Revisiting this now they we are on the brink of our opener
9: Solanke, Richarlison (Lankshear for early cup/Europa?)
Wings: Son, Werner, Johnson, Odobert?, Mikey Moore? (Maybe still a year away?)
10: Maddison, Kulu?, Bergvall (is he ready?)
6/8: Sarr, Bentancur, Bissouma, Archie Gray
CB: VDV, Cuti, Dragusin
LB/RB: Udogie, Davies, Porro, Gray (played some significant time at RB last year in the Championship)
Definitely upgraded at the 9 and keeping Richarlison plus possibly calling up Lankshear gives us some depth
Signing Odobert maybe pushes Kulu centrally? If so, I think this upgrades depth at both RW and 10
If Mikey Moore is ready, he improves depth at LW. If not, then it's largely the same as last year
Increased depth at the 10 with Bergvall and maybe Kulu
CDM only added Archie Gray. Even though he's young, he's got a full year of experience in the Championship including a cup win over Chelsea and a win against Leicester. Is also comfortable covering at RB (since RB inverts so often, it's basically like playing midfield)
No real upgrades/additions to the back 5.
In summary: improved starting quality at the 9, improved attacking depth, didn't upgrade very much defensively.
I would love a top 3 finish and a run to the Europa League final. Is this enough to improve by 14-20 points to break 80/get into the top 3? And/or make a run in the Europa League?
