CR plays naturally wider, or played, than either of these two. Anderson is very good. Man Utd made two great signings. Guess he could be just as good as #10. Nani is a wide attacking mid, but while in SCP - they played with 3 att mids and one holding mid + 2 strikers - he played #10, wide, etc... I say he's best playing wide but not necessarily running all the way to the touchline, like CR. Less pace, more grace. Nani's style is very similar to Figo's. BTW, Caneira got injured and will not play this weekend against Belgium. Antunes, U21 will replace him. http://www.ojogo.pt/Directo/NoticiaHoraModalidades_CaneiraSeleccao3105_19926.asp PT strikers are a problem, already since Eusebio...

Don't know about that, but it may be real crowded for these guys in the field. And Nani and Anderson signed with ManU. Don’t know about that, but it may be real crowded for these guys in the field.

I think tiago and petit are locks as well. I do not like our choice of central defencemen at all though. Would love to see Nani on the other side of the ball.

So him and Petit are starters for sure. Deco in his usual creative mid position (the number 10 spot on field). Yes with Simao and CR out, that means Quaresma should be a shoe-in for the winger role. The big questions are really what Big Phil will do at striker? Does he go with Almeida or Postiga? Based on history I'd say Postiga starts and Almmeida comes in as sub. On defense we will probably see Meira as Carvalho's replacement with Miguel and Andrade and Ferriera filling out the rest. I think you’ll find that Tiago plays in Maniche’s role.
