HalfTimePost Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I wasn't sure where to post this and realised that these sorts of posts or tables pop up all the time and are somewhat interesting and thought I'd start a new topic for hypothetical tables, etc etc. What If... Only domestic players goals counted in the league this year? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenfly Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) That's pretty interesting. Clearly we're doing something right. Edit: I assume this includes McGinn too? And what about Cash? Edited May 3, 2022 by Greenfly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what about Cash? to be fair if cash's goals counted it wouldn't matter anyway as his goals came in games where other players also scored (i think?) interesting though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what about Cash? I believe this is just English players as it has us at 27 Goals Scored. Watkins 9, Ings 6, Ramsey 6, Konsa 2, Mings 1, Chambers 1, Hause 1, Targett 1. So Cash (3), McGinn (3) both not included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 This has been the case with us for a few years. When we beat Liverpool last year I think we had 9 British players playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he has the right to play for Poland doesn't make him not English any more surely? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 So conversely we would be close to bottom of this if it was based on foreign only players which may lead to questioning our scouting network, although not necessarily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would be 17th. Although on the scouting point, Leicester - often hailed for their immense scouting - would be rock bottom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we literally win the league in this scenario, we can add Cash' goals in for improved GD if you like 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Don't read too much into it fgs. If you play more English players, you get more goals from English players. There's no need to be impressed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 So it’s like the great title battle of 1930-31. It’s been too long since we challenged for the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 i think you only need to look at the england national team striker situation to see it, there is a dearth of english goalscorers around right now theres only us, spurs, leicester, leeds, everton and then maybe someone else near the bottom who have an english striker as their main striker, we then actually have 2 which i don't think anyone else has then factor in vardy, DCL and bamford have been injured for months, its not that surprising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In FIFA rules/standard football approach he is now an English-born Polish defender in the same way Raheem Sterling is a Jamaican-born English forward or Jorginho is a Brazilian-born Italian midfielder - doesn’t matter to the rulebook when you got your second passport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
