Marko ARNAUTOVIC (FC Twente Enschede)
Stefan MAIERHOFER (SK Rapid Vienna)
Erwin HOFFER (SK Rapid Vienna)
Rubin OKOTIE (FK Austria Vienna)

this could be Austrias strongest squad - true it's not the latest used one, but when everyone is fit it could quite possibly look like this atm (unsure about Okotie tho - I think Martin HARNIK (Werder Bremen) would take his spot in RL)
(didn't make the latest squad, 'cause there were so many ppl injured and prevented like Manninger, Macho, Payer, Janko to name the most important ones)

[PMC]

really good line up actually

[scr1899]

this could be Austrias strongest squad

Joachim STANDFEST (FK Austria Vienna)

[ravlee]

this could be Austrias strongest squad

Joachim STANDFEST (FK Austria Vienna)

updated first post, lot of numbers are fantasy

BTW what about Stranzl, Linz, Garics, Manninger and Ivanschitz? aren't they regular callups?

Stranzl and Ivanschitz weren't considered because they are watching most games on the stands for their clubs. Manninger I think got injured, Linz lost his spot after the EC and Garics I don't know anything about.

PS: me and scr are working on finishing the NT players

[scr1899]

Garics is injured.

Aso?

very well

[PMC]

needs to be corrected

[Ace]

needs to be corrected

fixed wrong names, about roster I need help from Austrian members, I didn't follow this NT in last months

[PMC]

some were out due to injuries lately so its a bid hard to tell but i can find you the team fielded against Serbia if you'd like to

[E_9]

Mate's, how looks first 11 now??

[Tomatrun]

In the last game, a friendly against Cameroon, the Formation looked like this:

-------------Macho-------------------
Garics--Schiemer--Dragovic--Ortlechner
--------Pehlivan--Scharner------------
-Hölzl--------------------Jantscher--
--------Janko---Hoffer----------------

Constantini almost always uses a 4-4-2 with 2 defensive midfielders, leaving a hole between midfield and strikers. He also likes to put actual CBs on the fullback positions.

That'll be the squad against Faeroes and Romania:


Goalkeepers: Gratzei, Payer, Schranz

Defenders: Dragovic, Ortlechner, Fuchs, Garics, Patocka, Schiemer, Ulmer

Midfielders: Baumgartlinger, Beichler, Jantscher, Hölzl, Drazan, Pehlivan, Trimmel, Leitgeb, Scharner

Strikers: Hoffer, Janko, Maierhofer, Okotie

[Ace]

new call-ups:

Portieri: Almer (Austria Vienna), Gratzei (Sturm Graz), Payer (Rapid Vienna)

Difensori: Dragovic (Austria Vienna), Fuchs (Bochum), Garics (Atalanta), Ortlechner (Austria Vienna), Patocka (Rapid Vienna), Scharner (Wigan), Schiemer (Salzburg)

Centrocampisti: Alaba (Bayern Munich), Baumgartlinger (Austria Vienna), Beichler (Sturm Graz), Drazan (Rapid Vienna), Hoelzl (Sturm Graz), Jantscher (Sturm Graz), Junuzovic (Austria Vienna), Kavlak (Rapid Vienna), Pehlivan (Rapid Vienna)

Attaccanti: Hoffer (Napoli), Janko (Salzburg), Maierhofer (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Wallner (LASK)
-------------------------------
too much differences with first post. if someone is able to make a list of 23, please help us

[PMC]

only Almer ( ) and Alaba weren't created so far.

what exactly do you want?

[Ace]

I just wanted to know is someone knows better than me who are the 23 regulars, because I didn't focus on Austria since last year

[PMC]

scr should know best and I could help there as well

[scr1899]

Well, it's actually hard to choose 23 regulars as there's no clear line discernible in Constantini's plans..

But okay, I'll give it a try..
