At least we now have a new option on offense. The problem will be who will take Konstantelias's place. Pelkas comes to mind, but has been awful so far this season. Also Chatsidis will take Zivkovic's spot. Hopefully he can help. We will have a tough time against Brann in my opinion.

I can't imagine we'll have a very different starting lineup than last game. Pelkas for Konstantelias, Chatsidis for Zivkovic. A shame Despodov still isn't able to play.

I would also not be shocked if we play three CMs instead of Pelkas, though. Santamaria/Zafeiris/Camara.

The list for the matches vs Brann.  Weird that Konstantelias is included. But don't know when this list was supposed to be dropped at the offices of UEFA. 

Παβλένκα, Τσιφτσής, Μοναστηρλής, Κένι, Χατζηδιάκος, Μιχαηλίδης, Ελουστόντο, Γιαννούλης, Γκόμεζ, Μπάμπα, Θυμιάνης, Τέιλορ, Καμαρά, Σανταμαρία, Πέλκας, Τάισον, Ζαφείρης, Άλι, Λουσέ, Τσοπούρογλου, Κωνσταντέλιας, Ζίβκοβιτς, Γερεμέγιεφ και Σορετίρε.

 

Οι Μύθου, Μπέρδος, Χατσίδης και Μπαταούλας έχουν δηλωθεί στη λίστα Β, η οποία προς το παρόν δεν εμφανίζεται στην ιστοσελίδα της UEFA.

Bet you they're going to make the update with another signing right before the game

Am I reading that right? 4 left backs?? Wouldn’t surprise me to see them play Baba as LW
