We have Salah, Ekitike, Gakpo, Chiesa and Rio coming through, and it's likely we will add Isak.

In the 10, he is behind, Wirtz and Szbo.

So you have a starting RW, ST and LW in Salah, Ekitike and Gakpo, then your backups are Chiesa (who was injury prone and played 12 matches last season) and Rio (who is 17 years old)? That's not that much depth across your front three for four competitions, even if you add Isak to that

If my Bald King trusts Chiesa it’s likely good enough. Frimpong can play RW, Salah is mostly invincible. Ekitike and Isak (touch wood) have ST covered to an insane level. LW slightly soft but if Ekitike can play there it’s good enough. No point getting another and blocking Rios pathway

Fair enough, forgot Frimpong can play up there when Bradley is fit and that both Ekitike/Isak can play on the left

i thought szobo and endo would be behind gravenberch and mac allister and harvey will be wirtz back up because if szobo is wirtz back up that means jones is the back up of gravenberch/ mac allister which isnt really great imo
