Sound reasoning.Henderson
Wan-Bissaka Varane Maguire Shaw
Fred Mctominay
Greenwood Fernandes Pogba
Cavani
I picked Henderson as while De Gea is clearly a better shot-stopper the fact Henderson is quicker off his line is quite useful when your central defenders are more on the slow side. McFred is far from the ideal center midfield pairing, but while neither are proper DM's between them they just about give the back 4 enough cover so other teams do just walk through our midfield. Greenwood has outperformed Sancho so gets the nod on the right. Pogba has been most consistent for us on the left, his tendency to go missing from games isn't as much of an issue there. Plus having him up beside Fernandes means its harder for the opposition to completely stop our creativity by just man-marking Bruno. I picked Cavani over Ronaldo, as while Ronaldo probably just about has the edge on Cavani(though I don't think it is as bigger a gap as it was a few years back) in front of goal, Cavani all-round game especially when we are out of possession really reduces the stress on the midfield and the whole team.
Though I think we have to find a way to get games for the the squad and still win. Can't have Rashford Martial Sancho Ronnie being in a second choice less/ineffectual lineup.
For me Sancho might end up being more sound on the right after some games there. And ideally finding a way to not rock the boat and have Ronnie as 1st choice is necessary. With that said Sancho is historically more creative than Greenwood. I certainly agree with the Cavani better for the team than Ronnie though, except we've made the team politics bed now and must lie in it!!
Shame they're both ancient and wouldn't last together in a 2 up front partnership. I think it would be lethal. Then again that needs to be either a 442 or 352. Other than Sancho we ain't got wingers for the former and dont have sufficient quality wing backs for the latter!
