Other Comments:

James, Bale are not with Real Madrid anymore.
Courtois will wear no 1, Asensio will get the jersey no 11 and Vinicius will wear the no 20 this season.

Squad Updates:

This being the first game of the season and with few injuries in place the best options are as follows.

In the goal Courtois will start, he has been in a good form last season and needs to keep the same going.

Marcelo and Mendy are both available , but Mendy might get the nod ahead this time. Ramos and Varane will start as the center backs. Mendy would start on the left and Carvajal on the right. So Mendy, Varane, Ramos and Carvajal should start. Defence was solid last season but there were few errors in the last few games. So, the defence will have to be very careful.

Modric was really good in the last few games and is more likely to start. So it is going to be Kroos, Casemiro and Modric in the middle. Ødegaard and Valverde will be on the bench and will come handy in the second half.

The forwards have several injuries. Vinicius is the only option on the left in Hazard's absence. Benzema will be the main striker. Rodrygo will start on the right. So Vinicius, Benzema and Rodrygo should start, and Jovic, Lucas Vazquez and Rodrygo should be on the bench.

As there are 5 substitutions available, ZZ should think for more rotations in the second half.

The probable substitutions will be:

Rodrygo > Lucas Vazquez

Mendy > Marcelo

Modric > Ødegaard

Kroos > Valverde

Benzema > Jovic/Mayoral

So the formation would be 4 3 3.

The third kit will be used in the first game!!!

So the final starting 11 will be:

Alaves Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Alaves away from home in the La liga match day 20. The last Real Madrid game was against Alcoyano which was a shameful result after a pathetic display in midfield but as always there were several opportunities wasted by the forwards. The team rating for the match against Alcoyano can be found here: Team Rating From now on all games are like do or die as there is already a huge gap at the top. Real have no option but to win this fixture at any cost. Last year this fixture was a 1-2 Win but we have already lost to Alaves this season at home 2-1. Looking at the Injury list: Rodrygo Carvajal Nacho Suspended : None Just recovered: Ramos Varane Practiced: The rest of the players are available for selection. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: I am responsible because I am the coach. Players have tried. It is not a shame. It's another painful day. Other Comments: The team is in another crisis, the problem is the squad l...

Real Madrid Vs Real Sociedad: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Real Sociedad at home, currently they are at 5th and Real are 2nd on the leader-board. With equal points with Barcelona Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again. First I would like to see the Injury list : Asensio James Lucas Vazquez Nacho Suspended : 1. None Just recovered: Bale Marcelo Practiced: Nacho is practicing alone. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Nothing specific Other Comments: Marcelo has recovered in time and might start. There is too much controversy involving Bale, and ZZ would like to calm things down and might start Bale ahead of Rodrygo, given Rodrygo has joined the team late. Squad Updates: This is a crucial game for La Liga title race, with all the teams neck to neck. With Marcelo practicing more than Mendy he should start. So Marcelo, Ramos, Varane and Carvajal will start, more so with...

Real Madrid vs Celta Vigo: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Celta Vigo at home in the La liga match day 24. Celta are 17th on the leader-board and Real are top of the league. This is a chance for Real to extend the lead and as the gap at the top is very narrow, Madrid is not going to take any risks this time. Looking at the Injury list: Asensio Mariano James Only Asensio is injured. And he has not been practicing with the team. He has started individual workouts now. We hope his recovery is faster and soon he starts playing with the team. Suspended : None, Mendy has 4 yellows and has a risk of suspension. Just recovered: Hazard He has started practicing with the team for two weeks now but still a doubt to play as a starter. Practiced: Asensio is on his recovery process. Mariano and James are not with the team. Others are practicing with the team. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: None. Other Comments: This is a crucial game...

Valencia Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against Valencia away from home, currently they are at 8th and Real are 2nd on the leader-board. With equal points with Barcelona Madrid is not going to take any risks this time again. First I would like to see the Injury list : Asensio Lucas Vazquez Hazard Marcelo Suspended : 1. Mendy Just recovered: Nacho, James Practiced: Asensio, Hazard and Lucas Vázquez continue with their recovery processes. James combined work in the gym and out on the pitch. Bale is back with the team. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Nothing specific Other Comments: With the rest given to Bale, it is time for him to start. Squad Updates: This is a crucial game for La Liga title race, with all the teams neck to neck. With Varane back playing regularly we will have him in the starting 11 and as Marcelo has a muscular injury he should miss and Mendy has a red card so Nacho should sta...

PSG Vs Real Madrid: The Starting 11

The upcoming match is against the PSG in Paris, they too have several injury and form worries themselves. Current Squad Declared with Uefa: https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/season=2020/clubs/club=50051/squad/ (Source: Uefa.com) First I would like to see the injury list : Isco Modric Asensio Valverde Marcelo Suspended : Ramos Nacho Just recovered: Jovic James Hazard Brahim Diaz Rodrygo Practiced: All except the injured lot. Skipped Practice: None Coach Comments: Hazard to start " BBH Sounds good" Benzema to be the leader without Ramos and Marcelo. So the line up seems Hazard to start on the left but will have a backup in Vinicius. With Bale getting rest in la liga is certain to start on the right and switch to left time to time. James has been playing well and with most of the other mid fielders injures is certain to play behind Benzema. Kroos and Casemiro will control the game in the mid. With the suspens...
