Best 11 / 18....?
« on: September 02, 2015, 10:08:50 AM »
I think at the moment I would go;

4-4-2
Guzan
Hutton
Amavi
Richards
Lescott
Sanchez
Gueye
Traore
Grealish
Sinclair
Gestede

Bunn
Clark
Bacuna
Veretout
Westwood
Gill
Kozak

4-2-3-1

Guzan

Hutton
Amavi
Richards
Lescott

Sanchez
Gueye

Grealish
Gil
Traore

Sinclair
-----------
Bunn
Clark
Ilori
Veretout
Westwood
Gestede
Kozak

There's flexibility to drop Sinclair back into the 3 and stick Kozak/Gestede up top.

Similarly, Veretout and/or Westwood would come in, depending on opposition.

I know Sinclair has been great recently but I'm not sure he could play 2 positions :-)

Yep that is pretty much the team I would go for except I would have Sinclair on the left of the 3 behind the striker with Grealish or Gil in the middle and Gestede, Gabby or Kozak starting up front.

Looks like you've all written off Ayew already then!

The only player I've written off (available to us right now) is NZogbia.
Ayew, Richardson, Cole, Crespo, Tiago, Okore and hell, even Gabby still could force their way into the 18 or even maybe the 11. We are in quite a good place now squad wise.

so does no one think Veretout is good enough to start or is it just lack of fitness?

I think he needs time. Can see him being a regular starter next season, maybe earlier.

I'm in . though he needs to make a place his own. And up to fitness ! Perhaps similar to milner in that he's got a great engine  adap table to play holding, central and number 10. He tackles as well as delph you see! Okay so I think out of the central midfielder if we categorize him as such for discussion sake up against sanchez , Westwood,Ghana he will score the most goals ! You can book mark that! I would think he's going to play more than  won't and start more matches.

He will be the highest scoring midfielder this season.

I think once he gets up to speed he'll be a regular starter this season - have high hopes of this player.

I'd like to see Veretout in attacking midfield, with Gana and Sanchez defensive midfield and wingers either side of him.

GK Guzan
RB Hutton
LB Amavi
CB Richards
CB Lescott
DM Gana Gueye
DM Sanchez
RW Traore
AM Veretout
CF Sinclair
LW Grealish

SUBS
Bunn
Crespo
Clark
Westwood
Gil
Ayew
Gestede

It's actually quite tricky to limit yourself to eighteen, which is pretty positive.

Guzan, Hutton, Amavi, Richards, Lescott, Gueye, Sanchez, Traore, Grealish, Sinclair, Gestede (4-2-3-1)

Subs: Bunn, Clark, Westwood, Veretout, Agbonlahor, Gil, Ayew

That still gives us the likes of Kozak, Ilori, Bacuna etc to bring in as required.

It looks on paper a decent squad, let's hope that look translates on to the pitch!
