With a fully fit squad, what's your starting 11/formation?

-------------------Vic
Porro Romero VDV Udogie
----------Palinha Gray
---Kudus Maddison Xavi
---------------Solanke
I'd actually swap Porro for Spence, Otherwise that would be my team as well. Bit of a toss up between Gray, Bergvall, Palhinha, Sarr and Gallagher depending on opposition.
 
---------------Vicario
Spence---Romero---vdV---Udogie
---------Gray------Bergvall
--Kudus------Kulu-----Simons
-------------Solanke

Spence vs Porro is the toughest call, but this being a passing rather than a crossing team makes me lean to Spence.

I'd prefer to have Simons at ACM, but he's the only one of that AM trio who can play on the left. So it would be a narrow left, like Erikson used to play narrow right.

For me, Porro vs Spence is easy. It's Porro all day long until Spence gets the bit between his teeth and gets the passion and leadership that Porro has. Spence can actually win that battle but needs to earn it.

The toughest call is how to pick 3 out of Kudus, Madds, Xavi and Kulu and whether Bergval deserves a spot just yet over someone like Palhinha.

Spence can defend, Porro can swing in a decent cross 1 in 5, it's Spence all day long for me.
 
If we have a fully fit squad then Kulusevski is definitely starting. Simons, Romero, VDV and Solanke would also be assured of starting places. The rest would be picked depending on which opponents we were facing etc

Kulusevski when fully fit is our best attacking player I think. Simons will be in future.

Porro is far better than you're making out, technically he is one of our best players on the ball with control/technique and not just crosses but long passes too. Porro gets flogged to death playing literally every game, were Spence to be playing week in week out I guarantee people would be whinging about his deficiencies a lot....
 
....................Vic
Porro Romero vdV Udogie
......Sarr Pahlinha Gray
...........Kulu Simons
...............Solanke

Not particularly confident in any of our wide forwards ATM.

Subs:
Kinsky
Spence
Souza
Danso
Vuskovic
Byfield
Bergvall
Gallagher
Maddison
Williams-Barnett
Kudus
Odobert
Tel
Richarlison

Only allowed to name 9 subs, so IF everyone was fit, that's a few unhappy players.

Kinsky and Maddison! 🤣
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Well yeah because we kind of miss the guy who is a good progressive passer and got 9 goals and 7 assists in the Premier League last season. Where as Kulu got 2 goals less and 3 assists less whilst playing a game more. So not sure why people wouldn't want him in the side.....

Would need to see more of Spence at RB before making that call - shown good promise but only a handful of games there

It's Simons over Maddison for me.
