With everyone available as of now what would be our starting 11, i have thought about it and the more i considered the more confused i got.
Patto Hume - Mepham - Onion - Cirkin Le Fee - Neil - Jobe Roberts - Isidor - Mundle Need better on the right hand side for me and I'm not far off saying **** it, go with Mayenda. Given Rigg, Ballard, Mayenda, Samed, Watson, Browne etc are available from the bench I'd suggest we have a fair amount of depth from the bench when everyone is fit and RLB needs to be making changes early and often to impact games.
Off the top of my head i could probably put 4 different formations and line ups down and be really happy with all 3. Theres days i think 352 is the way to look, then i stop and think the 433 is a great shout, then the 4231 could be an option or a 442
If everyone is fit and playing to their current ability Patterson Hume Mepham Ballard Cirkin Roberts Neil Jobe Mundle/Watson Le Fee Isidor I honestly can't decide between Mundle and Watson as I really rate both of them Not a massive fan of Roberts but if he is playing at his best he is still comfortably our best winger I did think about Rigg on the right but don't like shoehorning players in - i do think Rigg would be a lot more effective on the right if Mundle/Watson is on the left
Yep this^ 100% I can't wait to see Le Fee as a false 9.....he will light up any match with his quick feet and clever brain...

This would be my team too. I think I would go Watson ahead of Mundle at first if only to 'find out'. Are we 100% certain that Le Fey can handle the physicality of the championship in the middle?
I think I’d agree. Not certain regarding Le Fee ahead of Rigg yet and it’s agonisingly close between Roberts and Mayenda, similarly very close between Mundle and Watson. What I do think is that if they start as subs Mayenda, Rigg and Watson should be all but guaranteed to come on for at least 20 minutes and used in some rotation.
Patterson Hume Mephem Ballard Cirkin Neil Le Fee Bellingham Roberts Isidor Mundle Two big lads at the back with plenty of ball players throughout the rest of the team.
I think this working quickly is a key to the season. We need Neil, Jude, Le Fey to produce more chances than Neil, Jude, Rigg. Le Fey looks top class on the ball but I really like Rigg in there. Would be amazing if a 17 old can keep Le Fey out of the side. I suppose we'll find out soon unless RLB keeps him on the left longer.
I wouldn't say most, I think when Neil had a 'slow' start to the season and few kept saying this lad is better.... without watching him Neil and Jobe might be the best CM partnership in the line, I think the Leeds 2 would be the main rivals to that claim
Samed on paper should be our best 6 by far, but he’s never going to get the chance to prove that while Neil is here unfortunately irregardless of performances. Just how it is unfortunately.
