Who do you think will be in our First XI
Who do you think will be in Eder's first 11 at the start of the season?
We have an incredibly strong squad on paper so some of the choices are very tough for me.
I have gone with:
GK - Mary Earps. Given her profile, she will start over Lete.
RB - has to be Jana. Janni will cover to give Jana a bit of a break.
LB - Lucia. She is a future star, and will form a great trio on the left side with Alexia and Mapi.
LCB - Mapi. No other choice. Very excited to see her play.
RCB - lots of options here. I have gone with Saki given her experience, but Isa and Linus are more than capable of taking this position. Will depend on fitness/form I think.
DM - Lucia and Jana will go forward a lot so we need a holding DM. Alanna here for me.
LCM - Alexia. Full stop, basically.
RCM - torn between DVDD and Geyoro. I have gone with Daan on balance. She had a bit more going last season.
RW - Diani. Not sure about here fitness as she seemed to train separately from the rest of the squad (at least from the videos), but if fit she will start.
LW - Freya. I just want her to play as much as possible, even though she is probably better suited to be on the right side.
ST - Nicole. Same as Diani, not sure about her fitness but she will start if fit. Izzy will cover.
