An all-timer. Sanchez and Artautovic wing-backs. De Bruyne holding midfield. Jeff Schlupp doing the business at CB. Prime Garth.

I can’t actually believe I missed this one but it might top the lot. His team of the week successor, striker Troy Deeney, in DEFENSIVE MIDFIELD. Proper Garthtastic. Thread complete.

Guardiola would be proud of this one. Matip, Doherty and Yarmolenko at LB and CM. Also clearly saw Vardy as a winger despite only playing there 8 times in his nearly 500-game career. Very Garth.

Garth despises midfielders. Andre Ayew, Payet and Ozil will do the job. Kane and Vardy on the wing (?). All out attack. At least the defense is sound.
