How good are Crystal Palace?

[MarkA333]

We won the FA cup, the Community Shield and the UEFA Conference league in one year.
Our players are valued at the same numbers as the top squads. We have 12 players in the World Cup, only Man Utd have more players appearing and I wouldn’t take any of theirs even their horrible captain. Isn’t it time we actually realised that we have a potentially great team. Let’s keep it going. One more good year, then another good year.

Not bad.

measuring it by 'number of players in the WC' is a dodgy methodology. You could have that amazing Georgian from PSG and maybe sometimes the Small country doesnt get into the WC.

Then we got Tyrick Mitchell....my favourite Eagle...not at the WC at all.

Then you get clown countries into the WC cos its easy to qualify where they come from. Samoa.... not really a very pacey squad of marathon runners ? More like a bunch of Sumo wrestlers.

Then you get the Fergie effect, great players are not really encouraged to do much International Duty.

Scotland & Ireland sometimes qualify for the WC even if half their squad play in League One, or worse, the SPL.
