| Starting 11 against Union Berlin to start against Sunderland? 09:57 - Aug 14 with 1683 views | unstableblue | Given Enciso (and his team mate) may not start training till Tuesday with the team and with no new signings likely to secure a player more than 2 or 3 days training prior to Sunderland - think it’s likely who starts in Germany starts in our first Premier Lesgue game in a week. Team: ————- Scherpen OShea—Diop—Greaves—Davis ———Florentino—Lukic —-Fatawu——-Egeli—-Maeda ———————Emersonn I think if he’s going 4 at the back Lukic starts over Nunez Enciso despite arriving late may displace Egeli I think he’ll want OShea to start as captain but preferred to Furlong so Diop can bring his experience and box dominance. Greaves has been excellent through pre season. We really need another striker. Albeit we’re already spending £50m on two forwards who can start in the 9. [Post edited 14 Aug 10:54]

Enciso can't possibly start with the amount of training he'll have had. He's had a full pre-season with Strasbourg, so for sure he'll be fit enough, but he won't be up to speed enough on tactics. I see him coming on around the 60th minute to great fanfare. |  |

Emersonn will be starting against Sunderland. |  |

Yes the ten behind the striker will start the 9 is up for grabs, But axpom has far more experience so I can see why you put him there, |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

| Starting 11 against Union Berlin to start against Sunderland? on 11:09 - Aug 14 with 1190 views | Bluemike31 | The OP's team is exactly as I see it, Enciso won't have been here long enough and I can't see Akpom starting over Emersonn. |  | |  |

I’m pretty sure he’s going to play 4-2-3–1 in the Sunderland game… as it’s home, and they are ‘weaker’ opposition So there will be a 10 If not Egeli (who’s played the role through pre-season) then who else? Nunez? Enciso? Akpom? |  |

Because Town are yet to bring in a starting striker Emersonn is the current first choice as shown through starting there most of pre-season He has now scored |  |

not sure, i think it'd be a baptism of fire for a young guy to start his first game in english football against sunderland's back line. even if we don't bring anyone else in (hugely unlikely), i think he'd start with akpom. wouldn't read too much into pre-season, he's going to want to get maximum minutes into the guys who are new to england |  |

The game is a week away. We've spent 24m on him. He's been the first choice striker in our warm up games. He's up to speed on patterns of plan etc. He's scored. |  | |  |

we spent a record fee in the championship on egeli, he didn't start straight away. i think emersonn'll be similarly eased in, sunderland's back line could eat him alive! |  |

He will shoehorn enciso in there I would, I think he will be the 10 |  | |  |

It’s a completely different situation. Emersonn was signed at the beginning of the window and has had a full pre-season with the team. Egeli joined us in late August and needed more time to get up to speed. |  |

And we had more options for Egeli, we don't have many where Emersonn is concerned. |  | |  |

egeli was arguably more up to speed as he'd been playing competitive football for his danish club immediately before signing. big leap up from sheffield, blackburn and portsmouth to sunderland, cit-eh and liverpool too! i think km dealt with walle egeli in the right way and would probably have preferred to ease him in even more gently. can't see gon being that gung-ho |  |
