There seems to be no sense in playing Disasi if you dont have to tbf, Gusto Right back and Veiga Left back looks more balanced to me.

Sancho & Neto on the wings with Palmer in the middle (10) role and Jackson up front and Caicedo & Fernadez at the heart of midfield is possibly one of our strongest teams to field.

Minutes for academy players in the last 30 if we are 2 or 3 goals to the good.

In his press conference, Maresca said that Lavia is doubtful for this game. I suspect he won't start. At best he'll be on the bench.

Without Lavia, either you start Acheampong/Disasi at right back and Gusto at left back OR you have Gusto at right back and Veiga at left back.

Or, another way to think about it is that one out of Disasi, Acheampong, or Veiga will start this game. Everyone else you have in your lineup looks right to me.

Would go with Josh or Veiga, anyone apart from Disasi

Agree. Disasi gives you bulk and height at RB but zero going forward and no pace. Viega gives you height and is better on the ball; also lets Guisto stay at RB. Acheampong arguably a classier player than both - but 18. My money would be on Guisto RB, Tosin RCB, Colwill LCB and Viega LB.
