Current starter level players (realize positions are fluid, but I'm putting players where they most often played)
9: Richarlison
Wings: Sonny, Johnson, Kulu (backup Werner?)
10: Maddison
6/8: Bissouma, Sarr, Bentancur
LB: Udogie
CB: VDV/Cuti (backup Dragusin)
RB: Porro
GK: Vicario
Promising Youngsters that have been called into the first team: Moore, Donley, Scarlett (not entirely sure on their respective positions)
Looks to me that we probably need to prioritize upgrading at the 9 and at the 6/8. Having a CDM that can protect against the counter when both full backs are up and inverted could shore up the defense.
Need capable backups all over the place, but definitely at LB/RB, in the midfield, and at the 9.
We have 3-4 (depending on Werner) wingers who are perfectly capable of executing their role in Ange-ball. This might be a good position to give the youngsters some playing time in the early stages of the cups/Europa. Kulu is also a Swiss army knife who can play RW, 10, or apparently even a false 9 type (against the likes of Sheffield at least) when he's in good form.
And for the sake of my sanity, can we PLEASE do something about set pieces?!
Thoughts on priority positions to upgrade?
