    “Which will shock exactly no one.”

    Quoted for emphasis.

    The only possible FCD player who could have been in contention is Dax, who has been carrying the team, IMO. But that’s clearly not enough to get into the starting 11. Maybe the commish will pick him.

    but…but….but…Kenny Cooper has been our MOTM for like eleventy seven games in a row. Shouldn’t that get him on the bench for Best Eleven?

    Garber will pick someone who will put butts in the seats.

    That’s a good eleven, except for Casey who I think is highly overrated.
