COPA: 16-10-2013 | Jaén v Depor | 19h30 | pre-match thread

[caabrego]

One-leg series. Expect Fernando Vázquez to play with Fabril + Marchena + the debut of Núñez

[Iztok]

My guess would be:

---------------Fabricio-----------------
Seoane-Marchena-Insua (Uxio) - Luisinho
---------------Sidibe-------------------
Nunez----Teles-----JuanCarlos---Bicho-
---------------Luis--------------------

I have a few doubts if Sidibe will be chosen, but Wilk and Alex both need a rest, so it would be only logical.

[Ricardo]

I would probably go for the same line up, but I would pick Alex B for Sidibe.
I hope Nunez is fit for this game, its about time he had a game !

[hari]

I am interested in seeing Uxio and Insua as CBs, Marchena and Teles playing as CMs..

It's official - you've gone mad!!! The Old Man is only coming back to fitness and you want him to chase all around the middle of the pitch looking for the ghost-football !!!

thanks for the compliments

Well, it's not that crazy, because there are 5 CB's in the list of picked players (Marchena, Insua, Kaká, Uxío, Fornos) so maybe one of them is going to play as a DM, because Wilk would need to rest, and Álex isn't in the list. Marchena has played many times in that position (and he likes it), although now, after an injury and out of pace, maybe he would be more comfortable in a 5 defenders line. Also Uxío has played some matches as a DM with Fabril and could be another option for that position.

[Iztok]

I don't think that we can go for a 5-2-2-1 formation if we put Teles-JuanCarlos in the pivot positions. It could really be Marchena that will join the duo at the DM or Wilk, I don't see an alternative with the list of picked players.

[Rack]

I can see what ye're saying with Marchena in the midfield, but I think it's unlikely he'll play there. The duo of Teles-Juan Carlos is very appealing to me and if they're given the license to play with a certain amount of freedom, they could be a dynamic pair. My worry would be the "Lampard-Gerrard factor" - will they compliment each other, or fail miserably to work together. Whichever way it pans out, I'll be keeping a close eye on these two if they start.

Btw, it's interesting that FV didn't call Sidibe into the squad?

Indeed, as Alex is not picked and Wilk probably could need a rest that would be logical. Maybe he is not that confident of his talent?

[Ricardo]

Maybe FV will opt for something like this?

..........................Fabricio................ ............
................Uxio ....Marchena....Insua..............
Seoane..........................................Lu isinho...
............................Teles................. .............
Cani/Nunez............JuanCarlos............Bicho......
..............................Luis................ ...............

About Sidibé, he can't be called. The problem with him is the age, 23, like Romay, because of that they can not combine Fabril and Depor. Both did the preseason with the 1st team, to see if FV counted with them, but once they finally returned to Fabril and started to play, now they can not play with Depor this season (unless until december, I guess, when maybe could win a spot).

About the match, some media, like La Voz, say we'll play with a 5-4-1/5-2-2-1, with Fabricio, Seoane, Uxío, Kaká, Insua, Luisinho; Marchena, Teles; Juan Carlos, Bicho; Luis.

Other media, like TVG and riazor.org, bet for a 4-2-3-1, with Fabricio, Seoane, Uxío, Insua, Luisinho; Marchena, Teles; Núñez, Juan Carlos, Bicho; Luis.
