Analyzing goalkeeper options

I'm thinking of going with a classic 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation and figuring out the positions based on player appearances. For the goalkeeper position, Zeljko Kalac stands out as a solid choice since he has about 83 appearances in Serie A. Others like Eiji Kawashima and Mathew Ryan haven't played there. I’m considering Yuto Nagatomo, who is versatile—more of a left-back than a right-back, but maybe he could work. I'll need to finalize these selections!Assessing defensive options

For right-back, I consider Takehiro Tomiyasu, who has 61 appearances. In the center-back position, Maya Yoshida looks promising with around 79 appearances, while Kim Min-jae has 33. I need to remember that Vince Grella is a midfielder, not a defender. Other potential center-backs like Jeison Murillo and Milos Degenek haven’t played in Italy. Overall, I’m leaning towards Maya Yoshida as a solid center-back choice, but I still need to narrow down my options further.Choosing defensive and midfield options

I’m considering Alessandro Circati as a center-back, but he hasn't played recently. Milos Vulić is another option. I might go with Kim Min-jae even with only 33 appearances or stick with Maya Yoshida. For left-back, Yuto Nagatomo could fit since I can use him at both left-back and right-back with Tomiyasu. In midfield, I’m looking at Hidetoshi Nakata, Mark Bresciano, and Vince Grella as solid pivots for our formation. It seems Bresciano and Grella could work well together!Finalizing the squad

I’m focusing on wingers and forwards, with solid options like Keisuke Honda and Shunsuke Nakamura on the right. Eldor Shomurodov seems to be a top striker choice, while Takayuki Morimoto could fit in as a second striker or winger. I want to ensure that I can fit everyone into an organized 4-2-3-1 formation. So, I’m finalizing my team with Kalac in goal, Tomiyasu at right-back, and Yoshida and Kim Min-jae as center-backs. Then Nagatomo at left-back.
