25 year old striker listed 1.92m who earned a move to Russian league on the back of a 20+ goal season in Slovenia. No doubt starter so far for Rubin Kazan with goals scored against the likes of Dynamo and Lokomotiv.

Super intriguing..

Fun fact: Albania's new players Muja and Daku both failed in the Albanian league.

So did Vedat Muriqi and somewhat Amir Rrahmani (didn’t fail but wasn’t this excellent player). Kind of reflective of the league and how they evaluate players.

Meanwhile the players that have excelled (Bregu, Bardhi, Cinari, etc) have become rejects in the Turkish second division.

Laci and Ramadani are in good form especially Laci he's improved a lot this season. Alongside Asllani I believe thats the strongest midfield combo we can field. Attack would be Bajrami, Uzuni and Cikalleshi (think he is useless but Broja is still recovering). Berisha, Balliu, Ismajli, Djimshiti and Hysaj in defense.
Muci, Daku, Muja, Bare to come off the bench.

Laci is the type of player to run through a brick wall for his team. Sucks that Ajaccio phased him out after he was so crucial to their promotion Ligue 1.

Big accomplishment today starting for Sparta as they came from behind on aggregate to eliminate Dinamo and qualify for UEL groups. Happy for him, always been a fan of his..

Rrahmani was excellent player for Partizani, every season was best defender of the league but Skenderbeu was on his prime, Partizani was enemy of Duka so Rrahmani never got plaudits that he deserved because system was on place to promote only Skenderbeu and their players. People who wasn't paying attention, they don't understand everything was controlled even media narratives, only Duka cronies on sport studios were allowed.

Welcome Daku and Muja I guess.

Surprised to see Roshi back, at least there’s no Balaj.

Fully fit minus Broja, no excuses. 1 win and 1
draw at the minimum.

Because ability and potential is a different thing. That league sucks and sure as hell their development is awful as well and it is probably stunting any of the good talents that come out of there.

Note that it took a long time for Rrahmani to get here.

Muja and Uzuni should start as the wing pair immediately. As a small team we need pace and dribbling on the counter to cause problems as we can't hold the ball and build proper attacking play.

I would like to have seen Vrioni be called as he isn't that bad and can poach some goals but we will probably see Cikalleshi.

Solid list. I'm glad that he doesn't experiment with bums like Xhixha, Skuka, and no Albanian leaguers (he must have seen the european matches).

Interesting that Sylvinho doesn't rate Abrashi at all. Coaches usually love him but not Sylvinho. He seems to value height which explains Gjasula who hasn't kicked a ball in forever and the return of the legend himself, Roshi.
