There are a number of players who can cover more than one position - e.g. Ng as CB, O'Dowda as RB and a few players in the "Colwill" role, but I've only shown them in one position as otherwise it was getting too complicated.

I've also shown their age and contract years remaining.

Have I left anyone out?

Looking at that we have WAY too many central midfielders, especially if we are about to sign another who is better than any of them

Another Centre back wouldn't go amiss - although there is also Benjamin from the U21s

Probably need another right winger and some loans out for some of the Strikers
Quite.

Keepers - good competition there.

Defence? Full backs look good. Ralls can be a third cover at left back at a desperate push. But I agree -I'd like to see see two central defenders added.

Not sure on "too many central midfielders". King will be phased in slowly, not 40 games a season. Not known if Adams will be a regular yet, nor durable for 40 games plus. Which leaves 4 CDMs vying for two positions, and you need rotation in there with fresh legs. Ramsey will work with Colwill in the 10 position is my guess, probably rotating.

Forwards. I'd like to see Watters and Ojo go. Issak Davies will be phased in slowly being a youngster, and won't play 40 + a season.

All in all, sort out central defence and we should have a team capable of pushing top half providing the coach is a major improvement. I think it's a decent squad.
