zwaanswijk is the best a-league defender

[tsd]

we all knew it was obvious, but ive been playing fifa 11 and it turns out their programmers know it too! equal second best player in the league apparently...

culina 75
zwaanswijk 72
Ifill 72
carle 71
hernandez, van dijk, fowler 70

no other defenders even close, i think the beachy at 68 is the closest

yeah so now its cold hard fact!

but seriously how good is he? freaking awesome thats how

The Mariners stopper is the new minister of defence. We can't choke up the A-League by bringing over a host of European veterans way beyond their use-by date because it only serves to handicap the development of our young talent.

Zwaanswijk, though, shows there's an exception to every rule.

He has more than 600 top-flight games in the Dutch league on his resume and he is passing that knowledge on to young Australian players.

Despite being 35, Zwaanswijk is the best defender in the league with his ability to read the game and his composure under pressure.

Yup.

Clearly the best imo.

Not at all surprised. The Dutchman is is all class. Or as the Dutch would say, "lekker" (nice).

you can almost judge the quality of a CB with how well wilko partners with them... wilko was great with beachy, epic with vidmar, ordinary with boogs, good again with doig and is becoming great-epic again with zwaanswijk... just my general vibe, not based in facts or anything

Top quality player.

Keeps this up and he'll get player of the year.

I also think that he is better than Beauchamp in season 1.

Very good point. Wilko was always good, but he's even better now.

I'm not sure my family in Hilversum are that keen, but great to see the Mariners selling kit overseas!
