Pic 1: Last season's most used XI
Pic 2: Last season's best XI
Pic 3: Next season's possible 2nd XI

Our 2nd XI next season (w/o DDG, Rash, PP, Bruno, Linda, AWB, Matic) looks as good/better than our most used XI from last season.

Promoting Youth + Shrewd Buys = Progress
This is one reason why I urge fans to trust the process. A rebuild is a series of mostly incremental changes with sporadic massive changes.

The team we started last season with & the one we ended with are totally different although we bought just 1 new first team player.
That's due to Ole's focus on promoting youth and also making the players in the squad better.

Bruno was a massive change and Sancho will be another one.

The rest of the squad will incrementally improve thru the season and by the end of next season we'll have a much improved XI
In conclusion

We don't need wholesale changes
Like Ole said there is talent in this squad
Lets fill obvious holes while improving existing players for other spots

The process will take time but the result will be a squad who are all red thru & thru - which is most impt.
PS:

By 2nd XI I don't mean a completely rotated XI but an XI where you can rotate as many as possible w/o a huge drop off in quality esp against weaker/cup opposition.

With just VDB added we can already rest 7 & get a pretty solid 2nd XI. A few more faces & that'll go up.
