True, forgot that.

In that case you may see  a flat 3 in midfield, or Valeri operating behind Sanchez and Nigro. Something like this perhaps:

Thomas
Geria - Williams - Donachie - Broxham
Valeri - Sanchez - Nigro
George- Berisha - Austin

Hopefully though, Theoharous gets a start on the wing and replaces Ingham.

whats your first pick 11?

City :

                                 Galekovic
Muscat       Schenkeveld      Jakobsen   Jamieson
                     Brattan              Kilkenny
                                 Budzinski
Fitzgerald           Mauk/Bruno Inj Rep      Kamau

SUBS Bouzanis Carrusca La Rocca Arzani Crowley

Cahill away on Socceroos duty. Fernando Brandan a sneaky chance to make the bench maybe.

we've got a marquee injury replacement #9 and a RB coming in.

but i would go with:
                            Galekovic
Pierias       Schenkeveld      Jakobsen    Jamieson
                     Brattan             Mauk
                                Budzinski
Fitzgerald                Cahill                Brandan/Kamau

Joyce saying they may not bring an injury replacement in and play Cahill and kids instead:

@ bundarah brah

I think it's the right call, especially with Cahill on hand. Fornarolli is not an easy guy to replace but going with what you know might be the easier place to start.

like him or hate him - most people want to see cahill play as much as possible this year.  most likely the last season of one of the greatest footballers australia will ever produce.

Kenny won't change. 

              Keogh Taggart
Castro  Andreu Xavi     Harold
Mills  Grant  Lowry       Neville. 

Hopefully Kenny will put faith in Brimmer and actually play him as the AM next to Xavi in the first game. Castro - Nichols - Xavi- Harold will be his preferred midfield. I would like to see hotrod's formation though. Really hope Brimmer does well, would love to see a young number 10 doing well for us. Also hope Wilson does well enough to keep Andreu on the bench. Don't know who i'd go with between Keogh and Taggart in a 433.

Correct. The main point of difference in my proposed lineup is maybe Hoffman to bench, Georgie to RB, and Vujica to LB. 

And maybe if Vargas isn't up to starting, having Petratos at #10 (or maybe Brown) and putting a younger guy (Champness or Shabow) out wide if Petratos is moved in.

I've got no idea what our starting lineup will be like, half of what I expect our first team to be are recovering from injuries and are only getting twenty minutes here and there in the preseason.

Thomas
Geria - Williams - Donachie - x
Valeri - Milligan
Barbarouses - Troisi - George
Berisha


Left back signing still to come, however likely to be filled by Broxham or Nigro if we haven't signed anyone by R1. 
This would mean new signing Sanchez would be on the bench.

That would be mine also.
I wouldn't mind Nigro at lb full time though, he is more than capable.

Am sure they'll all be getting a shot at some stage.
May still be hard to gauge exactly how well they're all performing just yet.
Following our demise to Heidelberg, we've fronted the might of Cockburn, Inglewood, Perth and the State team.
Unlike most other teams, it seems like our first A League opposition will only be encountered in Round 1.
The stand out pre-season player from most reports (although always pretty glossy coming from Glory) has been Nicholls, and one assumes he's got to slot straight into the middle as well in Week 4?

Well there you go, we've sneaked off and played Sideney yesterday, 3 to 2 to Sydney.

IMO.

Adelaide - strengthened heaps
Brisbane - level
Ccm - strengthened heaps
City - level - but loss of fornaroli means they are worse
Victory - level
Sydney - level
Jets - strengthened heaps
Wsw - strengthened heaps
Wellington - level
Perth - strengthened

Think this could be one of the closest tables yet.

The top 2/3 have stayed similar but are competing in acl. With the exception of maybe Wellington (barbarouses and bonavacia were 2 of their best) have all drastically improved and should lift the bottom. Actually think jets and ccm have quite good squads on paper and both to push for finals hopefully.

Still don't think Wellington line up looks bad, excited for the season ahead.

City to miss finals. Victory to struggle unless they can keep a full squad healthy.

Brisbane are significantly weaker. Lost their best player and lost their only goal scorer. They'll probably still do ok but I really hope they suck. Would love nothing more than for them to get the wooden. Didn't even offer Broich a contract...disgrace.

agree,  it's a good looking team, but that back line looks second string at best.

If Williams can find something close to his best, a big IF, and they sign a good LB then their defence will be okay. If Williams sucks and the LB situation is not solved then it will be a real weakness. Having Valeri and Milligan ahead of the defence is a big positive for the team and should help the defence out. However if Milligan is forced to play CB then that is partially lost as well. A couple of injuries to defenders is going to cause lots of trouble as well given the lack of backup besides Deng.

More of a CM tbh.

Hasn't got the pace anymore to justify a wing spot.

If I'm being honest, he may get some serious competition from Abbas and spend some time on the bench

If Millsy goes back, Sanchez slips straight in.. We've got a very solid midfield this season. Ange might just be whispering in Kevs ear to play Millsy back during games leading up into WCQs..

So with Squads out does anyone think their lineups have changed?
I still think Adelaide lines up as

Izzo
Marrone - Elsey - Regan - Garrucio
Isaias - Adlung
Matmour
Mileusevic - Blackwood - Absolonsan
Subs - Margush - Gulum (If fit) /Warland (If Gulum Not) - Kitto - Konstadopolous - Baba

McKay, Caletti,
Skapetis, Holman, FBK;

Also hearing that Wellington is set to give Keegan Smith a start as keeper vs Adelaide. Not sure if that is true.

No Andreu??

A bit of a waste of money.

I would have thought him for Brimmer.

Have Brimmer, Wilson, Chianese and say Knowles on the bench.  When Nichols is back I expect one of the central MF to drop to the bench, which then becomes a waste of money, unless Lowe is playing one up front and slotting Nichols in behind Keogh when he is available.

I hope Nichols and Andreu stay out of the line up and Wilson and Brimmer have break out seasons. 

I expect Andreu and Xavi to be the midfielders and start this weekend though. But am sick of seeing a back line of 6 with 4 up front. 

Andreu wouldn't be on much though.

Well, maybe not a waste of money, but a waste of a visa player to have him on the bench.  Visa players need to be starters, otherwise it's a bit of a waste paying extra for a benchwarmer.
