Sat 28 Nov17:15Tricky match against Marseille. A defense totally in rebuild mode following absences, and a second game with plenty of goals conceded. The defense is back, and should bring some peace of mind. Belkebla in midfield is back in training, worth seeing if he's ready to start. Up front, battle between El Ouazzani and Peter. Peter's cameo was really impressive, but the manager seems to view him more as a substitute. An update could still happen before the start of the GW

Here's what the Angers lineup could look like this season. I didn't include Belkhdim who has an exit clause. For now the team is playing in a 4-4-2 setup during preseason, but if a three-centerback defense were to return, Louër would have his place in the XI. We'll see if the transfer window gets busy (Ekomié's possible departure, etc)
Key players
Lopes has the heavy task of replacing Koffi. Lefort and Camara are solid, and will need a full season to help the club The midfield pairing Belkebla - Van den Boomen is interesting Up front Sbaï is still a good player, but he gets lost too often in his decisions, which could be a problem for him under Gilli El Ouazzani needs to prove he can be a starter in Ligue 1
Players to watch
Simbakoli is having a very strong preseason and will be one to monitor. Harouna already showed he was talented last year, but this year could have a different role. Bermont comes to gain playing time and bring competition, something that was lacking last year. Bouffandeau and Jildi (if he doesn't leave) could get minutes in the rotation At the back, Louër and some young academy prospects could also get chances (Maël Gernigon perhaps?)
The fan's bet
The squad hasn't changed much, but hasn't improved much either on paper (Lopes not necessarily better than Koffi, Belkhdim was very important and hasn't really been replaced, ...) Staying up will be enough to make most supporters happy. 14th/18
