Subject: Most Vulnerable Players: Ranking who from our 1st team is most likely to lose their place

1. Diop. No matter what he does and how unfair I might be, it's inevitable that Andersen takes his place. We need his passing, everyone loves his leadership. And he cost £30m! Feel for Diop here.
2. Adama. Players who can play right forward: Adama, Iwobi, Wilson, ESR, Nelson. So much competition he has no room for error. Plus you get the sense he's the one to be dropped if we go with a Berge & Lukic midfield base. That late-game impact sub option is just too tempting!
3. Lukic. If we stick with the attacking Andreas and ESR midfield, which I reckon we will at least 50% of the time, then he's getting dropped for Berge eventually. As with Diop and Adama above its unfair, but it could very well happen.
4. Tete. As with Adama, there's no room for error! Also there might be tactical reasons to play Castagne over him in some games. I'm not sure what they are, but Castagne is calm and steady to Kenny's wild athleticism.
5. Bassey. Now we're getting to the less likely ones. I think there is a chance that Andersen and Diop could partner each other and Marco might do that if Diop is on form while Bassey isn't. And Cuenca looks good. But still, I think he's largely safe.
6. Smith-Rowe. Like Bassey he's safe. But I can imagine a situation where he's rested because of lack of games and the team plays so well with a Berge, Lukic & Andreas midfield he can't get back in and ends up fighting for one of the two wide forward roles with Iwobi, Adams, Wilson and Nelson. Unlikely, but more likely than Andreas getting dropped I reckon.
7. Andreas. Rock solid secure no matter what some fans would like. No one is willing to try the high-risk/reward passes he does around the box, a league leader in set pieces, a press leader if we revert to the old ways. He's going nowhere.
8. Muniz. He's going to be given as much time as he needs through January. We've bet on him. He's doing well, except scoring. And if Marco wants to sign a replacement he'll want to show he gave him every chance.
9. Iwobi. Probably our best right forward option & left forward option. Can also play through the middle. And potential club captain in the making. No way he gets dropped.
10. Robinson. Save as houses. Barring injury he's never losing his spot even though there are plenty of options in Sees, Castagne and Cuenca.
