What is the story about?

There wasn’t much doubt about the WAGNH Community’s preferred lineup for this final game of the season, with eight of the eleven starters garnering over 80 per cent of the votes, and only one coming in at below 60 per cent.

That one exception was Jorrel Hato, who’s emerged victorious from the battle at center back, beating out Trevoh Chalobah (44%), Wesley Fofana (32%), Josh Acheampong (28%), Mamadou Sarr (8%), Tosin Adarabioyo (2%), and Benoît Badiashile (1%). Hato is finishing the season in good

form and it’s nice to see him catch the eye of the fanbase.

4-2-3-1 (53%)
Sánchez (91%) | Cucurella (82%), Hato (51%), Colwill (95%), James (81%) | Santos (65%), Caicedo (96%) | Neto (69%), Enzo (91%), Palmer (97%) | João Pedro (98%)

No close races anywhere else. Malo Gusto (21%) and Jesse Derry (13%) were the only other players to reach the double digits. Alejandro Garnacho checked in with just 9 per cent while Liam Delap got just 3 per cent.
