three blank spaces in the side. These are spaces I'm unsure as to who should fill them, but still have a good few players in mind and I need your help! If you could help me decide on one goalkeeper from the top shortlist and two defenders from the second, that would be fantastic and then we'd almost have our team! Note, I have also changed my mind (again) on a few players and have opted to add in some new ones to the shortlists, so you may not have seen them considered before.

GK: Petr Cech (Chelsea)

GK: Wojciech Szczesny (Arsenal)

GK: David de Gea (Manchester United)

GK: Tim Howard (Everton)

CB: Per Mertesacker (Arsenal)

CB: Laurent Koscielny (Arsenal)

CB: Phil Jagielka (Everton)

CB: Sylvain Distin (Everton)

CB: Dejan Lovren (Southampton)

CB: Curtis Davies (Hull City)

If it makes any difference, at the moment I'm leaning toward Szczesny, Mertesacker and one of the Everton two. Of course all other views on the team are appreciated but it's going to take quite a convincing argument to make me change my mind at the moment!
