Starting 11 and possible formations

Right guys, now the window is shut how are we all feeling about the business as a whole. I feel like we have got some decent money for players who were going to leave for free very soon and thos players also didn’t want to be here 100% anyway. The Greek lad has big boots to fill but he’s not alone in doing so when it comes to firing in the goals, I hope he’s the other dimension we have been lacking for a long time, a big presence up front that can bully defenders rather than be bullied. Still think ange will be in the market for a good handful of players in January but maybe giving these guys time to gel and then adding a few more fresh faces in January is a better idea than chucking everyone in all at once and it becoming overwhelming.
Going onto the actually subject of the post, what starting 11 are you guys wanting to see and what formations are you wanting, I feel as though we can experiment a tad with formation as kyogo is effective out wide but no where near as dangerous as when he is more central.
As a 4-2-3-1 I’d be happy with
Hart
Juranovic Welsh vickers taylor
Mcgregor turnbull
Abada kyogo jota
The Greek lad
Thinking we have great pace and creativity in behind the big lad, kyogo is more central just behind the striker and he’s not lost out wide, Turnbull would not need to be as adventurous up front and can stabilise the middle of the park with Mcgregor and dictate play, full backs I’d be happy to see ralston in and Montgomery in, also thing if it was possible for ange to maybe train ralston to become a solid cb or cdm at a push just so that he can stay in and around the team, going off the derby match the new rb looks decent, happy to hear your thoughts on this, I have a few more ideas but can bounce them off people if I get any feedback from this.

Love your positivity. I think it’s been a great window considering it’s Ange’s first, it usually takes managers 2 or 3 windows to make such a stamp on a squad. I would guess that Kyogo and the Greek lad will rotate as the main striker in a 4-1-4-1 formation giving the option to bring either one on to switch to two up front when chasing a goal. I don’t imagine many games will start with both on the field.
