Personally I’d go with:

DPC
De Jesus - Kikianis - Leonard - Lino
Yull - Okon
Youlley
Irankunda - Waddingham - Younis​
 
Some fantastic attacking options in this age group though which is super refreshing compared to previous cohorts, considering we had the likes of Wales and Pierias on the wings in Tokyo.

Strikers:
  1. Waddingham
  2. Jovanovic
  3. Caputo
  4. Toure
  5. Memeti
  6. Sulemani
  7. Bosnjak
  8. Najdovski
  9. Lavale
  10. Glasson
  11. Mazzone

Wingers:
  1. Irankunda
  2. Younis
  3. Bennie
  4. Brandtman
  5. Mazzeo
  6. Amanatidis
  7. Faisal
  8. Ngo
  9. Brazete

#10s:
  1. Youlley
  2. Di Pizio
  3. Badolato
  4. Quintal
  5. Bugarija
  6. Pearman

Too early for Haine Eames to sneak in ahead of Pearman?

There's a bit of depth at CB too. Esposito and Matthews are options there.

This is great. It'd be cool to see a depth chart for other positions too.
 
Any idea where? I wonder if he stays in Germany?
Yeah I'd like to see him try for buli 2. No pressure since a lot of first loans don't work out but huge upside if it does work this early in his career
 
Some sons of Australian football royalty there right? Kade Baccus, Antony Didiluca? One of the Williams??
Rhys Williams and Jared Williams unrelated to any past player afaik. Henrique is Cassio's son. Alfaro is Aydan/Tristan Hammond's cousin I believe.

So a rough best domestic side is probably
---------------------Peraic Cullen-----------------
-De Jesus-Kikianis-Leonard-Lisolajski-
-----------------Shreiber--------------------
-------Pearman--------Yull----------------
----Jovanovic-Mehmeti-Mazzeo---

interestingly this is about as strong as our olyroos side a few years ago arnie coached. The average rating of that team is 6.79. This would have this team 8th on the a league table

our os players include Younis, irankunda, Youlley, Okon, Esposito (cb), Bennie, Waddingham, any others?
 
Franko lino from viking fc is another player to consider if he is fit. Plays as a fullback which is a week position for us

Skoko (2006), Pavlesic (2006), Novello (2005)
 
Best team imo

-------------peraic cullen/pavlesic--------------
-de Jesus---kikianis---leonard---lino----
------------------okon/shreiber----------------------
--------------youlley-------pearman/yull---------
-irankunda-------jovanovic------bennie------

Sadly Di pizio out who is a real promising player. Wasn't sure on three positions and waddingham v jovanovic is a another interesting battle
 
Just looking at the depth but this must be one of the most strongest u20 cohorts in a long time.

A full strength side would compete for top 6 spot in the a-league quite easily, a very promising generation given the depth and quality is available I just worry if we don't have the right coaches to get the best out of them as we saw with the Olyroos last year that talent alone is not enough to get results.
 
I wonder if we get irankunda younis and bennie coming?

What is our best xi?

Off the top of my head I think

------------------peraic cullen--------------
--de jesus----leonard-----kikianis-----lima
---------------youlley---shreiber---------------
--------------------brandtman--------------------
-irankunda-----waddingham----bennie

Bit weak in mid field but maybe I don't have the best xi there. Forwards and backs look impressive tho I wonder if I have the best fullback choices? Striker is stacked
Younis is getting goals and assists in Jong PSV. Player of match so he is well ahead of Bennie
