Europa League Squad for knockout stage

[felmani26]

I think we can only make 3 changes though.

So, I agree with the 3 definites.

And, Kinsky just misses out due to the numbers - similar to Spence missing out back in August.

Ah didn't realise it was capped at 3.

Yea, with you fully then with Kinsky a rotational domestic option and with the squad makeup you simply have to prioritise Tel, Danso and Spence's inclusions.

 

[TOLBINY]

Spence, Danso, Tel should be added

Kinsky will prob not be great about it but he can be the PL keeper and Vicario the cup keeper

Think that would work nicely

I would be surprised if Vic is not No.1 for Prem and Europa for the remainder of the season when back fit. Next season might be different.

 

[Trix]

Injury length will play a huge role in this. Might be players left out no one expects.

Think having kinsky as league keeper will keep both on their toes. I'd be slightly annoyed if Vic just walked back in. We need to create a situation where noone is guaranteed a start

 

[Westmorlandspur]

We seem to have forgotten what a nightmare Vic had become at corners. Kinsky has the shirt and might well keep it.

 

[Marty]

I hope I'm wrong but my gut instinct reading this was Romero.

I also think Odobert might miss out instead of Werner in the lists those above have posted.

 

[easley91]

I'd expect the three changes to be Kinsky, Spence and Danso (if signed) in.

Changing this to Spence, Danso and Tel. As others have mentioned Vicario and Austin should be enough for Europa (so glad we got top 8 to allow more recovery time for Vicario). Kinsky can have the league.

I'd say Dragusin comes out if he is out for the rest of the season.

 

[Marty]

I'd say Dragusin comes out if he is out for the rest of the season.

But that wouldn't surprise me, the way his knee twisted looked quite nasty.

So the phrasing that "no one expects" led me to Romero.

We registered 15 Non-HG players, 6 HG-Association Trained players, and 2 HG-Club Trained players.



We can make 3 changes to the squad before our Knockout round.

So far we have added:

Kinsky - Non-HG Goal keeper - could take the spot of Forster
Danso - (maybe HG - but does not really matter) - could take the spot of Dragusin (assuming long-term injury)

Other options:
Spence - could take the spot of Werner or Odobert
Reguilson - long-shot, but could take the place of Werner or Odobert (instead of Spence) - but seems highly unlikely

If we sign an attacking player - we would have a tough choice to make - between Spence, Kinsky and new attacking player.

Super helpful thank you.

Indeed. I don't think it's any coincidence that we've looked a lot better defending corners since hes been out of the side. Even under Forster we looked better in that regard

 

[SonicSarr]

I'm preferring Kinsky in all comps, and I like Vic too.

 

[CornerPinDreamer]

If Spence doesn't make it in that will be him off in summer

 

[eddiebailey]

Spence, Danso and Terence in, outs based on expected returns.

 

[Westmorlandspur]

Squad has to be named by Thursday …Feb 6th.

 

[cockerel downunder]

I have a feeling keepers can be added later as an emergency replacement? So make sense to add Spence, Danso & tel and then if vic has a set back with injury we can maybe add kinsky later on?

Not sure on the rules but it seems unlikely with four keepers already registered.

 

[DannyNZ]

Seems pretty straight forward given the state of the squad. Danso, Tel and Spence to come in. Tough on Kinsky but we need the bodies in the outfield and Vic and Austin are more than good enough keeping options.

 

[bubble07]

Just imagine the uproar if Spence doesn't make the second cut

 

[Yid121]

Dragusin, Forster, Werner out. Tel, Spence and Danso in?

I think Kinsky has to miss out due to Vicario being back.
