It has no Arfield and no Hutchinson so I'm not happy. (Although obviously, I did expect we wouldn't have Arfield)

Should probably have a separate thread for squad discussion

No Crepeau I see.

Will probably start in Gold cup.

No Hutch Or Arfield hurts but naturally l, out of excitement I had to make what I personally think is our best XI with this group 😁

Still wouldn’t be surprised if we see Hoilett start instead of Buchanan on that right side, also Vitoria could be in for Kennedy (I know Henry will start and I wanted a natural left at LCB)

made this post not realizing it was an the Aruba thread. I do not think we see this vs Aruba

Id like to understand the Hutch omission. Slightly connecting given he showed up for 1 of 2 games last round for minnows. Youd think he would be inclined to show up against suriname and potentially haiti.

Arfield is not needed especially after his latest comments plus he's been out of form so I disagree with you as far as Arfield goes. Atiba on the other hand I can agree. But new blood get a chance.

I actually can get behind this XI

Any more details? I didn’t see anything coming out of Besiktas’ last game.

For this particular match I think Fraser starts, Piette starts and Hoilett starts.

I won't be surprised if that is the case

🤦‍♂️ I’m an idiot and didn’t realize this was the Aruba thread. Totally meant this as our strongest and not what we’re see v Aruba

No harm, no foul.

Your starting XI looks more like what we may see against Suriname.

[king1010]

Apparently Crepeau is missing due to birth of a child. 

[N1ckbr0wn]

The more Aruba specific squad: 

I went basically full rotation because of the potential 4 match window. If Oso isn’t fully match ready then you probably see David at the 10 again. Went Spoony over Fraser in this case. And, obviously would be just as happy to see Hoilett on either wing, just went with most recent game time (I think Junior will be a good super sub this window)

Ouch. No Atiba really hurts the midfield.

Definitely take Cavallini out...rather have Larin up front and if Osorio is there, he is most likely coming off the bench with David starting in that role. If David is injured, then I could see your logic but I have to disagree with your lineup.

His logic is rest some players for the Aruba game. Full strength squad for Suriname.

Would like to see DSC capped vs Aruba.
