One game left, yes, but this should be the team after 17 rounds.

Is this your team, or someone else'? Expected to see Vorm in there, V/d Wiel is also a bit dubious if you ask me although I can't think of a better RB right now

These were my picks.

Michel Vorm has been strong, but Babos and Romero were better, IMO (albeit with much better protection). Van der Wiel has been pretty solid I think, and offensively he always adds something extra. You're right, there aren't any better options at RB. Stam's OK at Twente, Marcellis was driven crazy by Stevens' rotation and it visibly affected his performances.

-------------------Suárez (Ajax)--------Amoah(Nac)----------------------------------------------------

Vermaelen. No El Hamdaoui? Pranjić on the right?

Admittedly, I could have used Jan Vertonghen in midfield ahead of Brama.

I really like Vermaelen this season. And with Pranjic you don't have to pay attention on wich side he's standing. I just wanted him next to Vertonghen.
And I don't think El Hamdaoui is very special. He scores a lot I admit. But that's more because AZ is just playing very well.

Same could be said about Amoah tho

But I had to choose one and so I choose Amoah.

Picking Amoah was kind of difficult for me, as I'm still not entirely convinced of his abilities. One can't deny his record though, so he had to be included. El Hamdaoui is an entirely different story in my opinion, technically a far more gifted player. You make it sound as if he depends solely on AZ, while most of his goals are products of his own skill and creativity. Surprised, you see it so differently.

I kind off agree, Amaoh has played many seasons in the eredivisie and this is already his most productive by far

Same for El Hamdaoui
