Time for you to come up with your ideal DWFC line up - imagining a situation with no injuries and no suspensions (we wish)...
Caveat is that of course some line ups will be different according to the opposition - and I've got to be honest, it's actually really tricky as we do now have a strong squad imo, and there's quite a few could have gone either way with such a strong subs bench - but I'll give it a shot;
I'll go first -
Male
Fuller
Cook
Craig
Moore
Francombe
Carter
Bowerman
Prior
Rutherford
Blair
Subs: Briggs, Gallagher, McShane, BJ Taylor, J Taylor (5 subs, I know!)
Tough one to do as we don't know how well Carter will fit in to the team and lots of players are out of form/fitness at the moment. Assuming everyone is fit and at their absolute best then I would say:
Male
Francomb Craig Cook
J. Taylor Pybus
Briggs McShane Blair
Prior Rutherford
Subs: Gallagher, B. Taylor, Bowerman, Carter, Seager
Feels insane to leave out the likes of Fuller, Moore, Muitt, etc but it is so tough to pick a 16! Carter probably eventually takes the place of McShane in the XI though.
This is a real tough ask. But I would go for the following
Male
Francomb
Craig
Cook
Pybus
J.Taylor
Carter
Muitt
Blair
Prior
Rutherford
Subs
B.J.Taylor, Gallagher, Briggs, McShane, Seager

Hmm, pretty tricky, but I would go with the @Steve1966 XI , with Briggs and Muitt pretty interchangeable and not quite sure who is deeper out of Taylor and Carter.
But if we had that team out there for a few weeks, I think they would do some damage!
@baggy Yes it's that front 4 for me - Prior, Rutherford, Barrowman/Muitt/Briggs/Blair that has huge potential...
The 4 wingers (5 if you count Bobby-Joe) are the hardest to pick as you could make a case for any of them being in the XI:
Briggs - Unstoppable at his best but hasn't been anywhere near his best since the injury. 0 goals and 1 assist since he returned last season.
Muitt - Probably our best player towards the end of last season. 1 goal and 1 assist already since his return this season.
Bowerman - Probably our most consistent winger last season. Most assists last season (9) and most assists this season so far (3).
Blair - Been unreal since he joined. 3 goals and 2 assists already.
Mine XI is.
MALE
FRANCOMB CRAIG COOK
PYBUS
BRIGGS J.TAYLOR CARTER BLAIR
PRIOR RUTHERFORD
SUBS, MUITT, BOWERMAN, SEAGER, KENNEDY GALLAGHER.
I put Gallagher in my squad because we are very light on decent defenders. And he would just plug a gap when needed.
