Squad

if we are to compete on all fronts as our chairman has alluded to, there's a need for two in each position, with as little drop off as possible.

At the moment this looks like:

GK Vicario, Kinsky
RB Porro, Spence
LB Udogie, Davies (I know, I know)
CBR Romero, Danso
CBL VdV, ? (one of Dragusin, Takai, or Vuskovic)
6 Bentancur, Gray
8 Bissouma, Sarr
8/10 Bergvall, Maddison
LW Son, Tel
10 MGW, Kulu
RW Johnson, Kudus
ST Solanke, Richarlison

I appreciate that is 12 roles, but its more about the options per system, and working out the setup.

Oh and that still leaves out Odobert, Solomon, Mikey Moore, and a few other kids.

My query is about how we make this into a squad with the HG and CT rules. Also, if we are signing someone else like Wissa we are then going to have to move people on - but who and to where.
 
I can see Bissouma going, Richie going, Son going, plus the likes of Gil, Solomon etc. we would then bring in more homegrown talent. If a player is under 21 they don’t count for the Champions league do they?

So does that mean Tel, Odobert, Bergval, Gray will take up those spaces and being first team players we can then register older players in those places?

Think the B list players have to have been at the club 2 years to qualify

Worryingly there are no club trained players in the main group - I've lost track of that, where do we sit with our young players and getting them to qualify as CT eventually?

Bergvall Gray Vuskovich the only ones on that pathway before you get to the academy grads as far as I can see

Also only 22 in the cl squad. So we have to cut 5 of those players mentioned to get a cl squad.
We'll have to keep some of our youngsters around just to have a full bench for cl games.
 
So whats the difference between Champions league and the Europa league in terms of registration. Is it the same? If so we won’t have a problem will we? Richie, Son, Bissoums out, MGW, Kudus and 1 other in?
 
Picking your best 22 for one competition whilst keeping all others fresh for another competition is a fantastic thing.
We can’t expect players to play twice a week every week, they just explode. Or play knackered and with niggles.

Everyone needs a rest. Rotation!!!

We have no club trained though. So it's 18 (19 with austin).
Moore, donley, dorrington and abbott can go on the b list (not sure about phillips or lankshear?).

Edit- ignore 25.

A list is 25 players with at least 8 association trained, of which 4 must be club trained.

So with 0 club trained we can have a max squad of 21 (assuming we have 4 association trained)

Sensible rotation, not the FM X1 we have put out in the past.

Sweet. Brentford and others saying it was 22. I thought they'd changed it.

I can't see anything about 22 online - maybe that was being referenced on here in relation to our lack of club trained players. Eg we effectively only have a 22 man squad because we can't name the full quota
 
Alli Gold has worked it all out for you here. He mentions 22 (21 with Austin). PL is fine, CL is the problem.

Key piece:
European non-locally trained players (24 currently, 17 maximum): Guglielmo Vicario, Antonin Kinsky, Pedro Porro, Kevin Danso, Radu Dragusin, Destiny Udogie, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma, Wilson Odobert, Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison, Son Heung-min, Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Bergvall, Mathys Tel, Manor Solomon, Bryan Gil, Yang-min Hyeok, Luka Vuskovic, Josh Keeley, Kota Takai, Mohammed Kudus.

[[MY EDIT - To get rid of 7 just tell these 6 they won't get into the CL squad: Solomon Gil Hyeok Vuskovic Keeley Takai and then we can bin Drags/Kulu as injured. Obviously Richie/Son might go too. It's easy this]].

Association trained players (8 currently, four can be used in exclusive slots): Dominic Solanke, Ben Davies, James Maddison, Brennan Johnson, Djed Spence, Archie Gray, Ashley Phillips, Morgan Gibbs-White.
[[MY EDIT - Bin Davies, Phillips, er... hmm isn't Gray young enough to ...er...well if not Gray can sit down too, hmm]]

Club trained players (1 currently, four required): Brandon Austin.


I still maintain it is a great problem to have. Imagine if we had a really great squad and then someone said "OK you can also have this really good player for PL games". As long as the player is OK with it. There will be loads of injuries during the season, so players can come in and out. We can change the CL squad at Christmas, right??
