Joka confirms Ream , Ayité , Mawson are all injured with Odoi suspended. I would be surprised if Aguissa is training with the team so with that in mind I would like to see a team of
Fabri
Christie Chambers Le Marchand Bryan
Seri McDonald Cairney
Schurrle R Sessegnon
Mitrovic
Subs - Rico , Fosu-Mensah , Johansen , Ciise , Kebano , Vietto, Kamara
Am looking forward to tomorrow's games it's going to be a tough game against a good side but I fancy us to hick the win 2-1 goals from Mitrovic & Sessegnon! COYW
i presuming that our non eu boys will be waiting on work permits and will be unlikely to feature tomorrow.
also that back 5 have never started for us in a competitive game, scary and exciting all at the same time
Agree with that starting XI
also kamara is bang in form. so if he doesnt start on the right, he will def be a sub. or should be at least
Amazingly not a single member of our back 5 in that lineup that started at Wembley back in May.
It wouldn't surprise me, if Ream is injured, that he plays fosu-mensah tomorrow at cb. Had a good preseason my all accounts.

Instead of who? Marchand is basically Ream with a beret.

He does look a beast.
I am pretty sure Palace don't know what to expect. We don't even know what to expect. Hopefully that can be a good thing. Injury crisis and the season hasn't even started!

Yes. Just have a feeling, from his comments last week,that he isn't hugely impressed with MLM. I could of course be completely over analysing that.

Ream is injured he won't be playing tomorrow
Crystal Palace scouts in bushes at MP are just as confused as Fulham fans.

Agree with this. He should be starting over Shurrle tomorrow on the right imo.

Agree with the OP's team choice, not sure if Joka might be tempted to play Fosu Mensah at RB over Christie, although with only one days training that would be unlikely. Also when KMac wasn't fit he played Seri in the holding role with StefJo in his usual position so it could be KMac benched for Stef as an alternative.
I really dont know what we'll go with tomorrow as when we got Mitro he went straight into the team so Slav might do the same with some of yesterdays signings especially Fosu who has prem experience.
In the future when everyone is fit I can see the team being:
Rico
Fosu Chambers Mawson Bryan
Anguissa
Cairney Seri
Schurlle Sessegnon
Mitro
Subs:
Betts/Fabri, Christie, Ream, Mcdonald, Johansen, Ak, Vietto
The back four will be strangers whoever plays and that's scary.
If the Boss thinks any of Thursdays signings has the personality and confidence to jump straight in he may pick one but I doubt it would be more.
So it has to be as the OP say's
Fabri
Christie Chambers Le Marchard Bryan
Macdonald
Cairney Siri
Schurlle Mitro R. Sess
Its the closest we can get to last seasons consistency with Schurlle giving more control than AK (despite my admiration for him) and Bryan in allows for Sess to play further forward.
Being too cautious will work against us.

Mitro's first two appearances for us last season were from the bench. You seem to be suggesting that he went straight into the starting XI from day one. Apologies if I've misinterpreted your post

Now that's a team!!! Fancy Alfie wil keep back line together. Let's bloody well hope so.
Watched the first Premier League match of the season tonight. Just can't see us matching the pace power and intensity of either of the teams on display for quite a few weeks.
Still ........ COYW......
Not sure I'd be very good in SJ's selection role for today's game. I've looked at the suggested line-ups above and whilst they seem okay I am not that sure it is what we will see. SJ is keen on players who work for each other and can be relied upon, has had little time to measure up the very new arrivals, and so has to roll the dice. Perhaps a surprise or two in the line-up this afternoon depending upon who is really fit to play.
I agree with the view that this is a massive punt ... a completely untested team (with the obvious exceptions).
Hudds, B&H etc. stuck with their winning sides.
An interesting afternoon ahead.

I will do my best Fernhurst but it's been a good few years since last played
So many options. I bet Roy is scratching his head and wondering who the heck his team will be playing against.
It's probably going to be
Fabri
Fosu-Mensah Chambers Le Marchand Bryan
Cairney McDonald Seri
Schürrle Mitrovic Sessegnon
Guaita
Wan Bissaka Tomkins Sakho van Aanholt
Townsend Milivojević Kouyaté McArthur
Zaha Benteke
Intriguing contest.

Good Luck Alfie :005:
Yes, I guess Mr FFC has got the team right, remember, Odoi, Mawson and Ream are not available and the five deadline day signings can't be ready yet.
If we beat Palace the team selection for the Spurs game, with more new players available, is going to be interesting.
