Something like this maybe.
When they are all fit and on top form.

When fit and in top form (which is never) Bruno is roughly 4 times the player Calderon is.

I prefer Calderon.

On current form yes, but Bruno at the beginning of last season was immense and easily better. Looks like it was a flask in the pan unfortunately.

You can prefer him all you want but Bruno IS a miles better player. Just never fit and in form for any period of time. The first 2 months or so of Bruno's time here he was on a different planet to Calderon (and the rest of our squad bar Vicente).

Good.
Cool. Glad we've agreed that you're factually incorrect.
Also if it's fit and in form, Dave HAS to be in (I know you've put him in, I'm answering others).

Disagree. How many times has he been in form? With the exception of the free-kick, where has he been in 'must win' games? Would take Crofts over him every time.
In terms of technical ability (barring Bruno and at times Ulloa) he is comfortably our best player. A lot of people seem to have forgotten how many games he completely ran last season. The question is based on "fit and in form", or as far as I understand it. The fact he was poor in some important games is irrelevant to the question.
Sorry just don't think he's that good. I don't recall many games he ran, Palace aside scored a great goal at Birmingham and versus Burnley, takes a good penalty. Just not my type of player.
Team does not seem to gel for a best team. We still do not have real spine to the side, most missing is the above average central midfielder that is crucial for a classic 4-3-3.
Controversial: as I think Bruno is erratic and Calderon hasn't quite got the physical attributes (pity) I would put Andrews at right back.
I think David Lopez will come good. He looks very fit to me but very much right footed and his set pieces have been abysmal.
I might even try out Lualua as a second striker. He needs a bit more nous/guile though.
Midfielders will take turns to fill the second striker role during each match.
