[Albion] Who is a certain pick when fit?

It’s tempting to say nobody is certain of a place in the starting 11 with Potter’s funky formations and selections, but I’m not sure that’s true.

I think whatever system or opponent we play there are 4 who will always play if available

Ryan, Dunk, Webster, Stephens.

Then I’d say Montoya and Burn are 99% likely to be selected if fit. So let call it 6 places taken

That leaves 5 starting positions in a variety of possible formations between 10 players, all of whom can make a strong case to be selected.

Duffy, Propper, Alzate, Mooy, March, Gross, Bernardo, Connolly, Trossard and Maupay

It’s tempting to move Propper, Trossard and Gross to the “nailed on” list but I’m I wouldn’t bet my house that they’ll start at Villa, whereas I probably would that Dunk, Maty etc will.

The impression I get is that Bong, Murray, Ali J and Bissouma are further down the list. We don’t know how GP sees Izquierdo yet

Is that how you see it?

Ryan, Dunk, Stephens, Gross. Pre-printed on the teamsheet.

Mooy, Burn, Webster, Montoya, Maupay. Pencilled in at present.

Propper, Duffy, Alzate, March, Trossard, Button, Connolly, Murray. In the 18 when fit.

Bissouma, Bernardo, AliJ, Balogun, Bong, Izquierdo. Yet to prove themselves under Potter.

Am I right in saying that Bissouma has come off the bench in both games he's been fit for? If so I'm guessing Potter sees something in him.

True, but I'd be surprised if he started a match any time soon and may fall out of the 18 with the return of Propper, March, Trossard etc. The impression I get is that he's behind a few in the pecking order. Could be wrong

Not disagreeing with you, but what's your thinking about Mooy being in front of Propper and Trossard only in the 18?

Trossard when fit is pretty nailed on in my opinion.

And I believe Mooy has moved ahead of Gross in a pecking order.... one of these will make way when Trossard is fit...
