After yesterday's transfer business, looking at the squad if fully fit, its difficult to name many definite starters.
Eastwood and Silva but who else? Payne probably? Riberio possibly although some suggest Carroll is hot on his heals? Even Nelson might not be guaranteed a start anymore???
Anyone else?
Strong squad on paper, let's hope they all click and push each other up the league.

Well Thomas has been starting ahead of Obika (as did Gino last week) Ruffels definitely starting behind Ledson?

Obika seems to be very effective at coming off the bench so Pep might give him a start (I would, hence why he is included, though fair enough not guaranteed). In hindsight neither of the 2 CMs are guaranteed either with Ruffels being the other option. It depends where Pep sees Mowatt playing. Maybe he see him as the left winger, which leaves ruffels and ledson in CM.

When fully fit. CB no definites there for me Nelson / Moushino / Williamson / Raglan?? CM no definite there either Lesson / Mowatt / Ruffles / Rothwell and let's not forget the Swedish international Pekalski. ST as we've seen already no guaranteed starter there either Edit: posted this before I saw your last post leedsexile.

Quite a few options in most areas and many with championship experience. Less so up front. Eastwood Silva Payne Mowatt Those 4 definite starters and a bun fight for the rest.

I've stopped having starters, preferring a main course and afters combo...

Eastwood, Ricardinho and Payne are the only ones I'd consider 100% safe so long as they're fit and available.

Eastwood, Payne and Ledson, i'd probably put Nelson here too but he has more competition than anyone in the squad so you never know

Eastwood Nelson Ricardinho Ledson
Those are the only definite starters IMO. I reckon we've got good competition in all positions except maybe leftback. Obika could stake a claim to be the main Striker if Thomas cannot maintain fitness or form.

I hope Carroll will replace Ribero, unless Tiendalli can get his fitness and form back.

No thanks, Josh has become a good player for us to have, but he's a massive downgrade on Lunny from last season and we lack any kind of creativity with him and Ledson in centre mid together

Mowatt replacing Johnson on the left, not in the middle

Oh, those Brazilians, you know? Circa 1970? Broke the mould. Theory out the window. Free expression of football. Uncategorisable. Is that a word? It is now! You know? Far cry from small boys in the park, jumpers for goalposts. Rush goalie. Two at the back, three in the middle, four up front, one's gone home for his tea. Beans on toast? Possibly, don't quote me on that. Marvellous.

Depends on the type of game I would imagine. Away from home and trying to be resolute you'd probably play Ruffels and Ledson in the middle, but at home trying to break a team down you could probably do away with one of those two (probably Ruffels) and put in Mowatt (who I understand is more of a creative), or maybe even Rothwell.
