It's been discussed before but so has every other topic on this board.
I don't like the term "undroppable" I think form should be the only indicator. Well, that's how I go about it on "Football manager"and it works.
It's quite obvious who they are, but what exactly does a "fringe" player have to do to displace a senior member of the first team?
I might be wrong but last time I saw a player overtake an undroppable player's spot was when Gerrard took Redknapp's place in the team. If I remember it correctly Redknapp had a long injury lay off.
Is that the only way?
I mean what if Pacheco started scoring for fun during Cole's suspension, would that have been sufficient enough or would the gaffer look to replace another player in the line up?
You can argue that Arbeloa took Finnan's place or that Alonso took Hamann's but Rafa made it quite clear before they joined that they were going to be first choice.
Skrtel vs Agger vs Kyrgiakos (Kyrgiakos hasn't put a foot wrong since he joined but he's still considered 4th choice, is it his hair?)
Kuyt vs Maxi (Sure, Kuyt is first choice but we can't disregard Maxi. I mean he's an Argentine international FFS)
Babel vs Jovanovic ( This spot should really be up for grabs)
