I think this is a decent side for the near future. The wall at CB, Bakakis is a very good RB and would have been a regular had it not been for injury, Torosidis has played at LB for previous clubs, we have nobody better in that experience, his experience helps.
Midfield is probably our worst position in terms of quality, I know a lot of people have been raving about Samaris while at Benfica but for the NT he has not been as productive, same as the rest of the team however. Still tho I feel he should start and hopefully eventually carry his club form into national team.
Tachtsidis and Maniatis I have not seen play a lot recently, I know Maniatis is out injured but we need experience in there, I cant think of any other CM's that could start ahead of these 2 guys.
Platellas I feel is a very crucial player for the NT. Greece does not have many players available to them that have the ability to take on players, we are a very slow team, Platellas gives us that spark on the wings.
ACM is oozing quality, however only one of the 2 can play, 2 very very good players.
Left wing all I can think of is Gianniotas, however he will have to either break into the Olmpiakos team or find a new club where he will be a starting regular. So much potential. Im not to sure on the Pelkas kid, can he play on the wings or just through the middle?
Up front we can only play Mitroglou, he has been on good form at Benfica, and is hitting his prime, has to start. Alternatives are Aravidis and Klaus.
