I think this is our strongest XI. If not now then by the end of the season. I'm admittedly higher on Nunes than most seem to be.

Ederson
Akanji Stones Dias Gvardiol
Rodri Nunes
Foden
Bernardo Haaland Grealish


West Ham has definitely got off to a great start but I certainly haven't been wowed by them. Their center-back and midfield are so slow outside of Paqueta. I'm kind of surprised the odds aren't shorter as I would have thought just based on my eye test that this is a relatively simple game.

If Kovacic is fit, he starts every game for me- nobody better in the world right now at doing what he does

Any team without Alvarez isn’t our strongest 11

Do we think Alvarez will still be starting as many games as he has done so far compared to last season - with the introduction of Nunes and Doku in the team?

He will get less games by the simple fact we have more players to use but I don't see his game time being the most impacted by those 2 playing. Nunes will play deeper. I suspect we will primarily be using 2 from rodri, Kovacic, nunes and possibly Bernardo. Doku will be on either wing with foden, grealish and bernardo as competition. Still think Alvarez could play from the wing but he tends to operate more as the 10 which is generally kdb, him or foden. They'll be times where pep rips this up and knowing him, we will be playing an entirely different way come christmas but that seems to be the formation we've started the season using and the pools of players we have for each role.

I'm going for... (is the stupid international break over yet ffs)...

............Ederson............
.....Stones Dias Gvardiol....
.........Kovacic Rodri.........
Silva Foden Alvarez Grealish
............Haaland............

- Bring on Doku for Silva or Grealish at 60 mins
- Bring on Nunes for Rodri or Kovacic at 75 mins
- Bring on Bobb for Haaland at 85 mins

How does this work out of possession, though? Does Grealish play LB? Or Rodri drop into CB?
 
Ederson
Walker-Dias,Stones-Gvardiol
Foden, Nunes,Rodri,Bernardo
Haaland, Alvarez

I think this is our best 11, With stones moving into midfield and foden and Bernardo into attack in possession to form the 3-2-5 in attack
