and obviously if they come in Dovin and maybe a CM over Eccles, ST and CB/RB (Lati will cover other position) added to the bench

No way that Mason-Clarke doesn't play. I think we might change to a 3-5-2 this season.

Torp has to start over Eccles imo, I see him having a massive influence this season. I would like us playing 3 in the middle, with Sheaf Torp and Mason Clark in the 10.

Love the look of that one, very attacking. Eccles and EMC to come on at 60 minutes as well…

Would love us to try 4-4-2 just to see what we can do with it, but I expect us to use 4-2-3-1 for most of the season with Sheaf and Eccles playing almost every game as the two CMs.

We will be using 4-3-3 based on the friendly so far

What is it with some on here ?

We are going to play with two 8s in front of a CDM .
Depending if we sign another midfielder but what we currently have the midfield will either be Eccles or Sheaf holding with Rudoni and Sheaf/Torp in front of that .

Oh good, I didn’t expect that but pleased to hear it, I think we played some of our best football as 4-3-3 last season. Also the best teams in the prem tend to play or have played a variation of 4-3-3. If Pep, Arteta, Klopp etc have all agreed it’s the best then we should be following suit imo.

It's 4-3-3 without a 10 though

Yeah some sort of variation of 4-3-3 anyway, all the best teams in the prem play it or have recently played it (maybe with a bit of changing formations whilst defending), but either way the best teams play something along those lines. The more we move away from 3 (or 5) at the back the better.

We won't play 3 at the back for the foreseeable future IMO

Dovin

MVE Thomas Binks Bidwell

Sheaf Eccles Rudoni

Saka Simms Wright

Still think we will get another right sided player (someone who can cover MVE and Saka), a CM and an ST. Would mean a bench of:

Wilson/Collins
Lati
New RB/RW
Kitching
New CM
New ST
Torp
EMC
Rodriguez

This then leaves the below not even in the matchday 20

Palmer
Allen
Dasilva
Tavares
Burroughs

that’s fantastic depth

Rodrigues looks like being Sakamotos back up . As for right back it opens up a huge opportunity for Burroughs , will be interesting to see how much of preseason he plays .
We do need another cm and striker though

I don't want see Collins or Palmer and I'd like to see EMC given a go while Wright gets fully rested up and ready (unlikely).

EMC is not an 8 , he's not much of a 10 . He is a fast, tricky , direct winger/inside forward . With the players we have I hope he isn't played out of his natural position

So he’s not an 8 or a 10 but he’s a winger/inside forward? Like what’s that then? I’m genuinely not having a go (I never like having personal arguments with people on here, just find it draining) but I don’t think we really know what his perfect/natural position is yet. I assume it’s somewhere on the left side of midfield, either wing/midfield/CAM, but I think it’s a bit early to tell. I just hope we “gently” experiment, winning games whilst learning what our new recruits are best at.
