hopefully not

podolski has been abysmal for the last 5 years...

no gundogan
no benders

Durm called up.

Fail of epic proportions.

All 3 of them are injured afaik

You don't win games with Muller as your main striker.

Having bastian in midfield will be a pain especially vs team that defend deep and launch quick counters. Guy is perhaps slower than mertesacker.
Khedira will be unfit and ginter will be the only one able to play in front of the back four. And although he performed well in bundesliga, its too early for international appearance.

both benders and gündogan are injured and out completely basics please



he will be top scorer
doesnt matter where he plays



kramer will be first back up in defensive midfield
but you are right about schweini ^^

USA and Portugal making it out of that group

durm = left back

since schmelzer didn't made the squad (got kicked today), he will most likely start as lb. with großkreutz being his backup

Chances are that durm plays left, kevin right (he`s been great for dortmund while durm was highly inconsistent).
And lahm plays a pivotal role in the mid allowing schweini to play more offensive. smth like

------------prick-------
kevin---hummells-merte--durm
-------------lahm-------------
----------schweini---kroos-----
---gotze-------------------reus
----------------muller---------

Imo its highly more lucrative mid than having either kroos or scweini deep

When in possesion, lahm could move wing role while gotze plays like under guardiola as fake 10, adding creativity to the central mid.

Could work imo.

well, that doesnt look too bad in general and is worth a thought, but given the fact how kroos and schweini are atm.....it wont work
btw löw will not go for a 4-3-3 thats for sure

your back four looks very good though, this could work
but boateng will more likely play on the right

who knows, löw is a coach who fears decisions and will present his formation in the last possible instant
