One of the most debated facets of our year (and previous years really) is the MC - how and why they choose who they do.

Obviously we're not privy to niggles and what goes on behind the scenes, but how are we actually choosing the team each week?

What weighting do we, and should we, place on structure vs players who are actually in form? There is every possibility that the six most 'in form' forwards we select will be all smaller players which will kill us when we have to kick the ball into an organised defence on gameday.

Is there also an element of "rewarding the hardest trainer" in selection? If there is, is that 'short term pain for long term gain' or doe it actually hurt our chance by not putting on the most talented 22 each week?
