The Phantom, Chief, and Five Names reunite to discuss all things MIDFIELDERS in SuperCoach. 

The Phantom, Chief, and Five Names reunite to discuss all things MIDFIELDERS in SuperCoach.

It's the regular suspects of Bont, Butters and Daicos that are hot on SuperCoaches radars this pre-season... but not in that order! Is paying up the big bucks for Bont worth it?

A plethora of juicy mid-price options are also hard to ignore, but how many can we fit into our squads and are they worth the risk?

Plus, The Phantom's top eight midfielders, Unique Names with Five Names, and the must-have midfield rookies!
