    looking at the first team midfield and wow theres a lot of good players in the squad.

    Gerrard
    Meireles
    Downing
    Adam
    Aqulilani
    Kuyt
    Lucas
    Henderson
    Cole
    Spearing


    I have no idea who will be playing in the first team (apart from Gerrard and Downing).. Any ideas on players and formations?

    A lot of them can play different midfield roles which is handy.

    I think we'll start something along the lines of

    --------Lucas-------Adam----------

    Kuyt--------Gerrard-------Downing

    Send Joe Cole/Poulsen on their way, send Spearing out on loan with an option to recall and then you have Meireles, Henderson and Aquilani on the bench?

    It's a decent group for sure.

    Still missing a right winger.

    -------------Gerrard-------------
    Downing--------------------Kuyt
    ---------Lucas----merielles------

    Might change Lucas for Adam, would prefer Aqualani to Meirelles.

    I don't see where Henderson fits.

    I thought you would be playing Henderson on the starting 11 due to the price and the expectation for him to do well.

    I'm miffed.

    The first names on my team sheet would be Gerrard, Lucas & Downing the rest its just... i dunno.

    even if we go for our midfield heavy 3-5-2 formation it causes issues in my mind as then we're over stocked for defence - it's awesome

    -------------Gerrard-------------
    Suarez--------------------Downing
    ---------Lucas----Adam------

    I think it'll be something like that. With maybe Suarez and Downing pushing a bit more forward, both cutting in from the wings to shoot from their favoured foot.

    I believe 3-5-2 is the way; this would be my starting eleven
    -------------reina-------------------
    ---Skrtel----carragher-----agger-----
    ---------Lucas------Adam---------
    Kuyt---------gerrard-------downing
    -------suarez-------carroll------

    The bench would also be pretty good with, Doni, kyrigakos, kelly, johnson(possible Rm), aquilani or meirles, henderson and maxi.

    5 Man midfield would mean either 3 at back or dropping Carroll up front or Johnson in defence ??

    Agreed. Agger/Skertle/Carra at the back so:


    ---------Suarez------Carroll------------
    ---------------Gerrard-----------------
    Downing--------------------------Kuyt
    -----------Lucas-----Merielles---------
    ----------Agger--Skertle--Carra--------
    ----------------Reina------------------

    I always thought a 3 man defence would get bollocked at the highest level.

    Well the end of last season we played with three CB's and high up wing backs. We lost 2 games.

    he is on the bench. When the CB is injured he would be my first choice to come on as CB is his best position.

    In a way we have loads too many players- certainly considering we are not in the europa league. I would be selling poulson either aquilani or merieles, jovanovic, insua, cole and then send shelvey out on loan with danny wilson too.

    We're never happy. We moan when we haven't got enough cover, now we're moaning because we've got too many players and we want them all to be in the starting XI.:)
