Nicely written, love it. Only add on I have is that Camavinga needs to be in that Midfield. Him and Rodrygo were the most improved players this season and they both deserve a spot on that starting 11. The selection is going to be crazy and I know these young kids will fight for their position. It’s all up to the coach, he can’t go ring with whatever starting 11 he chose but rotation will be key this season.

Yeah! this was hard, but we have the option of:
Kroos and Camavinga in a midfield pivot if we play Arribas/Guler/Brahim in front of them and Joselu in the CF spot.  

Also, there are several options for us, like 
Valverde/Camavinga/Modric
Bellingham/Camavinga/Guler
Ceballos/Tchou/Guler
Bellingham/Tchou/Modric
Camavinga/Tchou/Bellingham
Kroos/Tchou/Valverde
Ceballos/Bellingham/Modric 

These 8 Midfielders just gi e us so many potential combinations, it had to absolutely frustrate every opposing manager as they may never know which 2, 3, or 4  of them managers have to prepare for.  All these. combinations offer very different ways of unlocking defenses.

The thing is we still have to put 3 Midfielders so some of them will come in to terrorize tired legs one game and start the next one.  Rotating just got a lot easier.  Don Carlo needs to leave RM with a BANG knowing he is off to Brazil and Brazil has a whole bunch of amazing players at every position.  This could be his opportunity to show the Brazilians that he is going to trust all of them.

For people here who think our midfield is overstocked, please consider this.  

We need a squad of at least 26 players.  24 outfield and 2 keepers.  

Defense:
Carvajal/Militao/Alaba/Mendy
Vazquez?/Nacho/Rudiger/Fran

Midfield:
Tchou/Bellingham/Valverde
Kroos/Camavinga/Guler
Modric and Ceballos
** Modric and Kroos will leave next year, leaving us room for 2 potential additions next year.

Offense:
Vini/Joselu/Rodrygo
Arribas/Alvaro/Brahim

That leaves us with a squad of 24 players.  There is still room for 2 more.  

## Arribas MUST be incorporated into the first team squad.  Arribas/Guler/Brahim will be fun to watch with Joselu in front of them.  
All we need is to sign Osimhen.
Vini/Osimhen/Rodrygo with Valverde/Tchou/Bellingham in midfield should scarecthe crap out of any defense.

The midfield is our heart and soul and these 8 Midfielders give us the options needed to break any defense we might face.  It is a long season with a lot of competitions.  Having 8 Midfielders allows folks to gi e it their all knowing rotations will not lead to a drop in quality.  

I absolutely love how our team is shaping up.  A RB and striker is all we need to complete this squad.  Alvaro is still very young and could train with the first team while playing for both Castilla and the first team if needed.  Ditto Iker Bravo and Nico Paz.  Especially when accounting for injuries and suspensions or rotations.
