Team for Huddersfield

[lake district canary 4,830]

Could be anything, but I'll go for this, with good options on the bench. 

 

                        Krul

Aarons Zimmermann Godfrey  Quintilla

                   Skipp Mclean

        Sorenson   Dowell   Hernandez

                          Pukki

[KeiranShikari 1,524]

Surley Sorensen won't be a part of the front 4 when we have Placheta, Stieperman, Cantwell, Martin, Sinani and even Idah available for the position.

He's a defensive midfielder who also played central defence and we've never really seen him play so of course he's now on the right wing.

[Canary dwarf 221]

Apart from krul, aarons, zimmerman, godfrey, mclean, it's really hard to say.

[king canary 8,757]

My best guess would be...

Krul

Aarons, Zimbo, Godfrey, Quintilla

Skipp, McLean

Hernandez, Dowell, Cantwell

Pukki

 

[TheGunnShow 7,377]

Assuming we don't get any injuries before the game then I'd guess:

GK: Tim KRUL
RB: Max AARONS
CB: Christoph ZIMMERMANN (C)
CB: Ben GODFREY
LB: Sam MCCALLUM
CDM: Oliver SKIPP
CDM: Kenny MCLEAN
CAM: Marco STIEPERMANN
LAM: Todd CANTWELL
RAM: Kieran DOWELL
CF: Teemu PUKKI

Bench: McGovern (GK), Tettey, Sorensen, Hernandez, Placheta, Rupp, Hugill

[lake district canary 4,830]

Yeah, I got mixed up about Sorenson. So this - 

                          Krul

Aarons Zimmermann Godfrey  Quintilla

                   Skipp Mclean

       Dowell    Stiepermann  Hernandez

                          Pukki

[All the Germans 1,239]

                             Krul

Aarons, Zimmerman, Godfrey, Quintilla

                     Skipp, McLean,

Cantwell,           Dowell,               Hernandez

                            Pukki

Subs: Barden, Gibson, Rupp, Stiepermann, Vrancic, Placheta, Idah,

A little too light on defensive subs I know, but on the basis that both Rupp and Stiepermann could fill in at full back if needed. I also expect McGovern and Hugill to be on the bench but I don't think they are worth a place. Harsh on Tettey and Klose but couldn't fit them in.

[Feedthewolf 5,885]

Krul
Aarons Zimbo Godfrey Quintilla
Skipp McLean
Dowell Cantwell Hernandez
Pukki

Subs: McGovern, Gibson, Tettey, Rupp, Stiepermann, Placheta, Hugill

The Hugill vendetta continues! 😉

[Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,616]

Krul; Aarons, Godfrey, Zimmermann, Quintilla; Skipp, McLean; Cantwell, Dowell, Placheta; Pukki.

Controversial selection of Placheta instead of Hernandez, but it's just a gut feeling I have.

No doubt Farke will find a way to shoehorn Rupp in somewhere, probably on the wing.

[GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,035]

What I think we should do and what I think Farke will do might not be quite the same....I think Farke will go...

                        Krul

Aarons  Zimmerman Godfrey Quntilla

              Skipp    McLean

Cantwell        Dowell       Hernandez

                        Pukki

McGovern Gibson Tettey Rupp Steipermann Hugill Idah

Would probably go for pretty much the same starting XI but maybe have Placheta in place of Hernandez, as Onel is only just back from injury and often turns out better as an impact sub. I know McGovern is no great keeper and will almost certainly be hanging up his boots next summer, it‘s just I still feel he’s a better option on the bench than Barden as he has miles more experience, Barden has just 1 game. Not sure about who I’d put as the outfield subs though

[Haus 267]

I wouldnt be surprised to see.................

                       Krul

Aarons, Zimmerman,Godfrey,Quintilla

                  Skipp, Tettey

           Rupp, Dowell, Cantwell

Not sure we will see Vrancic and I think itll be a while before Placheta starts

I think you or I have got as much chance of starting as Vrancic...

As DF thinks the sun shines from McLean’s rear you can bet your house on him being in the starting XI assuming no injury issues.

[canarycop 232]

Cant see Vrancic anywhere in the squad to be fair. Keep changing my mind but see this

Krul 

Aarons Godfrey Zimmerman Macullum

Skipp McLean

Cantwell Dowell Hernandez

Pukki

Subs

Mcgovern Tettey Placheta Gibson Idah Hugill Quintilla or Sorensen 

[Hank shoots Skyler 2,094]

I had been scrolling through this wondering at each selection who was closest with their right wing suggestion.

I've seen Hernandez, Cantwell and Dowell - none of whom I think are particularly natural playing on this side (although I am less familiar with Dowell).

And then I saw this comment and I knew. 100% we will see Rupp start on the right wing - I can just picture the match thread already.

I think we will see:

Krul, Aarons, Zimmermann, Godfrey, Quintilla, Skipp, McLean, Rupp, Dowell, Cantwell, Pukki

Subs - McGovern, Hernandez, Tettey, Hugill, McCallum, Steipermann, Gibson

So many good players will be left out every week - I'm missing Vrancic, Placheta, Idah, Martin, Sorenson, Mumba (+ Klose / Hanley / Byram / Buendia)

Hernandez to come on around 70 mins and assist or score our winning goal 😄

Excellent, I was beginning to think I was the only person wanting Vrancic to start  😀

I wouldn't be devastated to see Rupp start there, I think he has something to offer. Martin probably in with a shout?

He is our most creative and tricky midfielder. Sure, he has flaws- Not the fastest or strongest but when it comes to setpieces he's easily one of if not our best.

 

Shame Farke seems to hate him however

Martin is out injured according to the Farke presser.

He definitely is.

I'm not sure Farke hates him but I do think he fell into the same mindset as most Premiership managers which seems to be that the two key criteria to play midfield in the EPL are to be built like a brick sh*thouse and to be able run up and down the pitch non-stop for 90 mins.

[dylanisabaddog 6,143]

What all these selections show is that only Tim Krul can be certain of his place. That must be a good thing and it looks like we have the strongest championship squad we've ever had. Says he with another 3 weeks of the window remaining......

Yeah mega strong squad as it stands, there will be a lot of championship players who would not be able to get on our subs bench.

I think Pukki is pretty set to start too.
