Only a 4-0 win to start the season, that's probably not enough to keep his job!

Would be interested to hear @diego's selection methods - either he's put in an extraordinary amount of research, or taken some very random punts!

Think I've missed a trick by not including Lopetegui, but anyone not including Ismael, given Watford's recent record, has missed a bigger trick! My team : Mauricio Pochettino (Chelsea) Roy Hodgson (Crystal Palace) Erol Bulut (Cardiff) Neil Warnock (Huddersfield) Daniel Farke (Leeds) David Wagner (Norwich) Gareth Ainsworth (QPR) Russell Martin (Southampton) Valerian Ismael (Watford) Ian Evatt (Bolton) Joey Barton (Bristol Rovers) Paul Warne (Derby) Darren Ferguson (Peterborough) John Mousinho (Portsmouth) Ruben Selles (Reading) Pete Wild (Barrow) David Horseman (Forest Green) Simon Weaver (Harrogate) Nigel Clough (Mansfield) Michael Flynn (Swindon)
