There are plenty ways to pick a team. Some rely on stats. Others on highlights.
Hugh Dunnit keeps it simple.
He goes on instinct, strong opinions, and what he calls “a proper eye for the game.”
After changing his mind more than once, he’s landed on this week’s Team of the Week.
One rule — one player per club.
🧤 Goalkeeper
Hugh was quick to lock this one in. “A name like Simba, you’ve got to perform—and the big man did.” Another commanding display between the sticks, pulling off saves that had Hugh muttering, “aye, he’s no bad actually.”
🛡️ Defence
“Solid. Dependable. The kind of defender ye wish ye had in five-a-sides,” says Hugh. A no-nonsense performance that ticked all the boxes.
Hugh loved this one: “Four crosses that should’ve been goals? That’s no his fault—he’s done his job!” Creativity from the back earns him a spot.
Hugh just shook his head and said, “Again? He’s in every week… but fair enough.” Consistency gets rewarded.
⚙️ Midfield
A proper engine in the middle. Hugh’s summary: “Does the dirty work so others can look good. Every team needs that.”
“Won every battle? Right, he’s in.” Hugh’s not one for overthinking midfield selections.
Aggression, quality, and a MOTM performance—Hugh called it “a bit of everything… like a footballing mixed grill.”
A goal, an assist, and constant danger. Hugh noted, “Defenders will be sick of the sight of him.”
🎯 Attack
Unplayable, a goal, three assists—Hugh didn’t hesitate: “That’s ridiculous. Get him up front.”
Two goals and all-round play sealed it. Hugh simply said, “Strikers that graft and score? Rare breed.”
“Listen, it’s no easy picking this team. Plenty boys unlucky—some very unlucky actually—but that’s football. If you want in next week, just play better… or make sure I’m watching.”
No buzzwords, no shortcuts — just lads doing it right. That’s Scottish amateur football as Hugh sees it.
