Predict the starting XI for season 2015/16

In 1.5 years who do you think will still be around, step into a starting spot, bought, or sold to make up our starting XI

keep in mind the ages.

I'll start out, and remember no one is a fortune teller so this will all be hypothetical.

De Gea(24)
Carvajal(23) Varane(22) Ramos(29) Marcelo(27)
Illarramendi(25)
Pogba(22) Modric(29)
Isco (23)
Benzema(27) Ronaldo(30)

Coach: Carlo Ancelotti

Which would mean Ramos is captain with Marcelo as vice-captain. Ruh Roh.

Kinda a toss-up with the forwards as I think Benzema could very likely be sold (probably replaced by Aguero) unless he steps it up, I also think Ronaldo could be sold as by that time he would be 30 going on 31, and who knows how he will be able to keep up. Anyways I definitely see him more as a striker as he gets on in age.

Whoops ya I completely forgot about Bale. I don't think Casillas will make it to 2015 unfortunately

I can't see him leaving. He's shown he's committed to the club recently. Hopefully we get to the CL final this year and he performs the best he ever has in every knockout game, thereby getting his starting spot back for league games.

what is lopez to u guys?

Lopez is a quality keeper but in the context of this thread I think most people believe Iker will take his spot back leaving Lopez on the bench or sold.
