Like Strujik but he's on the bench for me. I would also start Ramananzi and Gnonto for pace and Nmenka up front for the same reason. Piroe in on the second half. He does well again more tired defenses. Hope Bogle is fit by then. Pace will be a problem for them.

Wish we were facing the Dysche Everton teams of old.
Well, there are some positions where there is no choice. Gudmonsson has to start at left-back. There is no choice at the moment. In the centre, Longstick has to start as he is the most experienced. Similarly, for the same reason, if fully fit, Dan James has to start. Exactly what position I am not sure. I expect Bijol (not that impressed with him) to partner Rodon in the middle of defence. I prefer Struijk but I think Farke is leaning towards Bijol. Bogle if fit will play right-back. If not fit, Byram is excellent. I am guessing Ampadu and Stach in midfield of the 4-3-3, together with Longrod. In attack I expect Gnonto and Piroe to be up there with James. I don't think Aaronson will start. Over here, i can tell you his family are very happy he is back with Leeds, as Brenden (and family) badly want to play for the US in the World Cup next year. He thinks playing for Leeds United is the way to go.
No idea who is in goal because Perri has not played any pre-season games. So possibly Darlow.
