Window closed, early KO tomorrow so time to start thinking about our line up. Tete, Reem and Anderson injured and too soon for Kongolo so I will go for:-
Areola
Aina Adarabiova Ream Robinson
Steffjo
Anguissa Loftus Cheek
Lookman Mitro Bryan
Some difficult choices to make, I could easily have chosen different players in three positions.
Areola
Aina - Ream - Le Marchand - Robinson/Bryan
Lemina
Loftus-Cheek - Anguissa - Cairney - Lookman
Mitrovic
Areola
Aina - Hector - Tosin - Robinson
Anguissa - RLC
Kebano - Cairney - Lookman
Mitrovic
Let's hope we don't continue to repeat history by selecting defenders that have repeatedly failed us in the Premier League. I appreciate that Kongolo and Andersen aren't ready which is unfortunate but we need to find a way forward without Odoi and Ream anywhere near the starting 11. I'm hoping Robinson gets the nod over Bryan at left back.
We need to be strong on Sunday. I would not go too adventurous and we need to be solid in midfield with more than 2 players. I would consider going 3 at the back with wingbacks. Play 5-3-2 with Mitro and Lookman up top, midfield of Frank, RLC and Cairney or Lemina.
Areola
Aina, Tosin, MLM, Robinson
Anguissa, Cairney
Lookman, RLC, Bryan
Mitrovic
Subs: Rodak, Odoi, Hector, Lemina, BDR, Kebano, AK
Personally id go 442 tomorrow and at least make sure we didnt get beaten.
The biggest thing is a performance and win. Something to build on, get some momentum going into 'winnable' matches.
Areola
Odoi Hector Tosin Robinson
Anguissa Cairney RLC Lookman

Amen
Massive game for us tomorrow. We have to take something from it. Hard to know what our XI will but I'll go for
Areola
Aina - Hector - Tosin - Robinson
Frank - RLC
Kebano - Cairney - Lookman
Mitrovic
To be honest, even with the injuries Parker has, he has a 'headache', he has choices to make, a good problem to have since he's been at Fulham.
we are in some disarray,4 defeats on the bounce. 11 goals conceded in 4 games, an unproven centre back just signed and availabe, three players injured, not played together for two weeks and players of equal quality competing for sme positions.
Very difficult task for Parker to get a team performance under the circumstances.
After giving the matter more thought I would go for_;
Areola
? ? ? ?
?
Anguissa Loftus Creek
Lookman Mitro ?
Glad I am not in Parker's shoes, hard to get this one right.

It depends on Parker's mindset, whether his mind is on the 4 matches that have gone or the 34 matches ahead, hopefully the latter.
Season starts tomorrow, we've got some defenders in, even with injuries we have players who can compete, so most of the players
will be fresh, Mitro might be rested. It's an ideal situation to get a team performance.
What I want the team to be
Areola
Aina Hector Adarabioyo Robinson
Anguissa Cairney
Lookman Loftus-Cheek Bryan
Mitro
What I think Parker will go with
Areola
Aina Ream Le Marchand Robinson
Anguissa Cairney
Cavaleiro Reid Lookman
Mitro
Loftus Cheek sub as he only trained for 10 days bla bla bla
Mitro Lookman
Bryan RLC Lemina Anguissa Aina
Robinson Hector Adara
Areola
If Cav plays we lose. Simple, time has gone when we play with ten men.He needs shipping out.
Play Ream and Tosin with Robinson and Aina at the back to keep the same shape as last game.,Anguissa Stef Jo Cairney Loftus-Cheek
Lookman and Mitro would be well balanced.Make it very hard for them to play through us.Remember they play those long diags from the back.
Areola
Aina Hector Tosin Bryan
Anguissa
Cairney Loftus-Cheek
Lookman Kebano
Mitro
That would be my preferred 11. Avoiding playing Ream and Cav in the starting 11 would be a safe move tbh.

If he only trained for 10 days AND his work rate is what it was against Brighton (in Sept) RLC is nothing more than a sub in our midfield (at the moment).
Like that lineup.

Loftus Cheek walks in to our team. 3 of the 4 games we haven't scored changes are needed
RLC for Cairney

Hope you're right. (https://metro.co.uk/2020/09/15/frank-lampard-ruben-loftus-cheek-chelsea-brighton-13272193/)
Of course, if healthy and his head is right he's a starter. Those two things are still in question until I see it on the pitch.
Hopefully we play him in the midfield.
Trust Scott to field the appropriate 11.

Only went with the same back 4 as wolves game because they didnt do much wrong and we can't make changes just for the sake of it as i think that kongolo and anderson will be a centre halfs when fit

I agree with this except I'd maybe swap robinson for bryan. Love joe and I know he's got us promoted but robinson currently looks the more effective player, also Joe has had his chance in the top flight with us and we all know how that went.
Still feeling bad for poor rodders loosing out on his no. 1 spot don't really know what he did wrong. Also how on earth have we kept cav and sent knocky out on loan I'll never know... I know knock couldn't currently hit a barn door but at least he made stuff happens and tracked back to defend. Cav looks like he's lost his mum in the supermarket half the time.. anyway that's my rant over UTF
I think its a great game to get Tosin in at centre back just depends who you put next to him as mlm, ream, hector and odoi all don't inspire confidence. Maybe MLM on current form compared to the other 3.
For what its worth I'd go
