Mbrojtës: Andi Lila, Elseid Hysaj, Lorik Cana, Mërgim Mavraj, Arlind Ajeti, Berat Gjimshiti, Ansi Agolli.

Mesfushorë: Taulant Xhaka, Amir Abrashi, Herolind Shala, Ermir Lenjani, Shkëlzen Gashi, Ergys Kace, Odise Roshi, Ledian Memushaj, Migjen Basha dhe Burim Kukeli.

Sulmues: Sokol Cikalleshi, Bekim Balaj dhe Armando Sadiku.

Yeah i think we all predicted this pretty much. Idk why some ppl here hyped naser aliji, maybe they wer happy cus we qualified after the game against armenia but hes not that good. I didnt have an account back then cus i didnt feel like argueing but not sur if it was here or xtratime but u guys honestly overhyped the sht outta him over a game that was pretty much pointless to armenia. Im not gonna be dissapointed if hes not in the euros squad.

I have to admit I was impressed by him. I can only judge him by what I saw with NT as I don't follow his club.

Having Herolind Shala on the roster is a joke. Not because he's a bad player or anything but the fact he's been on the NT since 2014 and only has made a few meaningless appearances. He's not going to play for a minute either so it's a waste of a spot. How can you say Rashica is a "risk" when you've called up Shala for the past two years and never played him? GDB isn't going to suddenly play Shala in the Euros.

Only one of Basha and Kukeli should be called up. Although, GDB likes inserting them both in the same lineup(Kukeli and Basha both as holding midfielders). I'd have Kukeli who's been decent for the NT.

Having three pure forwards is overkill too. I'd call up Cikaleshi and Sadiku. Sadiku is not a bad energy sub off the bench while Balaj is painfully mediocre. Cikaleshi is without a doubt the best striker of the three.

Rashica, Aliji and Bulku should be called up in place of Basha, Shala and Balaj.

^ @artan i see what you did there , Bulku f***ng deserves a callup more than anyone

I was impressed by aliji too . he is much better on the ball than agolli who can only put crosses vs gibraltar but when good competition comes he plays scared

there is no place really to put aliji thou except for shala .. not callin kukeli and basha and gashi who have all played and contributed to this just isnt de biasis thing

I messaged Altin Lala ( Rashica's manager) whether Rashica has been called up for France and this was his reply 'E ka marr per 27 jo perfundimisht
