After brining in Dubravka for Maignan and using my captain loop, and only getting 3 points, I have now reverted my Turkish non playing keeper to Maignan to be on field. I have put in an U23 Turkish defender who didn't play in the first game in Kaplan (only defender not to), and has never had an appearance with the first team.

I can't use the Belgian defender who isn't playing as I can't find a non playing midfielder to swap KDB to.

Luckily I brought Maignon back in my side. Extra 11 points over Dubravka.

Currently on 82. The above all depends on the young Turkish defender in Kaplan not getting his first national cap. Given Turkey won last game, they'll be going for broke to qualify. I don't think it is likely he'll play.

Coufal, Bruno, KDB, and Lakuku to play.

You have talked me into taking a risk on Kaplan. My team looks better with both KDB and Lukaku.

LOL! Well he has only played with the U21 or U23, and was the only Turkish defender not to play last round. He isn't in any of the predicted lineups I have seen, and most are saying they'll play a 4-2-3-1. Turkey has 7 defenders on RDT, so it's worth a gamble.

If closer to the game, I don't think it will work, I will move the captaincy to Lakuku and hope they come out blazing against Romania.

An educated guess suggests they are more likely to blood a young player in a dead rubber, though always the risk he comes on for two minutes!

This ain't a dead rubber, as they will want to win or draw. A draw will at least see them through as one one of the 4 best 3rd placed teams.
