With the good news this week I thought it was time Wigan Athletic got a go
So here are 5 players they could sign based on YOUR suggestions
Comment what team + 5 positions I should do next 👇
RB: Kane Vincent-Young
I may have suggested him for a few teams now, but he’s undoubtedly the League 1 free agent right back to look out for, and he remains on the market
He had a good season with promoted Ipswich, but is likely to remain in the division.
CB: Jesse Debrah
Wigan are in need of some fresh defensive legs, and they should look no further than Halifax Town defender Debrah
An athletic, speedy centre back, Debrah is comfortable in possession, and alrrady has plenty of senior experience despite being just 22
LB: Jaden Brown
Another player who has been released by one of the newly promoted sides, Brown never really got a chance at Sheffield Wednesday
He has shown glimpses of his talent, and I believe he needs the platform to flourish. An attack minded full back, Brown is just 24 too
CM: Sam Clucas
Clucas has been let go by Stoke, and I feel he still has the quality to comfortably operate at League 1 level, despite being 32
You have to go back to 2015 for the last time he played below Championship level, and he’s been largely a regular starter in that time
ST: Tyler Walker
Another player who is going to be hot property for League One level is Tyler Walker. He’s available on a free, and almost guarantees goals at this level
If given the right service, Walker will thrive. A natural born goalscorer, he’s still just 26 too
ST: Cole Stockton
Because of the tough time Wigan have had I’ve decided to put in a bonus 6th player. That & I couldn’t decide between Stockton and Walker
North West based, Stockton is one of the most complete forwards at the level. I believe he could even play in Championship

Luke Williams’ latest recruit is attacking midfielder Crowley
He’s especially interesting as he’s spent much of his career in the Netherlands
Here is a thread on the new man, and what we can expect from him 👇
The Key Stats
Age: 25
Height: 5ft9
Last Club: Morecambe
Position: AM (as shown in graphic)
22/23 (League One):
Games: 21
Goals: 2
Assists: 5
1.25 Chances Created per 90
671 passes completed (87% accuracy)
8 tackles won (73% accuracy)
The first thing that catches the eye about Crowley is the speed and quickness of his movement. In particular, how quickly he’s able to manipulate the ball by shifting his feet
Here he completely takes the defender out of the game, opening the space for a perfectly weighted pass
🧵🏴 England play against North Macedonia tonight. England aren’t adverse to former Non-League players, with Mings in the current squad potentially playing tonight
So here is an XI of players in Non-League who I feel could one day pull on the famous 3 Lions Shirt 👇
Owen Foster
Scunthorpe’s 18 year old keeper Foster had a brilliant stint when called upon last season, so much so that he is now going on trial at several Championship clubs
A brilliant shot stopper, Foster has massive potential. Needs the right development
Kellen Fisher
Okay, so Fisher isn’t technically a NL player anymore BUT he only just moved to Norwich, so I’m counting him here
That move says it all for him really - he has genuine potential to be a top right back. He’s already mature beyond his years at 18
Promoted side Sheffield Wednesday were requested yday afternoon. So here are 5 players they could look at based on YOUR suggestions
Remember to comment your team + 5 positions below 👇
GK: Josh Vickers
Wednesday rotated their keepers last season, so you’d expect them to need to add another safe pair of hands
Vickers is exactly that. He’s based fairly locally, so geography works, and he’s shown over a number of years he’s a very capable keeper
CB: Lloyd Jones
A defender I’d like to see make the step up with Wednesday is Jones. He’s been brilliant for Cambridge for a number of years, and is now available on a free
A strong defender, one in his prime at 27, Jones is capable on the ball & would be a cost effective move
