Your first team to start the season inc. potential signings

Marshall

John
Cala
Fonte
Fabio

Dikgacio
Burgstaller
Whittingham

Daehli

Macheda
Le Fondre

4-3-1-2

Daehli in free position playing off the strikers etc.

Same team, maybe Brayford instead of John and Guerra over ALF, so ALF can be an influence off the bench

Well I can guarantee You've got Cala wrong for a start.

Like your team. Pretty much spot on for me. Would probably say Guerra starts over le fondre. No mutch though? He has been pretty shit in pre season. But on form I would start him.

Turner to add some clout to the defence and Mutch to drive forward from deep. Give Dahli a free role as the playmaker

Brayford Fonte Keane (Cala once suspension over) Fabio

Dikaghoci (sp) Mutch Whitts

Dhaeli Macheda Burgstaller


Mutch breaking forward from midfield

This could be it if we sign Fonte

Cala & Noone won't be in the team for the first game.

This could be it if we sign Fonte

That would be mine

Due to Cala's suspension, and Noone's injury.

Can't decide for strikers.

If we get Fonte vs Blackburn I think it'd be

Marshall
Brayford Hudson Fonte Fabio
Dikagoi Whitts
Dæhli Mutch Kim
Macheda

Lewis, John, Turner, Gunnar, Burgstaller, Le Fondre, Guerra

If we don't get Fonte and fail to get another CB put Turner in and Eikrem on the bech.

Although I think Ole wants us to play more attacking football he won't go rushing in against a strong Blackburn side. He'll want to avoid losing the first game more than winning it. So pack the midfield and have players than can keep possession (Kim, Dæhli, Macheda) to try and take the sting out of the game.

Cala is suspended and Noone is injured so not sure why they are being included.

As for Dæhli in a free role, yes the kid is good and he's going to be exceptional but he's too light weight to throw into that role in the Championship. Really it's too much responsibility at this time too. One day yes, one day at a far higher level also, but not yet.

Not sure about Whittingham,for me he doesn't do enough during the course of the game to justify selection
