[D'Jaffo]

Players out of position but there you go.

I tried it. Couldnt work out how to post a photo here though. Wasnt massively convinced by the shortlist either but I ended up with a 4-4-2 of

------------------McCrorie-----------------

Smith --- McCart --- O'Brien --- Harvie

Flannigan --- Kelly --- Doran --- Forrest

----------- Shankland --- Clark ------------

Personally not convinced Harvie is any better than Kevin Holt but Holt wasnt available. I might also have had El Bakhtaoui at least as an option to choose if not ahead of Forrest. He has as many assists as anyone despite leaving in January. 

Edit - actually, as much as I prefer a 4-4-2, given the dearth of stand out midfielders I probably switch to a 4-3-3 and put Nisbet in over Forrest who was better last season than this one.

Aye I couldn’t find any central midfielders that I thought really stood out. Kelly for us maybe but he’s been very hot and cold.

No Nisbet?

Doesn't deserve to be taken seriously, especially since you combine a glaring omission with suggesting El Bakhtoui merits a place.

Did you read it before you quoted it? 

And no, if its a front two I wouldnt have Nisbet over the Shankland / Clark pairing. I would put him in a three though ie ahead of Dobbie this season.

Think what you like about Bakhtaoui. Fact is he directly set up about 7 or 8 goals in half a season (& scored one). If McCrorie makes the short list he should too. The departure of both is why we tumbled down the table after Xmas.

Nisbet has played in a 4-4-2 many times this season.

El Bakhtaoui 

Fucking hell.

I'm sure he has but I dont consider him part of the best front two if only picking two strikers.

Surely it's which players have had the best seasons, not which are the best players? And Nisbet has, undoubtedly, had a better season than Clark has.

[Trogdor]

Shortlist players are a bit dubious. I went for the following, no apologies for my Ayr United bias:

Never totally comfortable doing this due to the relatively few times you see opposition players.

[D'Jaffo]

It’s not based on partnerships though. If it was then Moffat and Shankland would’ve both been in it last season. It’s based on the two single best strikers in the league which this season have been Shankland and Nisbet.

I expect that is the majority view, its not mine. I rate Clark very highly, I always have, i dont think Shankland would have scored anywhere near as many if it werent for Clark. A bit like Dobbie fed off Dykes last year. The best forward isnt necessarily the top two scorers. I would have Clark ahead of Nisbet.

Just here to say it annoys the f**k out of me that the Dunfermline badge isnt centralised.

Why then don't you have a central defence from the same team, or even the full back 4 from the same team?

Also Nisbet is a better forward than Clark.
