Pre Season bored thread 01 - Current Ex-Academy XI

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

1) Jindrich Stanek (Viktoria Pitzen)
2) Callum Connelly (Blackpool)
3) Anthonee Robinson (Fulham)
4) Benni Baningime (Hearts)
5) Shane Duffy (Brighton)
6) Shkodran Mustafi (Levante)
7) John Lundstrum (Rangers)
8) Ross Barkley (Chelsea)
9) Shane LAvery (Blackpool)
10) Kieran Dowell (Norwich)
11) Mohamed Ali- Cho (Angers)

Subs
Adam Davies (Sheff Utd)
Tyias Browning (Guangzau Evengrade)
Jake Bidwell (Coventry)
Luke Garbutt (Blackpool)
Ryan Ledson (Preston)
Josh Bowler (Blackpool)
Joe Williams (Bristol City)
Adam Forshaw (Leeds)
Anthony Evans (Bristol Rovers)



I'd go as a 4-3-3 with the back four of Connelly, Robinson, Duffy & Mustafi with Baningime holding & Barkley & Lundstrum in the middle, Cho & Dowell as the wide options & i cant for the life of me find a decent centre forward, closest i could find would be Shane Lavery, but hes not really a centre forward.

Does Bowler & Lavery count as they were bought to play for the under 23s? If not i'd take them out for Walsh & Hornby

Just goes to show, the furthar up the pitch you go, we very rarely produce good footballers (Barkley & Gordon exception), if ever a generation were the picture of there coaches (Unsworth & Stubbs), id presume alot of the coaching was not exactly ball work and progressive football.

I'd say that team would hold there own in lower championship/top league one........basically Wigan

I'm laughing because that's impressive knowledge of obscure ex-players. Big fan of even considering the tactical set up too lol

 

[Saint Domingo]

GK - does one exist?
RB - JJK
CB - Mustafi
CB - Duffy (yeah that's right I'm taking Duffy over Matty 'bus pass' Pennington')
LB - Garbutt
DM - Rodwell
CM - Barkley
CM - Lundstrum
LW - Small
RW - Dowell
ST - Agard




Bottom half of League Two.

Honestly think Rodwell Barkley Lundstram could give our current midfield a game.

Transfermarket is an impressive tool

Thought id see how this would fare against the reds

1.Peter Gulacsi (Red Bull Leipzig)
2. Ki Jana Hoever (Wolves)
3. Jack Robinson (Sheff Utd)
4. Pedro Chirivella (Nantes)
5. Daniel Ayala (Blackburn)
6. Conor Coady (Wolves)
7. Sergi Canos (Brentford)
8. Ryan Kent (Rangers)
9, Raheem Sterling (Man City)
10. Jack Harrison (Leeds)
11. Harry Wilson (Fulham)

They would batter us

 

[KaiserEFC]

David Henen.

Any excuse to bring up the fume on here when he weirdly went to Olympiakos instead of us and then we equally weirdly signed him from them. All for a player who never made a senior appearance for us lol

 

[DanEFC92]

This highlights how toilet our academy is.

 

[hktoffee]

Stones and Lookman etc were not academy players so they aren’t included. Dier was, he was on loan at the academy.

4-3-3

Adam Davies

Kenny Duffy Mustafi Robinson

Barkley Dier Lundstrum

Bowler Cho Dowell

 

[Andy McGurk]

Sorry I should have mentioned, the only formation you can use is any that shoehorns 5 at the back

4-3-3

Adam Davies

Kenny Duffy Mustafi Robinson

Barkley Dier Lundstrum

Bowle Cho Dowell

I'd add Bowler as not academy.

Different people count 'academy players' differently.

Personally if the are at Everton for a period of time without a professional contract, to me they count as being part of our academy setup.

No logic behind it, just my interpretation.

You’re right mate. My bad. Bowler was not an academy player.

They would batter us

Our entire squad was sold for £14m. (The one you quoted).

By example, they’ve got 3 players sold for £10m+, and some you’ve not even listed who went for more. Harry Wilson went for more than any of ours, including England International, Barkley.

Impressive work there ??. I wouldn’t classify Cho as an Academy product though, he came from PSG and went back to France after about 18 months , people generate strange fume around his name like we failed somehow. For centre forwards , Fraser Hornby and Courtney Duffus are out there somewhere if you can track them down , Bassala Sambou was at Crewe last I heard . None would add anything to your team though.
