Players who currently are almost guaranteed to start when fit

[Scandi Red]

We do rotate a fair bit, which is a good thing, but we are also starting to see a trend of players who are almost guaranteed to start when fit.

De Gea
Dalot
Varane
Martinez
Casemiro
Bruno
Antony
Rashford

You could make a case for Shaw too, although a hungry Malacia is surely breathing down his neck. Overall we are looking at a solid core of 8 or 9 players with some good bench options as well. It looks very promising!

Do you agree with Ten Hag's choices? Do you think any of these players will lose their spot before next season? Do you think another current player will cement his spot and thus be added to this list?

I would add Marcus Rashford to that list too

True.

Adding now.

Maguire instead of Varane. Varane is injured until 2023

And yet Lindelöf started yesterday

I forgot to add "when fit" to the title

 

[jasveron]

No Eriksen?

 

[D. Grayson]

Shaw surely

Do we have a better player or similar players in quality in their positions? We could agree we don't at the moment. Name by name you don't want to see another player going in if those are available. I wish we can have a new RB at the January transfer window to give some rest to Dalot, and I also wish for a fit Martial. I'm dreaming about the last one I know

I'm happy with the names on the list and the LB battle, and the way ETH is building the solid core you mention in your post. Let's go for the rest of the season guys!

So did Beek. The title changed, so Varane will be correct now anywyas

• Martinez
• Casemiro
• Rashford
• Martial

Id say this. Shaw and Malacia could rotate based on form. I could see Bruno/Eriksen/Fred rotating based on form and opponent, though they haven't yet. And Antony/Sancho could rotate. But I'd say Rashford is our most important winger, and Martial is our only striker.

Bruno? He has started every game apart from one(when we lost to Real Sociedad). Only De Gea has played more minutes this season.

Yeah i feel like it's still early in the season though. For now yes he's an automatic starter but I could see situations where one of him or Eriksen can get rotated out. I guess that list is more my opinion more than what is the reality where he plays every game.
