Ayling
Lenihan / vdB
Clarke
Engel
Hackney
Howson
McGree / new signing
Azaz

CB is difficult. I could see us selling Lenihan as vdB needs to start really.

That would be my starting team too, except McGree. I think he's off in the summer. Replace him with Forss or Gilbert.

I disliked 5 at the back under the previous managers, but it seems to work with MC's style of play. We look much more solid in defence, and dangerous on the attack, so hopefully we'll stick with it (y)

Also want us to play it long sometimes instead of playing out from the back all the time. Mix it up. We have pace to burn so should use it with Dieng hitting it into the channels much more next season.
 
I will eat my hat if we start with 5 at the back carrick only played the system this season when injuries and form forced his hand. Nonsense to suggest it quicksilver
I don’t think he will start with 5, he hardly does but if everyone’s fit I believe that’s our best 11 with our current squad.

But I think McGree will be sold and I wouldn't be surprised if Hackney was.
 
I don’t see him breaking ahead of the others in his role. He’s currently 4 choice centre half. I’d be surprised if both him and Lenihan are here next season.

EDIT. I think one of Fry and Lenihan will leave, not both.

I’d be quite happy with that - there will of course be comings and goings though so it could look quite a bit different by the end of the summer window

That looks very solid defensively, can’t see that team leaking many goals that’s for sure.

Although if they are replacements will be in anyway.

Suppose Ayling doesn't count (yet) so if fit you go Smith.

Otherwise, as the answer to the set exam question, my answer would be the same as yours.
 
Same as Teacider for me if we’re counting Ayling. Picks itself.

We won’t be playing 5 at the back that’s for sure.

Obviously switch Ayling for Smith if he doesn’t sign.

The only time we’ll go 5 at the back is the best 3/4 teams in the league, away from home, if carrick decides too

Similar to this season

Yeah maybe. I don’t think the ‘best teams’ will be as strong as this year though. Feel like we’re in with a shot of being one of the best sides ourselves next season

If the 3 that go down are as they are I'd hope that it would be Leeds/Southampton, Burnley and then us that would be strongest sides. There are a few others that could compete but nothing to fear.
