    let's be real for once and stop hating on samaris. also him and siopis are not the same kind of player. samaris is an '8' while siopis is a '6'. and our '8' options are samaris and tachtsidis, while our '6' options are zeca and kourmpelis. 

    my formation is based on a 3-man defence so 5 cbs is a fair amount, as well as the side backs. 

    gianniotas is not included in my squad, simply because there's no room for him. 

    3-4-1-2 is one of the best formations for this team because it allows us to utilize our weapons (depth at cb, both mitroglou and donis in the line-up) and also minimizes the lack of wingers we have. so in order not to play mantalos, stafylidis or zeca out of position we're starting 2 full backs, a position where we also have depth. 

    galanopoulos it's still too early to consider, while as much as i think charisis could be proved useful i'd like to see what he's able to do with paok in a higher level than sint truiden, his team in belgium

    Nothing personal against Samaris, good person infact. He just is average and has mainly been played as our 6, this is why I went for Siopis. Zeca has been played as an 8, a Winger and now is being touted as our 6, hopefully for Tzioli.

    Galanopoulos or Charisis or someone else as one more CM would be fine. Skibbe will never play 3 CB's. I don't mind the idea personally.

    Could consider Siopis instead of Samaris;

    One less CB (Retsos/Siovas even), so to have another CM like Galanopoulos or Charisis; We would find that Pelkas plays the Giannota back up right Wing role and not at Midfield anyway, with this coach.

    What formation as Skibbe or any previous coach would never consider 3 at the back so 4 2 3 1 is all there is. 4 3 3 is too ballsy and he isn't, with the team formation aspect. Possibly a 4 5 1.

    holebas is 33 and plays like he's 25. Wonder if him taking time off of football prolonged is shelf life or something...

    fetfa should be in the squad. imagine him and donis on the wings. we'd be dangerous.

    zeca and kourbelis dm

    right now i'm really feeling

     

                 mitro

     Fetfa Fortounis Donis

           Kourbelis Zeca

    Holebas Sokratis Manolas Toro

                  Karnezis

     

    Tachtsidis instead of Kourbelis when playing smaller teams.

     

    notable mentions

    gianniotas as bench winger

    mantalos as a CAM only

    Karelis when Mitro unavailable

    Kpaps if any of our 2 are injured

    Samaris if he gets his form back

    Staf the obvious option as we probably won't see holebas back

    Retsos wouldn't mind doing 3atb but we don't have the fullbacks

    Villafanez. Can play as a winger effectively even tho he's a 10 and he has a greek grandfather so he can do it up.

     

    the actual big black spot is RB when toro retires. Guess Bakakis is next best thing and AEK is doing great that season.

    Aek holding Milan 0-0 twice this season and leading the league. hopefully they can keep form cuz they field the most greek players out of the big four right now.

     

    torosidis had big praises for galanopoulos... anyone seen him play? worth a look?

     

    aek is gunna regularly be playing mantalos laz kone bakasetas galanopoulos klonaridis anestis bakakis

    What about starting Mantalos, with Pelkas and Villafanez as AM/Wing back-ups. Fortounis is stuck in first gear I think Laz.

    Anestis keeper and Lyko or Koutris as LB.

    Does Retsos overtake K Paps or not quite?

    Besides the obvious Donis, as CF back-up along with Karelis,  Karamanos could also be an option as a squaddie.

    CF and captain of the Pirated Pirates team Deano! That would be the best way to play  both Mantalo and Fortouni. What was Skibbe's fear of playing Mantalo as an 8 anyway (cause one of them two would have to advance further from the other behind Mitro and it would be Fortouni most likely). Skibbster could of done that when it mattered, already.

    I also think Donis has upstaged everyone and should probably play anywhere he wants, maybe AM/SS position.

    He says slot of stuff we are saying. Surely Skibbe knows this...

     

    My thio Theofani will be a personal trainer to Tachtsidis as Alefanto suggests for him. Frappe, backgammon then two laps around the oval. Pame.
    Elephant man suggests Mantalos and Fortounis as the first two chosen. Does he suggest if they both start, where they both play? They have both been there and Mantalo has been on the wing and not that flash playing there either.

    Today, my first two chosen for the Pirates are  Donis and Mitroglou.

    Thin on midfielders?

    Dm: Kourbelis, Siopis K Paps Petsos

    Cm: Zeca, Mantalos? Bouchalakis,

            Tachtsidis, Charisis, Samaris

    Am : Donis, Mantalos, Fortounis,  NInis, Villafanez

    Three DM's during the moments where we need full on attacking players. Skibbe has reached an amazing level of stupidity which is unexplainable. I am mesmerised at the level of incompetence this man has shown. He often fails to make the right decisions when a match is in the balance. 

    Fetfa and Holebas still strike me as x factor types as is Donis and our CB's.

    Faroe Islands are really Iceland.
