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

We’ve got a couple of players away on international duty at the moment, one of which is Jodi Jones with Malta
A lot of us will watch him again England tomorrow - but here’s how he got on earlier in the week
The first thing to note is Jodi played up front for Malta. They played a 3-5-2 system, with JJ high up the pitch
He’d often be the striker to drop in. His play with back to goal was surprisingly very strong. Here brings his team mate into play, playing round the corner superbly
You can see here again he drops off to receive the ball, meaning he has to play with his back to goal
But what I like is the way he lays the ball off but then looks to spin in behind
He’s at his strongest facing goal, and he does everything possible to get into these positions
Here are 5 players they could look at based on YOUR suggestions

CB: Nando Pijnaker
A player I recently featured in my Transfer Recruitment Doc (pinned tweet), New Zealand international Pijnaker has had an exceptional season in Ireland
A progressuve ball carrier, the left sided centre back is just 24, so has room to develop
CM: Archie Collins
Collins played almost every game for Exeter last season in League 1, and he is now available on a free transfer
At 23 he’s another that could develop nicely, as well as already having League 1 experience. Capable in a variety of roles also has an eye for goal
The latest instalment is Championship side Millwall
Here are 5 players they could look at
Remember to comment what team I should do next plus 5 positions! 👇
GK: Ethan Horvath
Promotion winner Horvath is likely to be available again, as Forest are stacked in the keeper department. I also feel Luton will look at an experienced PL stopper
This means the big American could be available, either on loan or on the cheap
LB: Sam McCallum
Left back was extremely difficult, however one player I do feel has a lot of upside is 22 year old McCallum
He’s had 3 campaigns at Championship level now. He’s entering the final year of his contract, so may be available on a cheap deal
Newly promoted side Ipswich Town are the most recent focus of this series
For a full breakdown check out the brilliant document produced by @Thomas_Lane11
Remember to comment your team + 5 positions below! 👇
LCB: Eiran Cashin
Derby have already lost a key player, so they’ll be reluctant to let go of Cashin too. But there are scarce few better left sided centre backs than the young Irishman
I’m a big fan of sides recruiting players from the division they’ve been promoted from
RB: Fankaty Dabo
Ipswich may want to add some Championship experience, with free agent Dabo providing just that
He was part of a Coventry side who were almost promoted. He’s better than that penalty miss, and would add genuine quality to their side
