Reply With QuoteI think you can pencil in Heaton, Lowton, Tarko, Mee, then it gets tricky. I'd expect Iceland and Brady to be playing wide but I wouldn't put money on it. Dyche seems to be in love with Hendrick so I'd expect him to start, the rest is guesswork imo.

Starting to piece together the first match preview with the season starting in 2 weeks and really struggling to come up with a starting eleven.
I know things might change in that time but based on what we know at the moment , is anyone else a bit lost like me?

Glad I'm not the only one struggling. I think Jack Cork might get a start in midfield

Heaton,
Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Ward,
Gudmundsson, Hendrick, Cork, Brady,
Vokes and Gray.
Good bench too:
Pope, Long, Taylor, Defour, Westwood, Barnes & Walters.
An embarrassment of riches!

I wouldn't mind that starting X1 BT. Not very often have we seen a team over the last 2-3 years without either or both Arfield and Boyd.

I suppose it depends what Sean wants to do. Plays his best team or give those on the fringes a chance before the more serious friendlies.
Tarks wasn't played on Tuesday due to a niggle and Anderson stepped in, the attack pairings were Walters and Vokes which got two goals, Barnes and Gray which did little and AYgei got a cameo of 7 mins.
I would like to see Aygei and Defour get a start, Anderson get another chance and Taylor some more time. Maybe he'll do two teams for 45 mins each. Is Bardsley still injured?

Sorry oldcolner, I thought it was meant for the opener against Chelsea.

It is for the Chelsea game. However there may be some clues over the last 3 friendly games. Especially the home games against Celta Viga and Hanover
