The list is out for the first matchday of the 2008 / 2009 UEFA Cup on Thursday, October 21 against Heerenveen. 

I checked the list and I see with almost disbelief the section of strikers, imagine 7 strikers called up, wow!  

The weakest area right now for Milan is the midfield, only 4 called up players because our injured players, which include the architect Andrea Pirlo.    Though, I won't be that concerned because in any case Seedorf can go back to cover his "former position" as a midfielder along with Musica and Magia Kaka.

Here is the complete list of 21 players called up by AC Milan Coach Carlo Ancelotti:

Who will be your ideal formation?  Will you for the 4-3-2-1, or the 4-4-2 and why?
