July 29, 20241 yr I think for me right now: Nkunku, Guiu, Palmer Caicedo, Gallagher, Enzo Cucurella, Colwill, Disasi, James Jorgenson.
July 29, 20241 yr A goalkeeper Reece. CB Colwill. Cucurella Enzo Caicedo Palmer Nkunku Sterling Jackson Need to see how Veiga gets on but he looked good in his limited minutes against Celtic, could displace Cucurella. Enzo and Caicedo both start. you can't spend £220m on them and not play them. Massively overpaid and not againt him being sold but imo Sterling is still our best option at LW. Only player willing to actually shoot. Really like Guiu so far this pre-season but once again he's very raw and need to see more of him. Fill in the rest of the blanks as you see fit.

July 30, 20241 yr Gk Gusto, James, colwill, cucu Caicedo, Enzo, Nkunku Palmer guiu Jackson Enzo is the only one I'm not sure about above...can he sit back and dictate play like an iffy fabregas? If so then good he stays. Using subs as and when tactics (depends on opposition) or tiredness kicks in.
July 31, 20241 yr GK Jorgensen because I’m not convinced with Sanchez. I’ve never seen Jorgensen play 😀 RB Gusto until James gets back to full fitness. CB Tosin CB Colwill. He’s not a left back! LB Cucu DM Caicedo CM Enzo RAM Palmer AM Nkunku LAM Sterling CF Jackson but I’d be tempted to play Guiu
July 31, 20241 yr I've left out Enzo and Reece James LOL. Operative words in the thread title being "right now" and for me Conor > Enzo, and Gusto > James (think James was pretty average when he came back at end of last season). Have taken a bit of a flyer on Veiga at left back, but definitely wouldn't pick Chilwell there, and Cucurella I'm still a bit unconvinced about ... Kepa in goal as the best of our 8 rather average goalkeepers 🙂

Yes it was a very close call between Cucu and Veiga, but I do think I need some more height at left back, given the midfield I've selected, and the slight stature of Gusto on the other defensive flank.
July 31, 20241 yr Having put a lot of thought in to it I will go for this 11: @Valerie @dkw @Zeta @Scott Harris @just @Boyne @Mod @Bluesince66 @CaitlinCFC @mojo @Simplymo

Though I am thinking Ramirez will be a big player for us this season.

Good point about Ramirez. Was tempted to have her instead of LJ. It's very difficult given how well the women have played over the last few years. I did think about including Sophie Ingle. One of those players who you can depend upon. A bit like Bumstead, Makelele and Kante.

Is an embarrassment of riches, hard to go wrong with any of the women's team. All really, really top notch.
