With Lila-Lilaj duo on the right i'm expecting at least one red card. Curious to watch Veseli-Ajeti duo perform .

Lilaj seems to be in the same mold as Abrashi. Gashi at forward is something that makes sense with his off ball movement and poaching but something tells me he's gonna be playing more in the midfield as opposed to striker today.

Lenjani and Roshi are dynamic. I really like Lenjani as a player even if he's got some mental flaws. If Rashica isn't called up I think Lenjani and Roshi on the wings are the best thing we can do.

Really surprised at Veseli being capped. I suppose hes earned it more than Ajeti. I'm wondering if DB will give someone like Alban Pnishi(regular for Grasshoper) a cap going forward.

The problem is that you can take only 23 players to France . I voted on the selection here http://www.top-channel.tv/lajme/euro16.php and well i don't know who to exclude :

There will be three gk: Berisha, Shehi, Hoxha
Expecting to be 3 strikers : Cikalleshi, Balaj, Sadiku
In midfield 9 players : Xhaka, Basha, Kukeli, Abrashi, Kaçe, Roshi , Lenjani, Gashi, Memushaj
The back 4 usually get injured very often and guess he is trying many CBs just in case injures like Mavraj happen before Euro2016 so this would be my defensive players list to call: Hysaj, Cana , Mavraj, Ajeti, Lila, Agolli, Djimsiti, Aliji .

That's the most probable 23 man team. Would exchange Sadiku with Manaj if Manaj performs well or call Veseli/Rashica if the team has injured players in defence or midfield. During last two interviews De Biasi seemed very stressed about the 23 mans list for the Euros . Our amateur journalists stress him on stuff like that and not things like Avdiaj-Rashica.

Is it gonna be a 4-4-2 or a 4-2-3-1 with gashi playing in the hole/acting as a supporting striker

Sadiku has 5 goals this seasom compared to Cikaleshi's 0. I hope Sadiku scores today to keep Cikaleshi out of the team and hopefullythe squad, i honestly don't know how any of you like him.

Anyway, Manaj should of definitely started upfront as it's a friendly. About the list, obviously things will change in the coming months if the list is made right now then Rashica is in no doubt for me, i just hope he continues this form so there is no way anybody can question his place.

Just wanted to see how hard the list would be to pick, pretty easy and no hard decisions really.

Berisha, Shehi, Strakosha

Hysaj, Lila, Cana, Mavraj, Ajeti, Djmshiti, Aliji, Agolli

Kace, Xhaka, Abrashi, Memushaj, Shala, Rashica, Gashi, Roshi, Lenjani

Manaj, Balaj, Sadiku

We have some versatile players which is really good like Lila can slot into midfield of Hysaj left back and so on, so this has to be considered.
Only problem would be i would also like to bring in Avdijaj and Tarashaj so this maybe could cause a little dilemma but for now that was piss easy.

Kukeli deserves to get in the list though ,,, guy has played every single match during these qualifiers. And there is no Basha neither

Basha has been horrendous during these qualifiers plus is now a bench players. Kukeli was never good enough.
Plus who would you take out from Kace, Xhaka, Memushaj, Shala and Lila for one of those because you wouldn't add another one as you have enough.

Everyone wants us in their group. Really depends on what players we take as we could show them up.

Honestly with the addition of Xhimshiti, Manaj, Veseli, and the return of Mavraj I think our team will definitely be better than most people expect.

We are the underdogs, this is the role this team seems to embrace.
