I think if Saka is injured or rested then either EMC or Haji would go on the right and the other or Palmer on the left. Technically Palmer could also cover the right but he’s much better inverted, cutting in as opposed to the other two that have the pace to go on the outside.Don't care. It's gonna be a dangerous front 3 regardless with a great sub go come on too
We need a proper replacement for saka on right though. Still dun o if rafa can play there or emc? I mean properly
Maybe buy a new rwb and mve can play rw when saka needs a rest
He hasn't properly rested, then rebuilt fitness though.Wright-Simms-EMC if Wright is close to being fit enough. He probably won’t be unless he get minutes against Roma and Werder Bremen.
His base fitness and match will be higher than most of the squad as he was involved in the Copa America.
It'll be back to the seventies with 4-2-4 I reckon! No not really,EMC will start the first game because Wright won't be ready.
It will be an interesting battle for the shirt through the season.
Also I think in some games, particularly against weaker opposition, we will see all four forwards on the pitch in a 442, that would be fun to watch.
Simms, EMC, Saka, Haji, and possibly BTA will most likely all play if fit, they just won't all be on the field at the same time.Assuming Haji is 100% fit what would be your front 3 against Stoke?
Simms EMC and Sakamoto were great last night but Haji was arguably our best player last season.

And that’s assuming Rafa isn’t upto the standard yet. I think we’re fairly well covered.
I'm not sure Wright will be match fit in time.
I'd go EMC - Simms - Saka.
I would be amazed if Wright goesI wouldn't be at all surprised if a good offer comes in for Wright in the next couple of weeks and we accept it.

Ignoring the easy cop out answer of 'Haji won't be fit' and addressing the actual question where we were asked to assume he was 100%... err... idk.
Sakamoto Simms EMC had a lovely balance to it but you can't just bench your top scorer can you? I think it is probably Wright... for now.
Edit: what a lovely problem to have
If I'm not taking the easy way, I think Wright starts (if he's fit). He's our top scorer, you don't just come in and replace him after a couple of friendlies.
Wright - Simms - Saka
To think we have the quality of EMC and BTA waiting to come on, both fresh with pace, trickery and a very high work ethic. That front 5 are going to cause some serious problems.
Easy. Wright Simms Sakamoto.
No reason to do that.I wouldn't be at all surprised if a good offer comes in for Wright in the next couple of weeks and we accept it.
Saka simms Haji if all fit and firing. The new boys earn the spot like those 3 had to!
If Haji not fit then the exciting EMC.
I'm thinking of Thomas-Asante as a far more useful Godden this year, which should help maintain Simms for the season touch wood. Sheaf Eccles Rudoni midfield
Mve Thomas binks Bidwell defence
Dovin between the sticks.
3 points, ground out but with an insane bench of... Palmer BTA Kitching Toro Tavares da Silva EMC and Eccles. Can't fucking wait for it all to start what a wonderful squad we have
