WCQ: Third Round - Window 4 (January 27- February 2, 2022)

[David Pinto]

You probably won't see both David and larin start all 3 games together... makes sense to do either with Ugbo on the away days and together vs the America's. Each coming in as a sub if needed for the games they don't start.

No Corbeanu is quite shocking. Him, Hoilett and Buchanan are the only guys in our current pool that will take shots outside of the 18. 

I'm really nervous that we are going with a thin squad, and we'll be expecting big things from guys who haven't scored or aren't in form.

Facking hell, I forgot about that too.
I'm on a roll.

So wait, are we assuming guys are already in camp? Or is this just the worst preparation window?

Beyond them not sure.

All the MLS guys would have arrived there over the weekend.  Most players who played Saturday would have arrived yesterday.  Anyone who played Sunday would arrive today.  The camp has started for sure, whether it’s on the field, who knows.  I could see them having an early evening run.

[JamboAl]

A few guys just played yesterday; they are probably in transit.

[spitfire]

I know someone that is currently in Miami...

[toontownman]

50/50 with Theo. He is hitting the ground running at MK Dons and probably would benefit from staying put. Flipside...we need him. 

I am happy either way. We will see what the imminent news brings.

Isn't it kind of risky to go to a packed NBA game, let alone one in Florida? Would be pretty shitty to start missing more players due to covid

Edit: I guess Borjan just had covid actually so he's probs okay since it's recent but still risky for Atiba

Thought the same thing. Think going into bubble mode would make some sense?

Sorry how do you start Ugbo over Cyle Larin. He has broken almost every record for scoring in the last year is what 1 goal away from Deros all time record. I get Ugbo has potential and should be a big impact sub but Larin aand David have to start… or am I missing something?

This is why this forum scares me on depth. There’s a misconception that the guys we know are secret weapon world beaters. 
 

i understand the need to push back on negative people (read: me) but this stuff borders on toxic positivity.

Oops forgot to include him in my list of top five fastest CMNT players. He’s still in the mix, right? RIGHT?

Hit the brakes.

I suggested a potential XI for a 3 match window. In fact, I've been underwhelmed watching Ugbo for Genk - he's just an option to pair with our biggest weapon for this window in the hopes of unlocking him.

I might be in the minority here, but I’d start an in form Scott Kennedy, over Kamal Millar who hasn’t played in over 2 months. 

[QBCS]

Does anyone know what time the roster drop?

Don't get your back up, I read your post man, and if you read mine, you would see that I said the whole forum and not you specifically.

There's an idea that guys who haven't played are now expected to slide in. I understand that it's three long games and we're gonna have to try new things. I guess the difference is I don't see it as a benefit, just an unfortunate necessity.

One Soccer show at 7pm speaking about being before the roster reveal.  Looks like it’s coming tomorrow to me.  I think the dates wrong, it’s for today’s show.

Hearing Ugbo and Kennedy are also confirmed.
