Kristjan Asllani just made his debut for Empoli, Bajrami also subbed on

NOTE on Bajrami, Ismajli, Gym and others that were benched this week - there is THREE games in one week of Serie A this week so teams need to keep their starters fresh

Who is this Asllani? 19 year old from Elbasan, but never heard of him.

Played for our U21 , been on fringes of Empoli for a while. We've mentioned him on here. They also have another Albanian but he's further off.

Nice for Cekici scoring Zidane style goals but he has to do that with the NT otherwise they don’t count.

We need to resurrect Bujari's youth scouting thread from Xtratime to keep track of these young players.

In his defense he's barely had chances with the NT. He's had one start and a few substitute appearances. He's also not a fit in Reja's system as the only position he can realistically play in Reja's 3-5-2 is the attacking midfield position and with Bajrami there he'll only get substitute appearances. Plus Reja tends to play very defensive and really doesn't like a player like Cekici. He's still a good attacking option on the bench though. If we ever switch to a 4-3-3 or a 3-4-3 that might open up some chances for him in a winger role although I think attacking midfield is his best position as he lacks pace to be a dangerous winger.

Decent player though. Comfortable with the ball on his feet and can shoot it from distance. Always wanted to get a better look at him for the NT instead of other guys that were being rolled out there over the years.
