Something I heard the other day, try to make your best 11 premier league team from the rest of the premier league teams not including any top 6 team players, then see if you think your selection would break into the top 6.

Mine is as follows in a 3-4-3 formation

Pope
Lascelles Tarkowski Maguire
Coleman Gueye Mooy Bertrand
Zaha Vardy Mahrez

I think that might have a chance of competing with Arsenal.

good team that, it's hard to think of better but this one might give them a game

Fabianski
Smith Shindler Mee Masuaku
Doucore Ndidi Shelvey Allen
Richarlison Arnautovic

Fabianski
Coleman - Lascelles - Maguire - Bertrand
Doucoure - Ndidi - Lanzini
Zaha - Vardy - Mahrez

There are some good options for an 11, however, its tough to see them break the top 6 and even more difficult to see them break the top 4. Shows the gap in depth between the top 6 and the rest.

I hope you're wrong mate cos we're signing Mahrez!

1 man doesn't make a team, look at Loserpool, you can only go so far

In fairness, though, an 11 on paper doesn't make a league squad. I could easily see any of the XIs suggested making it all the way to a cup final. Put all the players together into a squad, and add a couple more for depth, and you're easily challenging for top 6, I'd say, although probably not top 4.
