James Collins – Picked For: Wales. Good Shout? Yes.

Collins has been immense for West Ham lately.

He’s gotten his knee-jerk tendency to hoof the ball up the pitch at every opportunity under control, and has managed to harness the best of his kamikaze defending skills to become a truly valuable asset to the Hammers defence.

He is getting better and better this season, and rightly deserves his starting place in defense for West Ham, as well as his Welsh call-up.
