Who played most for Kompany?

[ClaretTony]

We played 84 league games under the management of Vincent Kompany but which ten players were selected in his starting line-ups the most?

1 Cullen 66
2 Brownhill 64
3 Muric 51
4 Vitinho 49
5 Roberts 47
6 Beyer 44
7 Taylor 42
8 Maatsen 38
9 JBG 35
10 Berge 34

[Pickles]

Cullen
Vitinho
Tella

[ClaretTony]

Cullen
Vitinho
Tella

First two both in

[RammyClaret61]

Muric.

[GetIntoEm]

Muric

[Bordeauxclaret]

If Vitinho is 4th on 49 I’d guess Muric is in there?

Brownhill should be high.

[morninbob]

Brownhill, jay,

[ksrclaret]

I'll add Beyer and Brownhill to the list

[daveisaclaret]

Charlie Taylor

[Bordeauxclaret]

Robert’s was involved a lot last year so I’d go for him and JBG

[Selby Claret]

Berge
Maatsen
Taylor

[Cheshireclaret]

JBG
Brownhill
Roberts

[NewClaret]

Oooh tough one.

I would say (not in order):

Cullen
Muric
Vitinho
Brownhill
Beyer
Maatsen
JBG
Berge
Barnes
JBL

[Cheshireclaret]

Taylor Harwood-Bellis

[ClaretTony]

You've got them all - added at top of thread

[ksrclaret]

Out of interest, and for the sake of completeness for me, who was the 11th most selected?

Just to see if we can make something resembling a proper team out of it.

[daveisaclaret]

Knew Taylor would be in there and yet Kompany never actually wanted to play him at left back. An odd one for me.

He started quite a bit at CB in the champ season too

Didn’t think Taylor or Roberts would be so high actually.

Brilliant. Thanks very much.

Will struggle to make that a decent eleven given he didn't find a centre forward to feature as consistently!

Just had a look at Dyche's - he had two goalkeepers and three strikers in his top eleven

But when you get a balanced manager - this is Howe's most used 11

Grant
Trippier Edgar Duff Mee
Wallace Marney McCann Stanislas
Rodriguez Austin

Seeing that 11 has taken me right back to the 2011/12 season. It felt like that was the line-up for most games.

Not a very pleasant season to watch but certainly a few good players involved.

It's just about spot on but Bartley was in joint 11th with Stanislas over that season so he'd have been first sub to come on

[gawthorpe_view]

Excellent info and one or two surprises in there for me.

[Rowls]

Cork is the man, above all others, who I wished placed far higher on that list. I truly think it would have given us a better chance last season.

Ah well. That's life.

So, do I.

Thread after thread just seems like an indictment of ALK and VK.

[Goliath]

Surprising how high Brownhill is. I always got the feeling VK didn't really want him in his team straight from the get go. He dropped him numerous times but he'd always find his way back in as it became obvious we lacked bite without him.

[andyh]

And by accident you’ve highlighted what the problem has been. Those numbers are ridiculously low. How can you get any sort of cohesion when the team isn’t stable. Contrast that with ANY 2 consecutive seasons under SD. Kompany tinkers way too much just for the sake of it. I’m glad he has gone.

[CoolClaret]

Some may say that Vincent Kompany played Alan Pace the most...

[Stproc]

Benson only 15

[Row Z]

Has anyone seen any posts from any of the players on social media regards VK’s move?

I’ve seen a post from Beyer and don’t think I’ve seen another?

Seems strange when VK pretty much signed the whole squad and suggests all was not well?

[Buxtonclaret]

You're certainly not alone thinking that.

[Bop]

It would be interesting to see the transfer fee next to each of these where applicable.

Perhaps they are keeping shtum at least until they know who the next manager will be.

[RammyClaret61]

Benson only 15

That’s surprised me also. Just 15 starts! 27 sub appearances & Scored 14 goals.
