Our Starting 11...

[daniel corfield]

obviously with alot of movement happening in the team.

uncertainty over the likes of Boly, Coady, Saiss, Moutinho, Neves. i wonder what our first 11 is going to look like come August.

any realistic starting 11s out there?

That’s if Fosun and recruitment perform to the standard of the last two windows . I obviously hope for much much more but won’t hold my breath .

RAN
Kilman
Semedo
Neto

The rest are up for debate I’d add Jonny to this but I just think he will get moved on for some reason in the back of my mind, hope not as him, RAN and Semedo are excellent options for both fullback slots.

Killman Coady Toti

Add in 3 new decent players, something like Celeta-car for Toti, Palhinha for Donk, Guedes for Podence and I think we have a good team.

Keep the pace, energy and aggression of the above, and add more to replace the slow passivity of those leaving, and that's a decent top 10 team still. No one can replace Neves' quality, but bolstering midfield with strength and drive instead and placing the creative emphasis higher up the pitch will compensate.

Not sure of the players but this is the system we need to be moving towards. I also agree will require at least 1 new CB and 2 New CM’s assuming Neves is gone.

I like that side, but I'm not sure about RAN as a full back? Him and Neto are our most promising lads, I honestly think the sky's the limit for both, but I see RAN as a wing back or winger rather than a solid full back. Also Moutinho could be one of those CMs. I'd also like Coady to have a chance to show he can play CB, I'm 50/50 on it, he provably doesn't have the pace on the turn but who knows?

Given Neves is off, they’re exactly the same five that I’d be building around next year.

As for a guess at a ‘realistic’ starting XI…

Sa
Caleta-Car, Coady, Kilman
Semedo, Palhinha, Gonzalez, RAN
Rafa Silva, Maxi Gomez, Neto

Or if 4 at the back

Semedo, Caleta-Car, Kilman, RAN
Palhinha, Gonzalez
Rafa Silva, Podence, Neto
Maxi Gomez

Bolla Kilman Toti RAN
Camara Almedia Palhinha
MGW Neto

I can see Semedo / Jonny being sold along with Coady, Adama, Dendoncker, Neves & Raul

Camara 15m Palhinha 25m Almedia 10m Gyokeres 7m

looks quite a poacher

As you say given Neves is off I agree with you on both sides but I just think Rafa Silva, will be Guedes and Caleta-car will be Milenkovic. I think Maxi Gomez is a good shout but, I also think a young target man will be bought in.

This is how I see it at the moment with regards new players in the starting line up of course there will be tweaks as the season goes with formations especially if we stay five at the back (I'd rather not but think we will tbh) as Gibbs-White could go in a three man midfield and play Neto up top with another for example...

I just feel with so much experience going out the side (Neves, Moutinho and Saiss) I just feel they won't want to lose Coady's leadership on top of that as well..

poor lad cant score in a brothel. He needs to be in a two up top and I cant see us doing that.

I’d like to see him in a 2 up front with (if he stays) MGW behind.

Could see something like this doing well next year without breaking the bank. No chance we get Vitinha though. If Neves is truly gone then invest in a DM and a quality CB

Palhinha as a left midfielder? Ok I suppose it’s all about opinions but that’s definitely left field.

wouldn’t pay too much attention to the formation, I just happened to have it open. Idea would be for Nouri to play as the attacking fullback on the left side, rather than palhinha covering those areas

Yep we are of the same mind.... But I think it could be either of Semedo or Jonny moving on.

I think 4 is about right. My hope is:

CB
CDM Palhinha
CM Nico

Where to start...
1. Neves is off, and MGW most likely
2. Vitinha left us a year ago, not coming back
3. Palhinha is a slow CDM, not a winger/left sided midfielder
4. Fabio should not be our main striker

Apart from that it's fine.

Tbf 4 is about right but Bruno also said he wants ones to replace who leave, so it could be more.

Slight tweak to our formation and rather than a 523 move to a more 343 so the wing backs are far more advanced almost like a RM/LM and wide attackers play more central like 10's to free up the wide space for the wing backs to do the crossing.

thanks Jeff…..always making a profit……definitely some interesting names in there although having only 3 players in main team and swapping 8 is too many for me.
