Current best 11 with the players we have contracted is maybe something like this?

Serious work needed.
Ravizzoli was released
Also, Eisa and Jules are under contract as we triggered their 1 year options.
If no one left (highly unlikely) and we only recruited a Goalkeeper, it actually wouldn't be a that bad and the team would certainly hold its own in league 2, surely.
--------------Keeper------------
-------O'hora--Tucker--Lewie---
Smith----------------------Harvie
-----------Devoy--Robson-------
----Leko------Eisa------Grant---
Bench options:
Burns
Grigg
Dean
Holland
Jules
Dennis
Kemp
Illunga
Sandford
Actually, after typing that out, its actually a pretty strong team for League 2
I completely butchered my attempt at this and forgot about Eisa, Leko, Jules etc
That line up does look better but I wouldn't go as far as saying it is a strong team. League 2 has been pretty competitive lately and it is shaping up to be very strong next year with Wrexham and Notts County back in the league.
That has to be a strong team in League 2. I know its competitive, but its not near League 1 in my opinion.
O'Hora, Tucker, Lewington, Harvie, Eisa, Robson, Leko are all proven at League 1 level and any team in League 2 would snap your arm off for one of them. Some of these players would be targets for most League 1 clubs too.
Grant showed a lot of promise in League 1 and will be 1 year older too. He should be expected to have a strong season. Devoy similar as Grant, although didn't show quite as much but I think we should expect similar from him this year.
Smith is a Welsh international, although I don't actually rate him. He's the only one in that starting 11 (ignoring the GK position) that I don't think would do well.
The bench also has a mixture of youngish prospect and League 1 experience, as well as Kemp who took League 2 by storm from January.
