The good thing about that lineup is that every single one of those players has played in a top 5 league at some point (even if it's for a short time like in Uzuni's case). So at the very least they should be competitive.
Obviously if you want to nitpick there are weaknesses... like no wingers, soft defenders, no ball playing midfielders, etc but considering all the players available it's an understandable lineup.

Same formation Empoli used last year, if done correctly the no wingers shouldn’t be a problem. Plus with Balliu and Hysaj at their natural FB positions should have decent width.
Asllani is a ball playing midfielder no ? And let’s Bajrami play in his best position letting him focus on creating and scoring goals. We should win, just like we should have won last time too.

Ramadani is in great shape and deserved to start here, but a midfield of Laci-Gjasula-Abrashi is way more understandable than starting Asllani there.
They have more experience with the NT and each have started matches with their clubs this season. Ramadani should be the first one off the bench in midfield though..

Asllani MUST have done something to you. Actually you’re just being a contrarian cunt for no reason. Same way you behaved with Broja at first.

I think Laci is preferred over Asllani to cover for Balliu's overlapping. Reja trusts Laci defensively more than Asllani to cover those areas.
I would've dropped cement boots Gjasula but he's also being used as a utility CB in this formation so it's whatever.

Cikalleshi and Manaj made a good pairing in attack while Broja was producing better off the bench, not giving 100% on the pitch around that time..
Now that former MVP Cikalleshi has faded, it is all about Broja!

Gjasula is there to serve as a third centerback.

Laci is very similar to T. Xhaka in play style..
Midfield trio of Laci-Gjasula-Abrashi is the closest we will get to Xhaka-Kukeli-Abrashi. Excited to see what they can do here!

Is Strakosha called up? Let's fucking end it with Berisha. He's in 30s already. At least keep Strakosha in form.
