    It’s actually 5, not 6 so it’s worse.

    So only one team (Bournemouth) had a majority of their starting line up England eligible. Might not be many matches this season where the majority of a team’s starting line up are England eligible. And only 3 of Bournemouth’s bench was England eligible.

    If we are talking potential options from the newly promoted clubs then Lewis O’Brien could be an option. Stepped up to the PL very easily.

    Quality of the options is more important than the numbers. Maybe just me but the current promoted teams seem to have more options that are closer to international level quality than past promoted batches.

    English eligible players starting in the Premier League, total per matchday: Season 2022/2023

    Matchday 1 - 75/220 = 34.1%
    Matchday 2 - 77/220 = 35%

    The biggest shock is it went up this week. I was sure it was going to go down.

    I wonder why City decided a loan to a championship team was better than trying to get a PL club to take him on loan.

    Talking about another City player on Loan - Taylor Harwood - Bellis got man of the match last night at Burnley v Hull.

    Just the seven Portuguese starters today for their Premier League development Team. Can’t wait for them to one day actually field ten or eleven before maybe the media start to question it.

    Wolves are not big enough I imagine for the press to really question it. It be more noticed in press if they quality for Europe again through as they will have to have a smaller squad as they won’t make UEFA quotas.
