#64: Matters of the EFL Variety

Our competitive juices flowed once more as we went head to head in a draft of Championship players, to see who could pick the strongest starting XI. With different tactical philosophies and player profile priorities at play, the results are MAGICAL.

Here's a fun premise for a podcast - let's shine a light on the unsung heroes that play in the EFL. Which player at your club doesn't get the credit they deserve, but whose absence makes the team look lost? We picked a few of our favourites and presented your answers... including getting one of your suggestions on the phone, as David Wheeler of Wycombe came on to discuss being 'unsung' as an attacking player and sports psychology, which he is studying. We also spoke to The Athletic's South American expert Jack Lang on the career and character of Reading goalkeeper Rafael Cabral! This podcast is sponsored by The Athletic.
