Best I could do. Some players may be slightly out of position. There are a bunch of 22-year-olds that could be considered U21 since they turned 22 after the season started, but I didn't include them. Also, I believe all of the players listed appeared in a minimum of 5 or 6 matches (with the exception of Butland who is on loan at Birmingham - couldn't think of a single other U21 keeper who has actually played?).

I didn't know exactly how young some of those Liverpool guys were.

It's ridiculous:

Jordan Ibe, 17
Raheem Sterling, 18
Samed Yesil, 18
Suso, 19
Jack Robinson, 19
Adam Morgan, 19
Andre Wisdom, 19
Philippe Coutinho, 20
Conor Coady, 20
Jonjo Shelvey, 21
Sebastian Coates, 22
Fabio Borini, 22
Jordan Henderson, 22
Joe Allen, 23
Daniel Sturridge, 23
Martin Kelly, 23

All of those guys have made senior appearances, and several of the younger ones have really featured quite a bit for their age.

i can't think of another. de gea is one of those you mentioned who is still technically u21.

it seems bad for the EPL that that everyone in that XI is a no-brainer at this point.

Naw, if I lived in France, it´d be wrong. I don´t, so I pronounce his surname as it should sound.

´Veesie´ B is a soft b pronounced with a slight rounding of the lips.

First I've heard of this. Would like to see him get regular playing time, wherever that may be. Glad it's not Chivas. I guess he wasn't Mexican enough.
