Manager
Didrik Gjedrem
Age: 57
Losing to the Champions in penalties is a hard way to go out of the Finals, but it is a respectable exit once the sting of loss finally does ease. Didrik has taken the Marauders back to contention after a single bad cycle and likely now has the reigns over the national team until he decides that he does not want it anymore. He knows how to manage egos as evidenced by his time at United and now the national team as well as get results when his back is against the wall. All that's left is to actually grab some prominent silverware.
Assistant Manager
Kasper Volheim
Age: 44
After a successful trial run with the recently reinstated U21 national team, Volheim was appointed the assistant manager for the senior team as well with the number of youth players that are in the team and pool at large. Having shown to have the capabilities of managing them at Raynor City United's youth team and being a good go between as an assistant in the Di Bradini Cup, Volheim looks to keep up the success rate at the senior level, helping lead the team to end its trophy drought in the regional championship.
Keepers
GK: Isak Helland, age 31, Aleiusia Capital
GK: Günter Obermaier, age 26, Ulsa
GK: Mario Unger, age 28, SC Rinaldi
The curtain has closed on Miljeteig and now there is going to be a scramble to try and fill in the void of the number one shirt for the Marauders. Helland has the best chance of doing so, having had Champions League and Challengers Cup experience with his time at Aleiusia Capital but Obermaier is going to be the starter at a bigger club in a traditionally stronger league and that does give them a track towards taking the shirt to. Not to mention any domestic keepers who are able to keep their team from conceding over forty a game, given the offensive nature of the Premiership, which is something Unger at Rinaldi has done. For the moment though, Helland has the number one shirt but the competition will be fierce to keep it.
Defenders
CB: Vårin Løvland, age 31, Mar Sara FC (F)
R/CB: Ralph Winter, age 26, Kitara AA
CB: Ulrike Kluge, age 31, SC Rinaldi (F)
CB: Claudia Moench, age 28, Raynor City United (F)
LRCB Pierre Wisniewski, age 26, Herzegovina City FC
L/CB Karoline Wellenbrink, age 26, Raynor City United (F)
Defending as a Vanorian is something that need be taught rather than something that comes natural, as the footballing culture of the nation is to play on the attack or at least control the possession of the game to dictate how it is played. Thankfully Vanorian players are usually quick and eager to learn, giving the Marauders a solid enough corps on the defensive side. Winter is perhaps the key piece to the defense, having won numerous top level trophies in their stay at KAA and with the physical presence to be an enforcer if needed. Løvland is a ball playing defender who is a tad undersize but her play in the Premiership shows she is far more than capable of dealing with talented attackers with ease despite her diminutive stature (for a defender). Kluge is a pacy defender who can get forward when needed or track back to cover, though also a tad undersized at five ten. Moench is a solid options off the bench with a proven track record, as is Wellenrink should the side decide to go for a four at the back system. Meanwhile Pierre Wisniewski is a utility belt in the defense but is more comfortable on the left than center, giving the squad a bit of depth and flexibility.
Midfielders
LW: Indra Söderström, age 26, Brinemouth (F)
LW: Jaimes Ybarra, age 31, FC Capri
D/MC: Gideon Riemann, age 26, AS Bezieres
MC: Götz Konstantin, age 26, Bastion
MC: Selim Estrada Barrientos, age 23, Raynor City United
CB/DMC: Matthias Lieven, age 26, Stahlburg City
A/MC: Heike Schoß, age 26, Jinja City FC (F)
AMC/ST: Laborious Hawk, age 754, Bastion
L/RW: Pánfilo Veliz, age 33, FC Capri
AMLR Miriam Troegner, age 26, Stahlburg City (F)
While the strikers might get all the glory, it is the strength of a well talented and drilled midfield that the Marauders are able to win their matches, though that is probably in large part thanks to the masterful talent that is Laborious Hawk at the attacking midfielder position. Hawk could probably play anywhere in the midfield or attack but has always slotted in neatly as that link between the midfield and strikers, able to distribute or take the chances himself. Veliz on the right is an aging star, most noted for being the first player born in Sabine and Caddonia to make the national team, although his superb crossing and dribbling makes him still a viable starter on the wing even if he is not likely to be able to track back on defense. Söderström has stiff competition on the left from Ybarra and the two will likely split starts, both exceptional wingers, though Indra is the younger with a bit more pep her in her step, though Ybarra is quite capable in his own right. In the center of the park Riemann is a destroyer through and through, able to drop into a more anchor position when called upon, allowing Schoß to play in a more playmaking role. The depth in the midfield is first class and there is not much of a drop off when substitutions or rotation is made from game to game, demonstrating the clear importance and strength in the middle of the park for the Marauders.
Forwards
ST/LW: Lothas Ludwig, age 26, Crisisbless
ST: Jutta Palminger, age 25, FC Capri (F)
ST: Elias Hammer, age 27, Lonngeylin Coast
ST: Taina Vääräniemi, age 24, Dí Maozöxê (F)
At the top it is the Ludwig show, not that he has the ego to claim it, but he is one of the best strikers in all of the game right now with a brilliant mix of pace, power, and precision to make him a deadly finisher up front. Scoring goals for fun at Felsenkirchen, before his move this summer, and at very important intervals for the national team, he alongside Hawk are probably the only two names you could pen into any starting eleven on any given matchday. Palminger currently has the position of starting alongside him, being an unusual target forward type build after a late growth spurt, though she is deceptively quick for her size. Behind them are a pair of strikers who all play at an big club and as at least rotational starters with goals in them, not much separating the two from one another, though all are quite some ways behind Ludwig in sheer ability as a striker.
