Lets assume we do not sign anyone else, what would be your starting 11?

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 chance we play that formation.

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…

I can't even explain how excited I am to see the MvE and Sakamoto linkup again. I think it's my favourite Cov partnership ever

Mason Clark isn’t going to play in the 10I like this guy, was thinking exactly the same thing

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
BlueSkiesForever

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
No - sorry. I don't remember what happened last week usually!

He needs to be seriously good to get in ahead of Sakamoto
Huh? They play opposite wings.
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

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 positionRate this tbf

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.
