[Albion] Team for Sheffield United (if there's anyone still fit)

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Not played left back since my days in Lewes League Division 12 forty years ago, but I'm willing to give it a go

*EDIT* Wages might be a problem tho

 

[Machiavelli]

Play the strongest 11 we can. We aren’t going to see any benefit from resting Gross, Mitoma etc if they then go and play two games next week for their countries. If we’ve got genuine concerns about their fitness then pull them from international duty but we don’t want to be weakening our side on Sunday anymore than it has to be.

Couldn't agree more. No idea why so many are treating the Sheff Utd fixture so casually. They've been in most games, and have just got a first victory boost. They won't be easy.
Several are indicating that Gross and Mitoma will be rested. I'll wager a large sum with anyone that one will start, and a lesser sum about the pair starting. The key question is whether we go with a back 3 (as we started, but didn't finish, the game against Fulham) or back 4.

12/1 for the SHEF U win, worth a TENNER INSURANCE BET.

Assuming Milner, Lamptey, Dunk, Perv are still out:

Bart

Veltman
Van Hecke
Igor
Gross

Baleba
Dahoud
Gilmour

Ansu Fati
Joao Pedro
Adingra

Has anyone else had an email from the club this morning? . . .

If you have a ticket for the game, please bring your boots and report to a Senor De Zerbi at 12pm sharp.

I assume it was only sent to fans who are U21 as anyone older won't be in the 25 man squad

Why wouldn’t one of Dahoud or Gilmour start? They don’t need a rest. Fati came off after an hour so no reason why he couldn’t shafy also.

I am guessing the team that RDZ will pick, not what I would pick!

I don't think Dahoud, Gilmour or Fati have started 2 games in a row yet.

 

[Badger Boy]

Verbruggen
Veltman
Van Hecke
Webster
Gross
Gilmour
Baleba
Buonnanote
Fati
Mitoma
Ferguson

Gilmour will play. If he can play 2 Scotland games in 4 days, he can play 2 club games too in 3 days.

Fati hasn’t started a PL game for us yet.

 

[London Irish]

With the international break, rotation on to the golf course is possible. Take Sheffield lightly and we will pay for it

Wages a problem?
How much do they want you to pay?

Looka upa yourselfa!

 

[El Turi]

Sheffield United don’t seem to have much pace in their team. This team should be good enough to get the win:

Verbruggen

Veltman
Igor
JPVH
Groß

Baleba
Dahoud/Gilmour

Fati

Mitoma
Pedro
Adingra

 

[albionalex]

Steele

Veltman van Hecke Webster Igor

Baleba Dahoud

Buonanotte Fati Mitoma

Ferguson

 

[Munchkin]

———————- Steele —————————
Veltman —- Van Hecke — Webster —- Gross
———— Gilmour —- —- Baleba —————
———————— Pedro ————————-
Adringa ———— Ferguson ———— Mitoma

No problem.

 

[A mex eyecan]

I think the team will be selected using Fanzone. Please keep an eye out because if your face is shown then you’re playing

 

[schmunk]

The Blades have their own injury worries: Egan, Basham and potentially Ahmedhodzic all centre backs out, as well as Rhian Brewster and a couple of others.

 

[seagully]

Steele would definitely make a decent central midfielder

I actually tried playing him as a deep lying playmaker on last year's Football Manager and he was surprisingly good. I'll send RDZ a screenshot
