It's a big squad now. Bard not even on the bench

It's still a light squad, 23 of 25 .. Bard is the only one not making the match day squad atm, but if he does James probably steps down. I still think Justin is cover for both full backs first and foremost. He'll play if Gudds doesn't start.

[weasel]

If GG is fit then I would expect him to start. If not then I reckon James Justin will start as think we will wait for the Chelsea cup match to give Bard his debut - giving him time to bed in and learn how we want him to play.

The only other area where I think Farke might go different to me would be over which 2 of Aaronsen, Okafor and Wilson start. I'm leaning towards Wilson and Aaronsen with it being an away game, more about consolidating and then having the option of Okafor coming on later. However I wouldn't be surprised if Farke picks Okafor.

I expect us to go with the back 5, especially with it being away. The back 5, in theory, gives us more chance of keeping a clean sheet and I think a point would be a great return. Keep it tight but with the hope of then nicking all 3 points with the potential pace injection of DJ, Okafor or Bahayo late on.

[Johnsie123]

I would say give us a draw and I would be well happy,most teams struggle there but the defence is solid now good defence,and keeper .
So confident we can get something there even though we should have got another Striker in imo .

[Musicman1965]

Tough place to go to, hopefully we can something from the game.

[Carrick Dave]

I predicted a loss, but I’m quietly confident that our defence will be able to cope.

Start with 5 at the back and change to a 4 pronto if the midfield is getting overrun a la Brentford.

Interesting to see if any of the new signings - and I include Elvedi here - are given a run at any point.

Lot will depend on the formation Farke decides on.
Will he statt with 3 at the back and 5 in midfield?
Elvedi could start ahead of Bijol or even Bogle
I do hope Wilson starts.

Elvedi is too slow to play wing back imo....

[BlackHillsPaul]

Personally, I would go with a 3-5-2.

Be interesting to see how we cope with Brighton.

We've looked very open quite a bit and Brighton don't mess about with possession.

Have a lot of it but get it forward a lot

I'd hope to see Tanaka back in and I think the overlapping cb thing needs dropping without Rodon who had the pace.

I think it would be a real problem if we kept trying it without him.

It's going to take a while to understand what our best starting line up is now, bearing in mind, the Rodon injury and how Bahoya fits... I think Elvedi might be able to play full back to the same quality Struijk did which was ok in a pinch but created issues.

Farke will have a cunning plan, he may use Justin as RCB he has the skill set and engine to get forward on the under lap. Which means Gud starts which is probable, depends on his fitness. He might go half and half with Bard.

Or he may have used Elvis (not a typo easier to spell) in a similar role at the German club previously.

-----------------------------DCL----------Okafor-------------------------------

I like 352, but Wilson in place of Aaronson and - wont happen - but Nmecha with DCL.

I think were going to start seeing 2 in behind the striker again. Wilson and the new kid are perfect there.

[malcolmw]

Think I'll go as follows on starting 11:

Trafford
Elvedi, Bijol, Tarik
Bogle, Ampadu, Stack, Gabi
Wilson, Okafor
DCL

Then see Tanaka, Aaronson, Justin and JMB (maybe) from the bench.

[weasel]

Elvedi is too slow to play wing back imo....

Nico Elvedi has recorded a higher top speed than Gabriel Guðmundsson in real-world matches.

Interestingly, football video games favor Guðmundsson for raw pace over short distances due to his role as a wing-back, contrasting with Elvedi's profile as a traditional center-back.

Maybe focus on real life instead of relying on what video games say.
