...if it helps, I don't think Bolasie and Funes-Mori will start.

Sandro Rooney Sigurdsson
Klassen Gueye
schielderlin
Baines Keane Williams Martina
Pickford

Assuming Barkley has been swapped for Sigurdsson by then.

Almost certain that will be the team against Stoke.

As long as Besic is no where near the starting line up it'll be a strong team.

Never heard of him.

New signing?

That being said, I could have the formation wrong and I'm sure Koeman will want to find a role for Rooney in there

Wouldn't Swansea and Arsenal be a tad upset about using their players though.......

Single file, the walk out and hand shake would be a right mess otherwise.

We had better get a new striker or I am going to be a tad miffed!

Pickford
Holgate Keane Williams
Lennon Schneiderlin Gana Baines

Rooney
Sandro / Striker

From: Gueye, Klaassen, Mori, Bolasie, Walcott, Mirallas, Martina, Kenny, Davies, DCL, Lookman, Steklenburg, Barry, Garbutt(someone has to give Baines a chop out at left back / left wing back no way he can play twice a week), Jagielka, Besic.

Inj: Mori, Coleman, Bolasie

Incredible squad we've assembled. Add a 15G a year striker and someone pacey out wide and we've literally got one of the best squads in the premiership. What a time to be a blue.

e: Got Lennon starting as I think he suits a 3-5-2 well. No doubt we won't be playing a 3-5-2 but it certainly means we will get the best out of Rooney, Gana, Snides. It means Holgate and Williams aren't exposed and means Sandro is played next to a target man. Based off that we still need another CB as well.

I agree on Lennon having the motor to cover the flank, he actually likes a tackle as well. I watched him quite a bit last season and I was impressed more with his endeavour than his pace which I thought he relied on too much at spurs. Don't think he'll start the season in the 11 though.
