The team consists of 23 players which all play in every game. There are three goal keepers; nine mid-fielders; seven in defence and four forwards. Otto (the coach) likes to play the game by having the formation of a five-man option in defence comprised of three central defenders flanked on either side by two defensive midfielders. At the centre of the pitch during a game, we are likely to see four players giving support to the defence and striving to release a lone striker up front. With a fully fit squad, Rehhagel can thrive on greater flexibility to convert from a 5-4-1 formation to a 3-4-3 in attacking situations.

The team is as follows:
