.Rubin Colwill?
OK, well, here's the wildcard pick. Where does Rubin Colwill play this season?
City have packed out their midfield options in the transfer window, signing Ebou Adams, Romaine Sawyers and Andy Rinomhota, while Joe Ralls, Ryan Wintle and Eli King are still with the club. A very welcome headache for Steve Morison to have heading into the season.
Where does Rubin Colwill figure, then? Well, he doesn't appear naturally quick enough to play on the wing, although that might be an option for him, while playing at the tip of a midfield three relinquishes some defensive stability.
If Cardiff operate in a system of two strikers, deploying Colwill as the deeper-lying one might become a very real option this season. A playmaker with the ability to create and score, with the right strike partner it might just be the perfect spot for him in this new-look City side.
Again, one to keep an eye on in pre-season and at the start of the campaign...

I could see him developing as either a second striker, or false 9 personally.
