Obviously total guesses, but you have to filter out guys that are 100 percent going to play in the Copa and then kind of think about where you get the most bang for your buck.degenerasian wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 10:43 am
Any guesses who the 3 overaged American players will be?
So, IMO, you get the most reward with solid, veteran type guys along the backline, or maybe someone playing a holding, defensive midfielder type and you get a similar pop with a striker that can threaten and press younger backlines. The roster, coincidentally, is light in both of these positions.
So, depending on how you rank our Centerbacks... I would say Walker Zimmerman isn't going to be in big boy camp and... McKenzie who is now playing for Genk. There's also Trusty, who partnered with McKenzie in Philly. Miles Robinson, maybe?
Up top, if you use the last full team camp, it looks like Pepi is 3rd in line behind Wright (who is having a career year at Coventry) and Balogun (who isn't in great form, so I could see this being controversial). I can also see Sargent getting the nod here... All depends on what GGG does for the CA.
Some teams like to put a veteran GK in this tournament, but with Slolina in form, just seems like a real waste of a great learning experience for a guy that is going to be in the mix in 2028.
